Time to move on with our A-Z of the highlights of UWTSD libraries - today we’ve reached the letter H…

H is for:

·    Home – You don’t need to come into the library to access our fantastic resources, our online library is accessible from home 24/7. All you need is your university login and password and you’ll be able to access E-books, E-journals, E-newspapers and more without even stepping outside your own front door! Plus our library catalogue is available on our website and expert help from your subject librarian is only a phone call away if needed…so why not let us bring the library to you?!

·  Helpdesk (IT) – If you’re having problems with your university login/password, accessing Moodle, or any other IT related problems feel free to contact the IT Helpdesk for assistance. They can be reached by emailing Helpdesk@uwtsd.ac.uk or by calling (01792) 481134. 

·       Health, History, Heritage & Hospitality! – You’ll find information on a whole host of academic subjects at UWTSD libraries, these are just a few beginning with H!! Don’t forget the databases in our online library too, such as – Hospitality & Tourism Complete or Humanities Source.

·     Happy to Help – Remember, you can always ask a member of the library staff if you have any information related problems or queries…we’re happy to help!

World Heritage Day

Did you know that Wednesday 18th April 2012 is the 40th annual World Heritage Day? On this day our attention is drawn to all aspects of cultural heritage, monuments and historical sites of national and international importance, in particular their protection and conservation for future generations.

If this is an area that is of interest to you why not pop in to the Owen library here at SMU and browse our collection of heritage studies books located at shelfmark 790.53 or take a look at some of our e-book titles such as: Interpreting our Heritage by Freeman Tilden.

If you are particularly interested in the cultural heritage of Wales you could try a website called Gathering the Jewels which has digitised a collection of over 30,000 photographs, letters and other objects from museums, libraries and archives all over Wales. Or maybe you fancy being a little more active and actually visiting some local heritage sites in the Swansea area - if so take some inspiration from the list on Swansea Bay's tourism website.

Let us know what some of your favourite heritage attractions are in Wales or further afield, we'd love to hear from you...happy World Heritage Day!!
