IReL: a valued research resource
Your Research is Valued
Despite cutbacks, funding has been secured for the continuation of IReL (Irish Research eLibrary). This means that researchers will continue to have access to key research resources, thanks to vital support from HEA and IUA Council. Reduced costs have been achieved following major negotiations wit publishers.
To mark this achievement, there will be a celebration launch by the University President, Dr James J Browne. The event will take place on Monday 5 July at 16.30 in the Library foyer. As part of the launch, Subject and Research Librarians will be present to discuss the advantages offered by IReL. Library staff will be pleased to welcome academic staff and researchers to the launch. Please email rioghna.moggan@nuigalway.ie by 30 June if you would like to attend.
IReL is a nationally funded electronic research library supporting researchers across a range of disciplines. It delivers quality peer-reviewed online research journals, databases and e-books to the desktops of researchers.
It has the advantage of providing economies of scale, since it would not be possible for individual institutions to afford all of the electronic resources available through IReL. It also allows for the collaborative cross-institutional and cross-disciplinary nature of the various research initiatives. In addition to ensuring Ireland's competitive advantage for access to high quality research, the benefits of IReL are available to all students and staff in the universities.
