Library Services recently announced a significant expansion to our online resources collection for 2019 through the IReL consortium. The almost 50 new resources consist of e-journal packages, databases, and single journal titles.
IReL (the Irish Research e-Library https://irelibrary.ie/) is a nationally funded online research library providing access to leading Science Technology and Medicine (STM) and Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS) resources.
