The Thomas Parry Library at Aberystwyth is part of the library of the University of Wales Aberystwyth, and serves the Department of Information and Library Studies. The University Library joined the University's Computing and Audio-visual Units in 1995 to form the Information Service, University of Wales Aberystwyth. ==History== The Library was opened in June 1970 to serve the College of Librarianship Wales. The architect was G. R. Bruce, the builder G. M. Jenkins and Sons, Tregaron and it cost £135,000. When in 1989, the College of Librarianship Wales became part of the University of Wales Aberystwyth, under the name of the 'Department of Information and Library Studies' (), the library became part of the University's Library service. This, in 1995, joined the University's Computing and Audio-visual Units to form Information Service, University of Wales, Aberystwyth. In August 1995 the library was renamed the Thomas Parry Library. It was named after the distinguished scholar, and former librarian at the National Library of Wales, Sir Thomas Parry. In 1996 the Welsh Agricultural College (WAC), another previously autonomous institution located on Aberystwyth's Llanbadarn Fawr Campus, merged with UWA to form the Welsh Institute of Rural Studies (). The library of the former WAC (which also served the adjacent Coleg Ceredigion) merged with the Thomas Parry Library, which was extended and substantially re-modelled to cope with the substantial increase in stock, staff and readers. The Thomas Parry Library serves the teaching and research needs of the Department of Information Studies (DIS), the Institute of Biological, Environmental and Rural Sciences (IBERS) and Coleg Ceredigion. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Thomas Parry Library」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
