The CUAL repository is another handy online resource - CUAL makes research by staff and students at the three institutes (GMIT, Letterkenny IT and Sligo IT) available to the academic, business and wider communities in the Connacht-Ulster Region of Ireland - http://cual.openrepository.com/cual

Slán Carmel

Carmel Kavanagh retires from GMIT after twelve years of service in the library. Most of that time was spent in CCAM Library.

Carmel’s interest in and enthusiasm for art and artistic work meant she was a great representative for the library service. Her own natural curiosity helped her research topics of interest for students and staff alike. 

Carmel’s warm personality and sense of humour will be missed by all.
