I’m pleased to have led an initiative
with NRAL and Taylor and Francis to produce this special virtual issue of the New Review of Academic Librarianship (NRAL)
which provides free access to 15 articles from 24 authors sharing insights
into how Irish librarians are addressing issues and developments which are
common concerns to the international library profession. These articles are part of a growing body of research literature being
created by Irish librarians providing a valuable record of Irish research and
practice over the past seven years for current and future practitioners and
researchers in Ireland and internationally. This special issue
celebrates the contribution of Irish librarians to The New Review of Academic Librarianship (NRAL) and marks Library
Ireland Week (LIW) an annual event in November to celebrate Irish libraries and
the contribution of information professionals to society.
Philip Cohen, President of the Library Association of Ireland, will formally launch the virtual issue at a reception
closing the seminar Academic Librarians
Communicating in the 21st Century: Perspectives from New Review of
Academic Librarianship in Maynooth University Library on 20th
October.
