  • James Hardiman Library, National University of Ireland, Galway
    James Hardiman Library, National University of Ireland, Galway Extract from the Librarian's Report 2001/2002 Highlights Building on the work of the previous year, the Senior Management Team identified a number of priority areas for library users and library staff and much progress was made in a number of these. Through cross-functional teams, some excellent work was done on: • Orientation Week • New Information Week • New Library Website • Library management system implementation and enhancement • Initial work on a new collection management policy • New signing and guiding system for the library. The off-campus meetings of the Team devoted considerable time to identifying and progressing strategic issues to include; supporting research; supporting distributed learning; contributing to the university e-learning strategy; staff training and development; services to users with disabilities and special needs and overall improvement of internal communications. On the latter, the Library Intranet is playing a vital role, as is the Newsletter and the Library website – but nonetheless Library management is conscious of the amount of senior staff time still expended on staffing issues, and the need to strike a balance to afford a more acceptable work load for all involved. Work began on progressing work-life balance through a partnership approach and a new Library social club was established. With improved flow of information within and across divisions, more time was spent at senior staff meetings on more strategic topics. Sadly, little progress can be reported on environmental issues, which continue to be of major concern to all staff, and there has been no increase in space or storage for users or library material.

  • The Dublin Gate Theatre Archive, 1928 - 1979
    Charles Deering McCormick Library of Special Collections Northwestern University Libraries Dublin Gate Theatre Archive The Dublin Gate Theatre Archive, 1928 - 1979 History: The Dublin Gate Theatre was founded by Hilton Edwards (1903-1982) and Micheál MacLiammóir (1899-1978), two Englishmen who had met touring in Ireland with Anew McMaster's acting company. Edwards was a singer and established Shakespearian actor, and MacLiammóir, actually born Alfred Michael Willmore, had been a noted child actor, then a graphic artist, student of Gaelic, and enthusiast of Celtic culture. Taking their company’s name from Peter Godfrey’s Gate Theatre Studio in London, the young actors' goal was to produce and re-interpret world drama in Dublin, classic and contemporary, providing a new kind of theatre in addition to the established Abbey and its purely Irish plays. Beginning in 1928 in the Peacock Theatre for two seasons, and then in the theatre of the eighteenth century Rotunda Buildings, the two founders, with Edwards as actor, producer and lighting expert, and MacLiammóir as star, costume and scenery designer, along with their supporting board of directors, gave Dublin, and other cities when touring, a long and eclectic list of plays. The Dublin Gate Theatre produced, with their imaginative and innovative style, over 400 different works from Sophocles, Shakespeare, Congreve, Chekhov, Ibsen, O’Neill, Wilde, Shaw, Yeats and many others. They also introduced plays from younger Irish playwrights such as Denis Johnston, Mary Manning, Maura Laverty, Brian Friel, Fr. Desmond Forristal and Micheál MacLiammóir himself. Until his death early in 1978, the year of the Gate’s 50th Anniversary, MacLiammóir wrote, as well as acted and designed for the Gate, plays, revues and three one-man shows, and translated and adapted those of other authors.

  • The Abbey Theatre Digital Archive: a Digitization Project with Dramatic Impact | John Cox
    Insights – 30(3), November 2017 The Abbey Theatre Digital Archive: a digitization project with dramatic impact | John Cox The Abbey Theatre Digital Archive: a digitization project with dramatic impact National University of Ireland Galway digitized the archive of the Abbey Theatre between 2012 and 2015. This was the largest theatre archive digitization project worldwide and it has had a major impact on the University and its Library. The scale of the digitization project presented a series of challenges, including fragile material, limited time, streamlined workflows, complex digital rights management and effective systems. The project was completed on time and on budget in 2015, using a ‘more product, less process’ approach. Access to the Abbey Theatre Digital Archive has delivered strong academic impact for the University, generating new research income and international connections as well as contributing to improved institutional ranking. The Digital Archive enables new types of research, including text and data mining, and has reshaped undergraduate curricula. It has also had a transformative effect on the Library as leader of the project. The role of the archivist has changed and partnerships with the academic community have strengthened. A growing emphasis on digital publication has been a catalyst for a function- rather than subject-based organizational structure which promotes participation in digital scholarship initiatives, with archives and special collections occupying a new position of prominence. Introduction Projects come and go but occasionally there is one that turns everything upside down. This is how it has been with the digitization of the Abbey Theatre archive at National University of Ireland (NUI) Galway.

Academic libraries have responded by accelerating their shift to digital collections and services, by supporting and participating in remote teaching and by offering new services. The article discusses the potential longer term consequences of the pandemic for academic libraries, including budgetary constraints, an impact on the shift to Open Access, changes in library design, and new work practices.
