Libraries and the Internet

    I have posted separately about my missing sister-in-law .

    Attracta is a retired librarian. Most, if not all libraries in the UK now have online access and the Library service in Northern Ireland have started a project to have her photo displayed in every library in Northern Ireland and possibly the UK mainland with a member of staff available to guide people onto the website about her disappearance

    We would like the same campaign to take place in the South, but we are struggling to find a central point of contact for this, or even to identify how many libraries even have Net access.

    Anyone any knowledge of this ? <snip> ...comments not justified... </snip>

    Try here Martin.

    There is pretty good connectivity in most Irish libraries (and there has been national funding for this I seem to remember).
    Perhaps the fact that libraries are a local authority responsibility makes it harder to acheive co-ordination but the association should be able to help....

    Thanks, vinny

    Someone else from a newsgroup has already pointed me to a portal site for libaries in Ireland , which is run by An Chomhairle Leabharlanna, the state agency for public libraries and library co-operation

    We're hoping to set something up through them as most libraries do indeed have Internet access...mind you, if anyone has a pesonal contact in there, it would be a great help.
