Libraries: inspiring entrepreneurship”
LIT Library Services join forces with Network Ireland to launch Library Ireland Week in the Limerick Region
LIT Library Services is delighted to announce its partnership with Network Ireland for the launch of the 2009 Library Ireland Week in the Limerick Region.The launch will take place at the LIT Millennium Theatre at 3:00 p.m. Monday, 2nd March, 2009 with the help of Ms. Dorothy Quinn, President of Network Limerick.
The theme of this year’s Library Ireland Week is “Libraries: inspiring entrepreneurship” and because the week coincides with International Women’s Day, LIT is taking the opportunity to celebrate women in business and entrepreneurship and the role Librarians can play in inspiring these entrepreneurs.
Jerald Cavanagh, Institute Librarian at LIT says “The role of the Librarian has never been so important than in these challenging economic times. What we need now is inspiring ideas and vision and Libraries and Librarians have the knowledge and expertise to instil vital research skills and guide potential entrepreneurs through the substantial information resources provided by Libraries and the enormous information resource that is the Internet."
Library Ireland Week 2009 takes place from the 2nd to the 9th of March 2009 in libraries all over Ireland and is a national celebration of the work of Librarians and Libraries in Ireland highlighting their work by holding events, drawing attention to the issues Librarians and Libraries face and celebrating their achievements.
Dorothy Quinn, President of Network Limerick – an organisation for women in business, the professions and the arts - said the role of libraries for personal and professional use is invaluable: "I have used libraries myself for the purposes of researching my masters thesis and continue to use libraries today. Network Limerick encourages its members to use libraries and realises their vital role in inspiring entrepreneurship."
Library Ireland Week in the Limerick Region is a joint initiative of Libraries from University of Limerick, Limerick Institute of Technology, Limerick City Library, Limerick County Library and Mary Immaculate College.
