National Library of Ireland - Main Reading Room (quick look)...
The Main Reading Room of the National Library of Ireland on Kildare Street in Dublin, Ireland.
It's not just a pretty ceiling - the collection of manuscripts, documents, books and microfilm is vast and freely available. Staff are also unbelievably professional, courteous, and friendly. If only more Irish institutions kicked ass like these guys. And no, I don't work for them...
Around the Table at the National Library of Ireland
In March 2017, we held an event of stories, reminiscences and recipes that reflected on the food history of the area in the National Library of Ireland. It included reflections by the community groups involved in the Around the Table project led by Dublin’s Culture Connects and the artists Donal Fallon, Jennie Moran and Jeanette Lowe.
Around the Table has explored the central place of food in connecting communities to memory, culture, and place and to each other.

The National Library of Ireland: Building and Promoting the Irish Web Archive, by Maria Ryan (National Library of Ireland)
------------------
The National Library of Ireland (NLI) has been thematically archiving the Irish web since 2011. By creating the web archive, we are ensuring the preservation of a record of the online life of Ireland. This case study will examine the NLI’s efforts to engage with the general public and promote this new and innovative collection.
In 2016, we undertook our largest project to date. “Remembering 1916, Recording 2016” focused on recording the online repersentation of both the events of 1916, including the Easter Rising and the Battle of the Somme, and the commemorations of 2016.
A specific aim of the project was to further engage with our users and the general public. We have increased awareness of the NLI’s web archive by launching a social media campaign across Twitter, Facebook and our blog. As a result, we have seen an increase in the numbers of people using our web archive collections.
We collaborated with our colleagues in galleries, museums,libraries and archives nationwide and also academics from different disciplines. They suggested websites that should be included in the web archive.
This case study will also examine the process and outcomes of our community collecting programme. This programme is encouraging the general public to submit suggestions as to what website they felt best remember the events of 1916 and what website reflected life in Ireland in 2016. A selection of these websites will be preserved and made available in the NLI’s web archive.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
