DBS recently held the 2017 Library Seminar in Castle House. A number of talks took place throughout the day from guest speakers which included DBS staff and library staff from a number of different colleges. DBS Library's annual seminar is accredited by the Library Association of Ireland, with attendees obtaining a CPD certificate of attendance from the Library Association of Ireland on the day.
The event was a great success with many interesting topics discussed on the day, from Claire McGuiness and Colin O Keefe’s talk on ‘The Information Professionals Network: Creating new Employment Opportunities for Librarians’ to Andrew Preater’s ‘We Need Critique more than ever: Critical Librarianship as a Tool for Thought and Action’ and Brian Hickey’s ‘Big Data: Big Opportunities for Librarians’ to name but a few.
