Department of Library and Information Studies (DepLIS) UCD
25th Anniversary Celebrations
Preliminary Notice
The Department of Library and Information Studies will celebrate the 25th
anniversary of its establishment as a separate academic department on Friday
11th October 2002.
A day of celebrations will take place in Belfield, with three main
components:
· A conference on research in library and information studies in Ireland
(9:30 a.m. – 5 p.m.)
· A ceremony of thanksgiving and remembrance for the lives and careers of
all Library and Information Studies graduates of UCD (5:30 p.m. – 6:30
p.m.)
· A reception and party in the Conservatory of the O'Reilly Hall (7 p.m. –
10 p.m.)
All graduates of the Department and other members of the library or
information professions in Ireland are invited to attend some or all of
these events. Former students of any year since the establishment of the
Diploma in Library Training in the 1920s are particularly welcome. While we
hope to be able to facilitate everyone who wishes to attend, there are
constraints on space and places will be allocated in order of receipt of
completed registration forms and payment.
We would be very grateful if you would assist us in contacting as many
graduates of the Library School as possible by passing on these details to
any class-mates or other former students who may not receive this
notification directly. We would also welcome offers to contribute to the
ceremony of thanksgiving and remembrance and suggestions for suitable
readings and music.
Further details of all three events are available from Noreen Hayes or Jean
Henefer or Mary Burke in the Department of Library and Information Studies,
UCD, Belfield, Dublin 4. Tel. (01) 716 7055; Fax (01) 716 1161; Email
