Abstract

A recent survey has examined the current position of slide libraries in Ireland, with particular regard to cataloguing, organisation, staffing, funding, facilities, training and computerisation. Despite the existence of a number of substantial slide collections, little training is available for slide librarians; the Association of Visual Arts in Ireland (AVAIL) plans to study possible solutions to this problem as part of a planned series of professional development seminars to be held over the next eighteen months.
