The fourth SLIP Ireland annual student conference is getting closer – only three days to go! We would like to thank our sponsor, the Dublin Business School Library. It’s thanks to the kind generosity of DBS library that we are able to keep the SLIP Ireland conference going and free for attendees.
A very special thank you to Marie O’Neill.
You can keep up to date with what’s going on in DBS Library here, follow the Library @DBSLibraryTwits and follow the @DBSLibraryMSc while you’re at it.
The fourth SLIP Ireland annual student conference is now only three days away and we would like to thank our silver sponsor, the School of Information and Communication Studies, UCD. Both Clare and Helena are graduates of ICS (then known as SILS) and have had such wonderful support from all there ever since.
A special thank you to Kalpana Shankar, Claire McGuinness, Claire Nolan & Lisa Gaffney.
You can visit the school website here and follow them on Twitter @UCD_iSchool.
Thank you to our new sponsor, UCD Students’ Union! Both Helena and Clare are graduates of UCD and many of our speakers and attendees over the past four years have been UCD students. We are delighted to bring them on board as our sponsor this year.
Special thanks to Education Officer Stephen Crosby.
Tickets are still available on Eventbrite (they’re free!)

The call for papers for our 4th Annual Student Conference is now open! Our theme this year is “The Information Professional as Author” and, as always, we are open to a broad interpretation. You are free to consider any type of writing or publishing an information professional / librarian / archivist may be a part of. From an academic researcher, to a practitioner writing a project report. You could consider grant proposals or social media authorship, or authorship in different formats such as audio, video as well as the written word. Presentations can be about a project you have completed or are currently working on or can be academic in nature.
All presentations will be 10 minute lightning presentations. You are free to choose the style of your presentation, you may use Powerpoint, Keynote, PDF or Prezi.
Submissions are now open for current students and graduates of the last three years from any library qualification (UCD, DBS, Ulster University, distance learning). Submissions are also welcome from students and graduates of Archival Studies, Archives and Records Management and Digital Humanities.
If you have any questions, comments or concerns about the conference just send an email to conference@slipireland.com and we’ll be happy to help you.
Good luck, we can’t wait to see what you have got for us this year!
