On behalf of COLICO An Chomhairle Leabharlanna has developed a Training Database for all Library Staff with information on Companies and the courses they provide. The database is updated regularly. It is purely an information service and we cannot validate any courses or provide details on the effectiveness of the various companies. The register was compiled following the circulation of a questionnaire to over three hundred libraries on the island of Ireland. All types of library are included in the database, special, public, college, government, and university.
