Trinity College Library Dublin
Author: Peter Fox
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1139952226
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 546
Book Description
This is the first comprehensive, scholarly history of Trinity College Library Dublin. It covers the whole 400 years of the Library's development, from its foundation by James Ussher in the seventeenth century to the electronic revolution of the twenty-first century. Particular attention is given to the buildings and to the politics involved in obtaining funding for them, as well as to the acquisition of the great treasures, such as the Book of Kells and the libraries of Ussher, Claudius Gilbert and Hendrik Fagel. An important aspect is the comprehensive coverage of legal deposit from the beginning of the nineteenth century, viewed for the first time from the Irish perspective. The book also draws parallels with the development of other libraries in Dublin and with those of the universities of Oxford and Cambridge, and features throughout the individuals who influenced the Library's development - librarians, politicians, readers, book collectors and book thieves.

The Law School of University College Dublin
Author: W. N. Osborough
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781846825422
Category : Law schools
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
The Law School of University College Dublin (UCD) has been a key center of legal education and research since its establishment as the Faculty of Law in 1909. The staff, students, and alumni of the school have contributed extensively to the political, economic, and cultural life of Ireland and beyond. In this book, Professor W.N. Osborough, a former Dean of Law at UCD, investigates the internal history of the school, ranging between its origins and survival as a distinct unit, staffing and educational programs, student and faculty life, the governance and decision making structures, its physical environment, the law library, and the relationship of the school to the university and the wider world. Focusing on the period up to the early 2000s, Professor Osborough enhances an understanding of the challenges of legal education and research, and how they have been overcome so as to sustain and develop the position of the law school as an internationally recognized center of excellence. The book includes biographies of prominent members of the law faculty alongside features on students of the school, including Kevin O'Higgins, John J. Webb, and Brian MacKenna in the early 20th century; Fernand E.J. Justice, Belgian diplomat and the first student to receive a PhD in the school of law; and future Chief Justices Thomas O'Higgins and Thomas Finlay.

Dublin City University 1980-2020
Author: Eoin Kinsella
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781846828089
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
Dublin City University has grown rapidly from its origins as the National Institute for Higher Education, Dublin, which admitted just 200 students when it first opened in 1980. NIHED emerged from a fundamental review of the third level sector during the 1960s and 1970s. The path to university status in 1989 was not smooth, requiring strong leadership, vision and significant philanthropic support during a time of economic crisis. DCU is one of Ireland's youngest universities, and over the past four decades has become one of the most successful young universities in the world. It has been widely recognized as an innovative institution, strongly engaged in local, national and international communities and networks. Today the university has more than 17,000 students across three campuses in the north of the city, integrating four formerly independent colleges. This book relates the major achievements and many challenges in the forty years of DCU's growth, examining key policy and strategy decisions, the contributions of leading personalities, and the collective experiences of staff and students.
