Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 23 November 2010
287 Deputy Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government if his attention has been drawn to the fact that the eLibraries website (details supplied), which provides access to library catalogues from all local authorities in the State, labels County Cavan as County Monaghan on its map and vice versa and if he will ensure this error is corrected promptly. [44048/10]
View answerThe eLibraries website was set up some years ago as part of the Government's Information Society Action Plan, New Connections. The services provided by the website are now provided by the www.borrowbooks.ie website under the auspices of An Chomhairle Leabharlanna (ACL). The ACL website provides internet access to all local authority library catalogues and allows members to request inter-library loans from any library in the country. In view of the foregoing, my Department, in conjunction with the Local Government Management Agency, is reviewing the need for the eLibraries website. In the meantime, I will ensure that the reference in question is corrected.
