Dublin City Public Libraries and Archive organises and hosts a range of talks and other events, some of which are recorded and made available online. A recording may consist of audio alone or, in some instances, be accompanied by a presentation given at the live event.

How to Access

Recordings can be accessed by the following means:

• Via the Netvibes-based Library Web Portal, which also serves as the default page on public-access PCs in our branch libraries. Quick and easy access here to (a) literary talks, readings and workshops, (b) history and heritage talks (including our acclaimed Gilbert lecture series from recent years), and (c) Culture Night readings from 2008 and 2009.

• History and heritage talks (including our acclaimed Gilbert lecture series from recent years), with 'about' information, on our sister site, dublinheritage.ie

•  On the Library Blog, where a range of stories containing recordings can be found, all easily so as they are tagged with the word "podcasts"! 

About the Recordings

Recordings are usually in mp3 audio format, and these can either be listened to online using the provided player or downloaded for listening to on a mobile device.

Some recordings, you will discover, are accompanied by a presentation, and these 'slidecasts' (as they are known) can be followed merely by hitting the play button!

And then too we have video recordings, which are uploaded to either our YouTube page or Vimeo page and then embedded in the locations already listed above and elsewhere.
