===National Collection of Northern Ireland Publications=== | |||
NIPR (formerly known as the Northern Ireland Publications Resource) is Northern Ireland’s '''National Collection of Northern Ireland Publications''', a systematic collection and catalogue of all books, journals, pamphlets and reports published in Northern Ireland. As Northern Ireland has no National Library, no local institution is legally responsible for collecting all material published in Northern Ireland. Prior to the creation of NIPR, there was no reliable way of finding out what was published in Northern Ireland, who was collecting it, and where it was held. | |||
<br> | |||
With funding from the British Library, the Library and Information Services Council for Northern Ireland set out to redress the situation and officially launched the Northern Ireland Publications Resource (NIPR) in October 2000. The aim of the project was to collect every book, pamphlet, journal and periodical published in Northern Ireland since January 2000, preserving them for posterity and make them available for consultation by the general public. After a successful initial two-year pilot scheme, further funding was provided by the Northern Ireland Executive to continue the scheme. | |||
