NITL Launches Knowledge Base

(16 Aug 2011)

NITL is delighted to announce the launch of the Knowledge Base component of its website @ www.nitl.ie/Knowledge_Base_Database/Default.67.html

This Knowledge Base has been developed over recent months as part of the wider DIT respository known as ARROW@DIT (see www.arrow.dit.ie/). ARROW (Archiving Research Resources on the Web) is a digital collection of research publications produced by researchers at DIT. The term publication is used in the broadest sense as to encompass all forms of scholarly communication. Institutional Repositories (IRs) such as ARROW bring together all of a University's research under one umbrella, with an aim to preserve and provide access to that research. IRs are an excellent vehicle for working papers or copies of published articles and conference papers. Presentations, senior theses, and other works not published elsewhere can also be published in an IR.

The NITL collection comprises the publications of members of staff, categorised as:

Articles (in peer-reviewed journals);

  • Books/book chapters;
  • Conference papers;
  • Practitioner journal articles;
  • Reports;
  • Ph.D. theses; and
  • Other resources.

The latter category comprises selected presentations given by NITL staff at various events over the last decade.

Commenting on the launch of the Knowledge Base, Pamela O’Brien of NITL noted that the NITL online collection represents an invaluable resource for supply chain professionals in Ireland and further afield. “NITL has punched above its weight over the years in terms of its contribution to the advancement of logistics and SCM knowledge. Our Knowledge Base now provides easy access to much of the scholarly output of this research”.

NITL would like to thank DIT library staff, in particular Yvonne Desmond, for their support in establishing this resource.
