CIRCA have completed a project for the National Library of Ireland to review potential sources of external income for the library and advise on their suitability for the NLI in the future.  The project involved visits to many EU National and other libraries to investigate the fund-raising approaches used, and to assess the costs and returns involved, and the legal and infrastructural implications.  The sources investigated  include philanthropy, research, licensing of library content, retail operations,  venue hire and various services.  In addition, the CIRCA team of Tom McCarthy and Jim Ryan conducted a case study on the particular opportunities which might exist for commercialisation of the NLI’s genealogy collections.
