IASLI Through the Years

While we're on such an IASLI nostalgia trip today, lets have a look at this - it's a little movie I made to play as a screen saver at the 2007 AGM.

Awwwww! There were some good times.

IASLI Member Survey -

IASLI undertook some member research in 2007 around its members' hopes and ideas around working relationships with agencies and / or self-employment. Here's a copy of that report.

IASLI Leaflets on Interpreting

Further to yesterday's post, here are a stock of leaflets that IASLI were using previous to their closure in relation to interpreting.

The leaflets are, I feel, a great testament to the various individuals and committees that worked on them - and the information is as relevant today as it was then.

Again the files are hosted on Box.net so you will see a screen first. PLease note some of the files were still in draft format. All are in PDF format.

IASLI News - Past Issues

In December of 2007, the Irish Association of Sign Language Interpreters closed after being around for over fifteen years in various shapes and forms. For the last 5 years, IASLI had a newsletter, IASLI News (imaginative title I know) produced quarterly. it was edited by myself and Catherine White, an ex-IASLI Chairperson and all round fantastic person.

I think it's a shame that the newsletter couldn't continue, and an even bigger shame that the contributions of the various people to it could be lost. So I have decided to share them. Here are all the past issues of IASLI News that I have - good reading to get a backdrop on the Irish interpreting situation.

The past issues are hosted at box.com so you'll see a screen first that you can click a link to the right issue in PDF format. I don't have all of them but as I add them I'll update this entry.
