How did SLAINTE begin?
SLAINTE began life in 1995 as a means of publishing a directory Scottish library and information resources (SLIR) online. During 1997-1999, the service was hosted by Napier University in Edinburgh, and underwent significant expansion and development. The Scottish authors service was implemented, based on another SLA printed publication, Discovering Scottish writers, as well as a number of other services. In 2002, SLAINTE web pages were redesigned and a new search engine added. In 2007 SLAINTE was restructured using cascading style sheets and a google search added for web pages.
