The Bar Library is the private library service for all Barristers in Northern Ireland. The Library provides its members with state of the art legal information and information technology together with accommodation and office support services.

Following re-location to impressive state of the art facilities at 91 Chichester Street in Belfast, the Bar Library recognised the need to commission a new online application that would reflect their offline presence and communicate with the general public, members and other professional bodies.

Tibus was brought on board to analyse their communication needs and to advise the Bar Library on how best to address these different target audiences under the one online umbrella.

• Design, development and delivery of a public website providing general information about the role of the Bar Library, the Barrister's profession and the facilities available at the Bar Library.
• A password protected area offering information and functionality to barristers, staff, solicitors and other professional bodies who interact with the Bar Library.
• Integration with offline booking system, providing real-time information on availability.
• Full content management capabilities using the HandsOn system.

• A professional website with improved transparency between the general public and the barrister's profession.
• Fostering of an online community for Barristers and facilitating the sharing of information and knowledge amongst members and staff.
• Improved communication between Barristers, Solicitors and other professional clients.
