The Interpreter's Resource provides a comprehensive overview of interpreting at the start of the twenty first century. As well as explaining the different types of interpreting and their uses, it contains a number of Codes of Ethics, information on Community Interpreting around the world and detailed coverage of international organisations, which employ interpreters.

Mary Phelan lectures at the School of Applied Language and Intercultural Studies in Dublin City University, Ireland. She has developed courses in Spanish-English Consecutive and Simultaneous Interpreting on the Applied Language degree and was involved in setting up the Graduate Diploma/M.A. in Conference Interpreting which began in 1999. Her research interest is community interpreting, particularly court and medical interpreting.
