Introduction
The pervasiveness of sophisticated mobile devices by our users has given rise to a movement towards mobile delivery of library services. Each week Australian libraries are enabling mobile modules in Library Management Systems. Some are adopting more advanced native apps that offer users browsability, web 2.0 features, digital library cards and other utility functions.
In 2011 the National Library of Australia released a mobile catalogue app and a mobile audio tour for the Treasures Gallery, hinting at our intention to engage in this area. These were stand-alone initiatives that gave rise to a planning project aimed at scoping the Library‟s strategic directions in relation to mobile service delivery.
CAUL and CSIRO Publishing collaborate to enable Open Access in Australia and New Zealand
March 4th, 2021
Many Australian and New Zealand researchers can now publish research articles as open access in CSIRO-owned journals through new transformative agreements between CSIRO Publishing and CAUL member institutions.
Globally, transformative agreements are being used as a way for the research community, academic libraries, and scholarly publishers to work together to find a financially viable and sustainable path to transition to an open access publishing model.
Early in 2020 representatives of the Council of Australian University Librarians (CAUL) met with CSIRO Publishing to explore how they might work together to accelerate the move towards Open Access in Australia.

An absence of attention paid to soft infrastructure isn’t just the case in Australia, it’s true globally.
When we think about infrastructure it’s most often about bridges or roads – or, as in this week’s federal government AU$1.9 billion National Research Infrastructure announcement, big science projects. These are large assets that can be seen and applied in a tangible way.
