Music Australia: Building innovative partnerships for online access to music made, played and recorded in Australia

1 April 2008 - 12:00 This paper examines some of the strategies used by the National Library of Australia to build a collaborative music service on a national scale, and in particular the challenges faced in building online audio content.  It demonstrates the opportunities that a government-business partnership provides to break through some of the existing barriers in providing access to resources.  And it reflects upon the volatility in the music industry that creates ongoing challenges for archiving, resource discovery, online access to and delivery of musical sound.

Best described as an old-style travelling singer/poet, for the better part of the last 20 years, Archer has humped his bluey through every state in Australia, walking, hitchhiking, and catching trains, sleeping on the riverbanks and in the parks, singing in the streets, to performing in music halls of some renown.
