Collaboration across the collecting sectors


This lecture examines opportunities for better collaboration between museums, archives and libraries. It will cover:
How improved collaboration (especially in discovery services and data exchange) can deliver significant benefits to collecting institutions users;
Some of the models and standards that support collaboration; and
The National Library s new discovery service, Trove, and how it will help improve collaboration.
Introduction
Today I will discuss the opportunities for collaboration among the different sectors that constitute Australia’s collecting institutions: in other words, collaboration among the GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums) sectors.
I have always believed that these sectors could do more than they have done to foster collaboration, where that will benefit our users. ....

Developing Trove; the policy and technical challenges


1 January 2009 - 12:00
In September 2008 the National Library of Australia embarked on a project to develop a powerful new discovery service to expose the wealth of information in Australian collections.  The new service, branded “Trove”, was released in December 2009 after six months as a beta service.  Trove is not only replacing eight legacy services, but is improving the discovery experience for the Australian public and researchers by including more content and by allowing users to engage with the content. This paper will describe the policy and technical challenges which were faced by the Library during this project, and will outline the Library’s plans for the further development of Trove. ....

Resource Description and Access


1 January 2009 - 12:00
Library catalogues today need to harness the full power of the metadata that librarians have carefully created over previous decades. For those who describe resources the challenge is to create metadata which meets users needs for data content and also facilitates machine manipulation of that data for searching and display. Resource Description and Access (RDA) will be an important building block in the creation of better catalogues and resource discovery systems. RDA is the new standard for description and access set to replace the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules (AACR) in 2009.
RDA focuses on the data elements needed to meet the user tasks specified in the FRBR (Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records) and FRAD (Functional Requirements for Authority Records) conceptual models. The use of FRBR concepts will allow the relationships between multiple versions of a resource to be presented to users in a meaningful way. ....

Relevance ranking of results from MARC-based catalogues: from guidelines to implementation exploiting structured metadata


1 February 2010 - 12:00
The development of new search technologies, and new search behaviours, has opened up new opportunities for libraries to expose their holdings. Our users are more used to searching large aggregations of items, and to being able to obtain rare and unusual items relatively easily. Library holdings, if exposed through centrally searchable union catalogues like Libraries Australia, could see a significant increase in usage in the new long tail environment. To take advantage of these opportunities, however, libraries need to provide tools to make resource discovery easier across large stores of records - including relevance ranking and clustering of search results. During 2006, the National Library has taken steps forward in harnessing these technologies for Libraries Australia. An explanation of the development of a set of rules for the relevance ranking of bibliographic records is given, and the work done to advance clustering of relevance ranking and oth ....
