The Australian Newspaper Plan (ANPLAN)

25 November 2008 - 12:00
This paper was presented by Pam Gatenby at the IFLA International Newspaper Conference 2008 which was held at the National Library of Singapore.
Background to newspaper publishing in Australia
The history of newspapers in Australia reflects the history and development of the country, from its colonial origins to its current day membership of the global community. Australia’s history is short compared to most countries so it is not unreasonable for Australian libraries to aim to preserve a comprehensive record of newspaper publishing from the time of white settlement of the country to the current day. Early Australian newspapers are among the few remaining resources that provide contemporary accounts of how the colonies were governed and of key historic events that shaped the nation such as the first encounters with Indigenous Australians, land settlement and the discovery of gold. They reflect the concerns and circumstances of our ancestors and are heavily used in most Australian research libraries to support historic enquiry.

Trove and the world: cultural collections in a global environment - A presentation at ALIA Online 2015, 5 February 2015

In September last year, at the ALIA 2014 conference, I spoke about Trove at 5, and asked ‘are we there yet’, focusing on Trove’s audiences and the work still ahead to extend its reach to a full cross-section of the Australian community. Today I would like to focus on where ‘there’ is, by comparing Trove
to three other cultural aggregators, Europeana
Digital NZ
And Digital Public Library of America
These are the services with which Trove is sometimes compared and with which we have fairly close contact. I think of them as the aggregator siblings. All four aggregate metadata describing content from multiple contributors so that users can discover resources through a single portal, and developers can access resources through a single API platform. All are based on a common value of making it easier for the public to access, enjoy and use the collections of cultural institutions.
