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. ....
A key conclusion of the Conference was The task is too large for individual institutions to undertake in isolation and the resources required for successful and sustained archiving are too great to make duplication of effort a tenable position. Australia was an early implementer of web archiving. Since 1996 the National Library of Australia has been developing and maintaining PANDORA, an archive of selected, significant Australian web sites and web-based online publications6. The purpose of PANDORA is to ensure that Australians of the future will be able to access a significant component of today’s Australian web based information resources. Because of the high cost of selective web archiving, it makes sense for one agency (such as a national library) to develop both the expertise and the infrastructure for web archiving, and for other agencies to leverage off this investment. Accordingly, PANDORA is a collaborative activity, as the archive is being built by the Aust ....
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. ....
Guests: Uncle Dave Williams, Lee-Ann Buckskin, Professor Lisa Jackson-Pulver, Wesley Enoch, Katrina Sedgwick These pieces of information are useful for finding a known item, where the user is searching for a specific broadcast that they already know exists. For the user searching more broadly by subjects or keywords, like “Indigenous” or “World War One”, they’re not going to find this record. We need to capture more information, so that broader searches will find this record in Trove. Luckily the ABC has included a large number of tags for each segment. These tags aren’t viewable to an ordinary user with their web browser but include additional helpful information – subjects, a brief description of the segment and more – that facilitate better discovery. To create a record for Trove, we capture data from both the elements displayed to users and this hidden data from tags. ....
