VALA2008 Session 9 Jenks Podcast 8 MB
Abstract
AUT University Library is a member of LCoNZ, the Library Consortia of New Zealand which collaborated to install the Voyager system. Part of this collaborative activity included the installation of a federated searching service. The paper explores what happens when a library introduces a discovery tool, and then has to withdraw the service. The full text downloads statistics show the outcome of searches made using the EnCompass commercial federated searching service, Google Scholar and then return to a commercial federated searching service, 360 Search. The paper will detail further changes planned to ensure a successful transition into the Web 2.0 environment.

Abstract
The Universal Digital Library epitomises international collaboration with partners from USA, China, Egypt and Australia spanning academia, Government and religious institutions as stakeholders. Nearly 600,000 books have been scanned so far and most of them are available for free browsing.
Discuss the Indian Language Technology Research that was stimulated by the vast information base made available by the UDL project. The efforts to connect the users to content using mobile vans, Internet based dissemination and the personalised Digital collections are compared. The talk concludes with the discussion on the issue of copyright and presents a novel idea of a “Consortium for Compensating for Creating Contents” – the FourCs.

Abstract
By taking a consortial approach to the purchase of a new library management system, five Auckland libraries were able to pool the experience and knowledge of their staff, stretch their budgets and end up with a solution that none of them could have arrived at alone. The learnings from this joint venture have been far reaching in the libraries and their councils, and the project is fast becoming a benchmark for local body collaboration in New Zealand.
