Abstract

An opportunity to completely automate data contribution to the Australian National Bibliographic Database (ANBD) emerged in late 2019 by extending Trove’s existing use of the Open Archive Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH) to ANBD MARC records. Trove Collaborative Services and Vendors collaborated in developing OAI-PMH Daily Update modules, which could be deployed to their partner libraries. Eighteen months later these benefits are being realised with a ‘set and forget’ automated update to the ANBD resulting in less time, less effort and more current data for everyone involved.

Biography

Cameron Atkinson has been working in libraries for twelve years. For the past four he has been lucky enough to work in Trove. Using COVID as an excuse he has spent the past two years finding workflows where everyone social distances, and no one has to touch records.

Abstract

For a decade Trove has been a place to find, marvel at and engage with the many perspectives and stories that are represented in Australia’s collective heritage. Collaboration is fundamental to this success. Organisations nominate and support the digitisation of content important to their communities, which in turn increases usage. This paper examines both the business and technical aspects of the digitisation process. It also explores recent improvements to the process for both Partners and Trove users. These include a new self-service Partner dashboard for better metrics, enhanced search capabilities and improved opportunities for community engagement

This paper provides an introduction to the National edeposit service (NED), launched in August 2019 as a world-first collaboration between the national, state and territory libraries of Australia. As a national online service for depositing, preserving and accessing Australian electronic publications, with benefits to publishers, libraries and the public alike, NED has transformed our approach to legal deposit in Australia.

Abstract

Trove’s success is underpinned by the availability of a significant quantity of digitised material achieved through partnerships between the National Library of Australia (NLA) and many other organisations. The National Library is using the lessons learned through earlier digitisation collaborations, as well as a history of content aggregation, and has now turned its attention to journals. Existing processes for digitisation project management and online discovery have been expanded, with new delivery and browse features introduced to facilitate new ways of navigating content. The result has been rapidly growing usage and the engagement of new communities.

Abstract

The ISO Interlibrary Loans Protocol (ISO 10160/10161) is increasingly being adopted by ILMS vendors, who are either developing modules to manage interlibrary loans traffic or incorporating existing systems developed by other vendors to enhance the overall functionality of their product. This paper will provide an overview of the protocol and its importance in supporting peer to peer interlibrary loan/document delivery activities. It will also review the level of protocol compliance of a number of ILL systems implemented, or available, in Australia. When choosing an ILL management system libraries must consider a range of issues, including: volume of transactions, borrowing and lending patterns, the level of automation of ILL partners, internal workflow, and service standards. The paper will consider the importance of these issues in the selection of an ILL system, and the need for, and level of ISO compliance of the system. The role of related standards such as Z39.50, NISO Circulation Interchange Protocol, and ISO2146 the international standard for library directories, will be considered.

Abstract

Using social media is now business as usual for the National Library of Australia and Trove. The Trove team believes that it is engaging people in these spaces, people who know and love Trove and those who have never heard of it. The team believes it is promoting the use of Trove. But is this true? Do people really click through to those links? Do people find Trove and keep coming back? Understanding what the team at Trove wants to achieve in social media is crucial to assessing its value. Is impact in the numbers, the individual stories of lives changed, or is it an interweaving of both?

Abstract

The National Library of Australia has actively used a range of social media tools for the promotion, development and delivery of services for a number of years. In addition to whole-of-library branded activity that is managed centrally, teams elsewhere in the Library are creating niche and service-based social media channels. Using the 2011 trial of the Trove social media rollout as a case study, this paper examines the rewards and challenges associated with niche or specialised social media engagement, as well as the broader, potential implications for online engagement by cultural institutions.
