VALA2004 Session 9 Klippel Paper 48.70 KB

Abstract

In July 2001 UNSW Library went to tender for new library systems. UNSW Library was looking for not just a traditional Integrated Library Management System, but a set of systems and tools that would enable the Library to best meet the needs and requirements it saw critical for the rapidly changing scholarly information environment of the 21st century. Sirius is the name given to this new tool, the ExLibris Metalib and SFX applications. This paper describes the philosophy, aims and implementation issues behind what the Library sees as the key tool/system in providing seamless integrated access to print and digital resources within a resource discovery and portal environment.

VALA2004 Session 9 Moloney Paper 265.31 KB

Abstract

Australians are avid seekers and consumers of information in a great variety of forms. The National Library is working with five public libraries to better understand the information resource needs of Australians. Information Australia is a twelve-month pilot providing a more integrated approach to information via a web portal for Australians. This paper outlines the development of the pilot portal, including policy and technical issues and future possibilities for a service available to all Australian libraries.

VALA2004 Session 13 Pearce Paper 35.73 KB

Abstract

Four years out, this paper revisits the theme of VALA2000 and looks at the extent to which integrated library management systems have been developed to operate as hybrid library systems by focussing on the National Library of Australia’s requirements in this area. A range of commercial portal products now extend (and may eventually replace) the OPAC. However, there is still a gap in the market place for workflow systems supporting the routine digitisation of collection material. In addition, library system vendors are only just beginning to provide the level of support needed by libraries that wish to build innovative web-based services based on the catalogue.

Abstract

For the past eighteen months, the eResearch Lab at the University of Queensland has been working with the Australian Literature community on the Aus-e-Lit project. Aus-e-Lit is a cross-disciplinary collaboration that is developing eResearch tools for scholars of Australian literature who are members of the AustLit consortium. The AustLit Web portal provides access to a comprehensive bibliographic and full-text collection that is considered the peak resource for scholars of Australian literary heritage. The portal also provides a mechanism for the dissemination and deployment of the eResearch services that we have developed and that are described in this paper. These include: text processing services, federated search services, annotation services, compound object authoring tools and advanced visualisation services.

Abstract

La Trobe University Library provides interlending and document delivery services to academic staff and postgraduate students located in campuses and research centres in the Melbourne metropolitan area and regional Victoria, as well as remote off campus students throughout Australia, and off shore students predominantly in China and Vietnam. In 2004, the Library implemented VDX software to manage all interlending and document delivery requests. ZPortal, the web based customer interface, provides request management and desktop delivery of documents. This paper describes the experience of developing online tutorials, in response to the need to provide a simple training solution for all end users in the use of this new system.
