Abstract

The Internet has become an integral element of academic research and study. As information specialists are we really aware of how university students and academic staff perceive the information on the Internet and how they use it for research and study? This paper outlines the findings of an investigation undertaken at La Trobe University Library to gain critical information from users on their practice and success in locating relevant information from the Internet. Information gained was incorporated into the design of client-centred Internet training programs and modification of Library web pages.

Abstract

This paper focuses on the institutional repository work of the ARROW project, which has been developed within the following three stage framework:

  1. conceptualising and developing an ARROW institutional repository solution comprising software, policy frameworks and implementation strategies,
  2. implementing the ARROW repository within the project’s partner institutions, and
  3. offering the ARROW repository solution to other Australian universities.

The paper will look at the decisions the ARROW project made at the outset and provide a review of those decisions after two years of operation. It will also look forward at ARROW’s plans for 2006 and ongoing development work.
