Abstract

In late 2018, JSTOR and the South Asia Open Archive (SAOA) began a collaboration to bring to light rare and unique materials from and about South Asia as an open access collection on the JSTOR platform. The SAOA collection was formally launched in October 2019 and in its first sixty days on the JSTOR platform, has had nearly 10,000 visitors from over 2,000 institutions in 134 countries. This paper discusses the discovery and research impacts that are being evaluated by connecting primary source materials with the secondary literature (journals and books) on the same platform and by getting this important scholarly content “in the flow” of researchers and out of its silos.

Abstract

The disruptive influence of digital information management for cultural heritage has been expressed in many spheres, especially in the realm of information sharing and data collection volumes. Although these disruptions have had enormous advantages for enhancing research, curation and accountability; they have been accompanied by associated challenges for storage, usability and appropriate access. This paper examines some of the ways in which different organisations within Australia and around the world are currently approaching these challenges and investigates the Heurist knowledge management system as a cloud-based tool for the management of all aspects of cultural heritage data.

Abstract

This session will discuss the changing nature of library services and scholarly research in the networked world. Our affiliated group of not-for-profit digital initiatives – JSTOR, ARTstor, Portico, and Aluka – has a unique perspective on this shifting environment. There is ongoing discussion about the evolving Web (or Web 2.0): the migration of the Internet from a platform to a service; the network effect that encourages (and values) contributions and collaborations; and a shift in software and services to a participatory model. This evolution is changing libraries, publishing, and scholarship. In particular, it is fundamentally changing the paradigm of scholarly communication, and this presentation will examine this change.
