Abstract

Libraries have always been creators or publishers of information. Digital technology, combined with library expertise in bibliographic control, distribution and access, provides new opportunities for libraries to create and publish material in support of teaching, learning and research. Monash University Library, as an early adopter of new technologies, has developed digital services to support more effective and creative learning and teaching. More recent initiatives are specifically intended to support research, and to work towards the transformation of scholarly communication. The word coined to capture the newly expanded role for higher-education libraries is digitorium, a play on scriptorium.

Abstract

This paper aims to provide an overview of developments to date in the evolution of the scholarly journal in terms of the transformation of the form and function of the artefacts of scholarly communication (journals and the articles they contain). The paper starts by first outlining three critical theoretical perspectives. It then proceeds to consider the transformations in the form and function of journals that are occurring or might occur. In each of these cases the insights from the relevant body of theory are drawn upon. The paper concludes by speculating on the future of the form and functions of the journal based on the discussion of theory and the literature.

Abstract

With an increasing societal move towards making research data public, the Australian National Data Service (ANDS) is releasing a number of services to assist with this. The subject of this paper is the service called “Publish My Data”. It is not a centralised monolithic system, but rather a set of flexible services providing some key functions that enable organisations and individuals to more formally publish their data using as much of their own infrastructure as appropriate.

Abstract

Repositories are evolving in response to a growing understanding of institutional and research community data and object management needs. This paper (building on work already published in DLib, September, 2007) explores how one institution has responded to the need to provide management solutions that accommodate different object types, uses and users. It introduces three key concepts. The first is the curation continuum, which identifies a number of characteristics of data objects and the repositories that contain them. The second divides the overall repository environment based on these characteristics into three domains (research, collaboration and public), each with associated repository/data store environments. The third is the curation boundary, which separates each of the three domain types.

Abstract

The ARROW Project is a DEST-funded consortial effort to develop and implement intuitional repository software, and has co-developed the VITAL software with VTLS Inc. The project team has been building a community of users of this software, through the use of existing free or open source products. This paper will discuss the specific objectives of building this community, the history of our use of the various available tools, an assessment of their effectiveness and their limitations, and how we plan to move forward.

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.

Abstract

This paper describes the process of developing an information management strategy for Monash University, presents an overview of the resulting strategy and describes the process of implementation that has been devised and is being followed. The strategy will be progressively implemented over the next 3-5 years as part of ongoing operational activity and new development projects. An internal communication plan for the strategy has been developed and will be rolled out in 2005/6. Implementing the strategy has already been accepted as one of the five key priorities for Monash University in 2006. A number of projects will also be funded in 2006 that directly flow from the work of the Information Management Steering Committee.
