Abstract

This paper, based on a research visit to the United Kingdom in 1999, discusses the electronic progress being achieved by some major British cultural institutions, particularly in comparison to digitization progress which has been made by Australia’s first prime ministerial library. It examines digitization of difficult collection areas such as multimedia and the desirability of upscaling digital projects.

Abstract

Archiving for permanent retention is facing some major challenges as we move into the next millennium. These include issues relating to selection from a burgeoning mass of information being produced in a wide range of formats; issues relating to media longevity and equipment obsolescence; migrating information across formats; the commercialisation of activities; the growing impact of IT requirements and the complexity of copyright and other rights in digital materials.

Abstract

Since 1995 the La Trobe University Library has been building upon the infrastructure and experience provided by a National Priority (Reserve) Fund Grant for the Library Image Database Project. Quite independently Dr. Richard Cosgrove, La Trobe University Department of Archaeology, gained a 1996 C.A.U.T. grant to develop a text and CD-ROM for teaching skills in faunal analysis. This paper discusses the intentions and outcomes of these projects and how advances have been achieved as a collaborative approach has developed into a working model for building multimedia Web resources for research and learning.
