Abstract
The use of controlled vocabularies increases the value of data resources by improving discovery, interoperability, and re-usability. The Australian National Data Service (ANDS), in partnership with members of Australian research organisations, is developing a user-driven vocabulary service to support Australian research groups, universities, and research libraries to find and use published vocabularies, as well as to create, manage, and publish new vocabularies. This paper follows the evolution of the development of the service. It provides a technical overview of the systems involved as well as a proposed model for support, outreach and responding to community need.

Abstract
The Open Archives Initiative (OAI) has gained momentum since eprints.org was released in 2000. An alternative to eprints.org is the recently released DSpace, the open source software developed at MIT. The paper will trace the history and development of DSpace initiatives, such as the joint project between MIT and University of Cambridge. It also discusses the impact and benefits of repositories for research institutions and libraries.

Abstract
The Stable Tasmanian Open Repository Service (STORS) is a joint State Library of Tasmania and Service Tasmania Online initiative that began operation in July 2003. STORS allows government and non-government publishers in Tasmania to contribute electronic publications and documents to a central repository where they are both immediately accessible and maintained for posterity. STORS provides a persistent URL for each document as well as ongoing file conversion, a file checksum, and links reflecting document versions or relationships. The major operational problems that have emerged relate to file conversion and the complexities inherent in composite HTML documents.

Abstract
As scholarship, instruction, publishing and communication become increasingly networked and digital, how libraries respond? Can libraries help scholars communicate in a networked era? What is the library’s role in an age of Web publishing and Google? Is preserving digital collections still part of their mission? Institutional repositories begin to address these questions and allow libraries to show initiative and leadership in a scholarly world being transformed by technology. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the USA with its DSpace institutional repository program has witnessed how much has changed, and continues to change, as libraries step up to these challenges.
