La alfabetización informacional desde una perspectiva global: el desastre agudiza nuestras mentes
Byrne, Alex
CE. Literacy.
Information literacy is crucially important for all people as has been dramatically demonstrated in times of disaster as well as in more normal times. Its many dimensions have been much discussed in the library and information literature and have been defined in standards in a number of countries. Putting those concepts into practice presents a logistical and resource challenge, a challenge to which we much rise if we are to support a fairer and more empowered global information society.

Peer review : the HEP view
Draper, Mick
L. Information technology and library technology
H. Information sources, supports, channels.
HEP experiments are now done by large collaborations (e.g. ATLAS and CMS with almost 2000 physicists from 60 countries). Inside such collaborations there is an internal review before any paper gets sent for publication (done by a small group of between 5-10). Paper, in its almost final form, is then sent to the whole collaboration for review. For CERN experiments, a referee – external to the collaboration – validates the paper from a scientific and editorial point of view. This review process involves so many people that there is little ‘added value’ given by publishers’ peer review.

Las siete caras de la alfabetización en información en la enseñanza superior
Bruce, Christine Susan
CE. Literacy.
Information literacy is usually described as the ability to locate, manage and use information effectively for a range of purposes. As such it is an important ‘generic skill' which allows people to engage in effective decision-making, problem solving a nd research. It also enables them to take responsibility for their own continued learning in areas of personal or professional interest. Whilst there is growing advocacy for information literacy in higher education, comparatively little in known about how it is experienced by those who use information. The various faces of information literacy described here are drawn from the experienc e of higher educators in two Australian universities. They provide a picture of information literacy that is very different from the lists of skills and attributes that are usually found in literature on the subject. As a phenomenon, information literacy includes the full range of experience, and students need to be enabled to experience information literacy in these ways. They also need to reflect on the variations in experience which they encounter and understand which forms of information literacy are relevant to different situations. Learning to be information literate could be seen as coming to experience using information in these ways.

El marco para la alfabetización informacional en Australia y Nueva Zelanda : principios, normas y práctica
Bundy, Alan
CE. Literacy.
This second edition of the 2001 Information literacy standards is entitled the Australian and New Zealand information literacy framework: principles, standards and practice to reflect the ways academics and librarians have used the first edition. It incorporates changes developed at a workshop in Sydney in January 2003. Prior to the workshop, input was received from university, technical and further education and other librarians from around Australia and New Zealand. More than fifty academics and librarians who had used the first edition contributed their experience. Two small groups worked on each standard, and the ideas developed were peer reviewed by a third group. A steering group evaluated this material, and a representative panel from the workshop reviewed the penultimate version. This edition is thus consistent with the first edition, but benefits from input based on experience in use, and peer review. Given the care with which the standards have been revised, there can be increased confidence in their use, especially in the tertiary education sector.

Normas sobre alfabetización en información. 1ª edición
Council of Australian University Librarians, *
CE. Literacy.
The first edition of these standards derives from the US Information literacy standards for higher education approved by the Association of College and Research Libraries in January 2000, and subsequently endorsed by the American Association for Higher Education and US accreditation bodies.
The US standards were reviewed at a national workshop initiated and conducted 22-23 September 2000 by the University of South Australia for the Council of Australian University Librarians (CAUL). The 62 participants were representative of Australian and New Zealand universities, the schools sector, the Technical and Further Education sector, the Council of Australian State Libraries and the Australian Library and Information Association. In reviewing the standards, consideration was given to the implications of Australian research, theory elaboration and practice which may not have been available or accessed when the US standards were developed. The relational model of information literacy1 was considered in this context.
Permission to use and vary the US standards2 has been granted by the Association of College and Research Libraries. The major difference between the US and Australian versions is the addition of two standards. The new standard four addresses the ability to control and manipulate information. Standard seven represents information literacy as the intellectual framework which provides the potential for lifelong learning.
At its Canberra meeting 27-28 October 2000 the Council of Australian University Librarians approved the revision of the US standards as Information literacy standards. The intended primary application is to higher education, but they may be applied to other educational sectors.
Endorsement and promulgation of the standards by policy makers, educational institutions, professional and educational associations is encouraged. They may be freely used and adapted for a specific context, subject to acknowledgment of their US and Australian provenance. Information literacy standards is a ‘living’ document. It will alter to reflect the prevailing information and education environment. Suggestions for changes for the 2003 second edition are invited, using the form at the end of this publication.

Zero Censorship! Who Are We Kidding?An exploratory analysis of the opinions and experiences of Queensland-based public librarians with regard to the censorship of materials in public library collections
Moody, Kim
EE. Intellectual freedom.
EF. Censorship.
Public librarians have long upheld the social justice philosophy of free access to information for all people. The issue of censorship is related to both the professional principles of the Australian Library and Information Association and to the role public librarians have to play in nurturing social capital in our communities. Until now there has been little Australian data on this topic. This paper considers the philosophy of free access to information in the context of contemporary item selection and classification processes within public libraries. The findings of a survey of Queensland public librarians are used to identify current industry attitudes towards the public right to information, and to determine the degree to which censorship mechanisms are currently practiced or prevented in public libraries. The findings support those of overseas researchers that stated anti-censorship attitudes are not always indicative of censorship behaviours, and that some librarians employ self-censorship with regard to controversial materials in order to avoid censorship challenges.

Enabling the information commons
Bradley, Fiona
ED. Intellectual property: author's rights, ownership, copyright, copyleft, open access.
BD. Information society.
As more libraries embrace the term 'information commons' to name services and symbolise their mission, this paper explores the meaning of the concept in Australia and the US. The public library as we know it was founded on principles of providing free access to all. This is now threatened by the growth of information as commodity, and has led many to question the controls and costs of information in society. This paper examines threats that emerge from commercialisation, legislation, funding, and the changing role of libraries. The responses to these threats by libraries, individuals and organisations are detailed. Projects and alternative models that aim to protect the information commons are discussed. This paper asks if libraries should be political about this issue, and what the consequences of such action may be on funding, intellectual freedom, trust and communities.
What steps can librarians take to ensure access to information for all individuals in the future? Do the information commons represent a new direction for librarianship, or a renewed emphasis on traditional values?

The development of virtual libraries in Commonwealth Libraries in Australia
Magnussen, Amanda
L. Information technology and library technology
This research examines the development of virtual libraries in Commonwealth libraries in Australia in 1998-1999. The background to the study lies in some of the current issues in the information sector, and government responses to those issues. The study begins by considering the nature of the Australian Commonwealth Government, reviewing what government libraries are and whom they serve, and examining the future trends expected to affect Commonwealth libraries. The current state of virtual library research is then reviewed, and the need for research in the Commonwealth library sector examined. The author reviews the virtual library concept as expressed in the literature in the field, determines what a virtual library is, and gives consideration to why virtual libraries are being developed. The issues that affect and are affected by virtual library development are then examined. Based on this, a model of virtual libraries is formulated, along with a brief consideration of the possible application, importance and problems associated with each element of the model. The research design and methods that were used to gather information for this study are then outlined, along with the inherent limitations of the research model. Following this, the findings from a survey of virtual library development in Commonwealth libraries are discussed. The author then conducts some analysis of these responses, and makes comparisons between different Commonwealth library responses, as well as comparisons with virtual library studies conducted in American and Australian academic libraries. The research concludes by attempting to reach some conclusions about Commonwealth virtual library development and the validity of the proposed model of virtual libraries. Flowing from this, recommendations are made for further research in this field.

Intellectual structure and subject themes in information systems research : a journal cocitation study
Marion, Linda S.
Wilson, Concepción S.

IB. Content analysis (A and I, class.)
BB. Bibliometric methods
AA. Library and information science as a field.
Information Systems (IS) is a discipline in which research and practice are closely intertwined. IS is also closely related to and overlapping several other disciplines, including Information Science. Thus, IS provides an excellent case for examining the interplay of research and practice in a rapidly changing discipline. We explore the intellectual structure and subject themes in Information Systems (IS) research for 1990 to 1999 through the identification and analysis of the field's core journal literature. A core journal list of 100 titles was created and examined with journal cocitation analysis (JSA). JSA demonstrates that IS is a coherent discipline with research ranging from technology-oriented software and hardware to the application of IS in business and organizations. Journals are grouped into seven subject clusters: computer science, computer networking, computer engineering, information science, software engineering, human-computer
interaction, and management information systems. Information Science journals occupy a bridging position between technically oriented and application-focused clusters. ASIST publications, JASIST, ARIST, and PASIS, figure prominently in the Information Science cluster.

Beyond ‘Needy’ Individuals: Conceptualizing Information Behavior
Olsson, Michael
BA. Use and impact of information.
CB. User studies.
Understanding information users and their behavior is a question of central importance for information
research and practice. The paper challenges several aspects of existing approaches to understanding information behavior, including: the focus on individual cognition at the expense of social and affective factors; the construction of information users as defined by their areas of ignorance and uncertainty, rather than their expertise; and the focus on purposive rather than non-purposive information behavior. It argues that only by addressing these weaknesses and developing new research strategies and theoretical frameworks which focus attention on the social processes and relationships which underpin users’ information behavior can we hope to develop a truly holistic understanding of the relationship between people and information. The paper uses the author’s study of information behavior researcher’s constructions of an author (Brenda Dervin) to illustrate how a social constructivist approach can both build on existing approaches to information behavior research and address some of their weaknesses. It argues that social constructivist approaches provide a theoretical lens through which information researchers can gain a clearer picture of information users not as ‘needy’ individuals to be ‘helped’, but as social beings, experts in their own life-worlds.

Covert censorship in libraries : a discussion paper
Moody, Kim
EF. Censorship.
IA. Cataloging, bibliographic control.
BG. Information dissemination and diffusion.
Librarians, through their professional associations, have long been committed to the social justice principle of free access to information. External censorship challenges to library collections threaten this principle overtly. However, censorship can also occur in libraries in various covert and often unconcious ways. This discussion paper raises concerns about current librarian practices and library processes which can effectively censor library collections from within. The paper concludes by highlighting specific areas of practice in which librarians need to be vigilant for such covert censorship.

Against intellectual property
Martin, Brian
ED. Intellectual property: author's rights, ownership, copyright, copyleft, open access.
EE. Intellectual freedom.
EF. Censorship.
B. Information use and sociology of information
There is a strong case for opposing intellectual property. Among other things, it often retards innovation and exploits Third World peoples. Most of the usual arguments for intellectual property do not hold up under scrutiny. In particular, the metaphor of the marketplace of ideas provides no justification for ownership of ideas. The alternative to intellectual property is that intellectual products not be owned, as in the case of everyday language.

A Methodological Study for Measuring the Diversity of Science
Schmidt, Marion
Glaser, Jochen
Havemann, Frank
Heinz, Michael
BB. Bibliometric methods
B. Information use and sociology of information
Inspired by the hypothesis that diversity of research might decline as a result of new science policy measures (e.g., evaluation-based funding), we seek to explore bibliometric methods to analyse the structure of research landscapes. The task is to make quantitative changes in the diversity of research landscapes measurable and therefore comparable in time series as well as between different countries

Collaboration and communication via wiki : The experience of Curtin University Library and Information Service
Wiebrands, Constance
LC. Internet, including WWW.
The idea behind the wiki, a website that can be created and edited by many different users, can sometimes be difficult to come to terms with. Unlike traditional content management and web authoring systems, the wiki is “egalitarian”, enabling all users to have access to its writing and publishing features. Within the organisational context, the wiki is emerging as one of the more flexible, dynamic and simple yet powerful online tools available for knowledge sharing and collaboration. Its version control and change tracking capabilities can also facilitate efficient record keeping and promote transparency.
This paper describes Curtin University Library’s experience of designing, developing and implementing a wiki for enhancing communication within and across teams, as well as for collaborating on cross-sectional projects. The challenges of training library staff in using this new technology are discussed. Some of the advantages and disadvantages of wiki technology, as experienced in an academic library environment, are also examined.

Data realities in plural contexts : appraisal of a definition [of social informatics]
Cole, Fletcher
IB. Content analysis (A and I, class.)
The meaning of "context" within the definition of social informatics (SI) is explored. The most general context of interest is formed by the relationship between the broad categories of the "technological" and the "social," as they are manifest in information and communication technologies (ICTs). Within and between these broad categories there are numerous distinct but inter-related contexts. Contextual complexity at a more detailed level is illustrated through close examination of the data-related references in a textual description of geographic information systems (GIS). A six-category taxonomy is used to highlight the complex cross-referencing between inter-related vocabularies that reflects the multiple contextual realities involved. They reveal themselves as open to multiple and continuing interpretation within different contexts at different levels of conceptualisation. Practical implications include suggestions that current generalist approaches to systems design may be too removed from the specifics of the task at hand, and that information professionals in their education and training need to be exposed to a wide range of perspectives, reflecting the various human contexts in which their technical expertise is likely to be deployed. What is desirable is a sophisticated appreciation of the many contexts in which ICTs function.

Spoilt for Choice : A comparison of two aggregations and the use of ScholarlyStats and Ulrichs serials analysis system
McMeekin, Jen
Sullivan, Shirley
BB. Bibliometric methods
The proliferation of online databases supplying aggregations of journal articles to support undergraduate courses means that academic library staff need to exercise care and maintain a watching brief on the performance of these databases. In 2006, the University of Melbourne Information Services decided to cancel one large aggregation database in favour of a competitor, after several years of monitoring coverage content and date ranges.
This paper will define the term aggregation as used in the paper and provide details of both aggregation packages before going on to discuss the rationale behind the evaluation and the procedures and tools used in the evaluation process (Ulrich’s Serials Analysis System (USAS) and ScholarlyStats (SS) from MPS Technologies).
In 2006, Jen became the University of Melbourne’s CAUL Datasets Co-ordinator. In this capacity, she established a working party to conduct the comparison of the databases. To ensure a representative sample of staff, liaison librarians and collection managers from a wide discipline range were included. There was a perceived need to provide value for money and ensure transparency of decision making and involvement of stakeholders from all relevant disciplines.
The first task was to provide spreadsheets to working party participants. These spreadsheets contained lists of full text titles unique to each package as well as lists of all full-text titles with coverage dates included. USAS was then used to provide subject analysis and to eliminate titles already held online through publisher packages or individual subscriptions.
After consultation with stakeholders, members of the working party returned with lists of titles identified as essential. Jen turned to SS for usage data for these essential titles. It was then possible to recommend purchase of individual title where usage data indicated the necessity, or to point out these titles deemed essential were in fact not used, or little used, during 2006.
The paper will close with the recommendation to continue this type of analysis regularly to ensure our collections reflect the needs of the users while providing financial managers with appropriate data to ensure accountability and value for money.

All Change : the Ever Evolving Institutional Repository
at the University of Melbourne
Fernando, Bernadine
Gibson, Daina
HS. Repositories.
Institutional repositories are becoming prevalent in academic libraries as the location for storing theses, research publications, learning objects and other grey literature.
This paper will provide brief background information on the history, the role and growth of open access Institutional Repositories and, in particular, will concentrate on the University of Melbourne's repository. The paper will touch upon the origin and changes that it has gone through and its links to the Australasian Digital Theses (ADT) Program.
It will also discuss issues for academic involvement, copyright, the Research Quality Framework (RQF) and the benefits of depositing, such as increased citation rates and linking with the University's Themis Enterprise Management tool.
In order to raise the profile and the citation rate of the Univerity of Melbourne's research community, the Vice-Chancellor has strongly encouraged researchers to deposit research output into the University of Melbourne ePrint Repository (UMER). This has resulted in new skills development and a change in workflows for institutional repository staff.
We shall mainly speak about the role of the members of the institutional repository staff, the workflow implications, and how workflow is managed day to day. To meet the University's priorities and timelines, flexibility and time management are essential.
We shall also discuss the interaction needed outside our own team, and the positive feedback and conversations with authors and colleagues.
As this is an ever evolving and fast moving field, the paper will reflect on where we are now; however, because of the impact of the RQF, the University of Melbourne's strategic plan, and the implementation of new repository software, changes are to be expected.

The Australian Newspapers Digitisation Program: Helping Communities access and explore their newspaper heritage
Holley, Rose
JG. Digitization.
The paper outlines the work achieved on the National Library of Australia’s newspaper digitisation program to date (http://www.nla.gov.au/ndp). It gives an overview of the processes, methods and technologies that are being utilised in the digitisation process and illustrates with screenshots the development of appropriate infrastructure and software to support the program. Software has been developed to support the workflow, content management and delivery of data. Systems infrastructure has been developed within the context of the Library’s strategic priorities, so that rapid and easy access to both the Library’s collections and other resources can be achieved in a single business model. The service also supports a key objective of the Australian Newspaper Plan (ANPLAN http://www.nla.gov.au/anplan/) “that communities should be able to explore their rich newspaper heritage”. This program will greatly improve access for all Australian’s to historical newspapers and will give users the ability to rapidly and easily search across the newspapers in a freely publicly accessible system.

Academic authors, scholarly publishing and open access in Australia
Kennan, Mary Anne
HS. Repositories.
BG. Information dissemination and diffusion.
This paper briefly describes the rapidly changing research evaluation and funding landscape in Australian universities, specifically in relation to open access and institutional repositories. Recent announcements indicate that funding and evaluation bodies are becoming increasingly concerned that publicly funded research be made publicly available. The paper then reports a survey of all levels of academic staff plus research students at one Australian university conducted in May 2006, prior to the introduction of an institutional repository. The survey, in line with previously reported surveys, found that while there was a high level of engagement with scholarly publishing, there was a low level of awareness of, or concern with, either open access (‘green’ or ‘gold’) or the roles repositories can play in increasing accessibility of research. Practically, this indicates that much work needs to be done within this university to increase knowledge of, and change behaviours with regard to, open access and repositories if the university and its academics are to make the most of new funding requirements and research evaluation processes.

Institutional repositories: review and an information
systems perspective
Kennan, Mary Anne
Wilson, Concepción S.
B. Information use and sociology of information
HS. Repositories.
Purpose: To review the current literature and discussion on institutional repository (IR) and open access (OA) issues, to provide examples from the Information Systems (IS) literature, and to propose the use of IS literature and further research to inform understanding of institutional repository implementations for library managers.
Methodology/Approach: Recent literature is reviewed to provide the background to, and current issues in, the development of institutional repositories to support open access to refereed research output.
Practical implications: Existing research is identified, as are areas for potential research.
Brief examples from IS literature are provided which may provide strategies for libraries and other organisations to speed up their implementation of IR to provide access to, and management of, their own institutions refereed research output.
Value of paper: The paper brings together recent opinion and research on IR and OA to provide librarians and other information managers with a review of the field, and proposes research on IR and OA building on existing IS as well as information management and librarianship research.

Reassembling scholarly publishing: Institutional repositories, open access, and the process of change
Kennan, Mary Anne

ED. Intellectual property: author's rights, ownership, copyright, copyleft, open access.
BZ. None of these, but in this section.
HS. Repositories.
The domain of scholarly publishing is undergoing rapid change. Change has been instigated and produced by the Internet and open access systems – such as disciplinary and institutional repositories and open access journals. However traditional scholarly publishing is strengthening its hold over prestigious journals thus resisting change. How then does the change come about? An attempt at answering this question led us to examine an institutional repository initiative in a University. As we identified and followed the actors (researchers, research papers, reward systems, institutional repository technology, library staff, RQF, etc.) we saw the emergence of new publishing practices and the forces preserving the old ones. By adopting Actor Network Theory (ANT) we came to understand the materiality, relationality and ambiguity of processes of reassembling scholarly publishing. This paper presents preliminary results and thereby informs a wider debate and shaping of open access and scholarly publishing.

Scholarly publishing is concerned with the distribution of scholarly information through journals and conferences and other information media. As such scholarly publishing can be understood as a specific part of the information industry. With the advent of advanced information technologies many possible technologically enabled futures have been posited for scholarly publishing. This paper describes the current systems, processes and actors. While technological advancements appear to be enabling access to scholarly publications, economic conditions appear to limit access. In addition, a number of alternatives, such as open access are currently in play and there is uncertainty regarding the future of the scholarly publishing system. The system appears to be in the process of being reassembled. Conceptual models of the traditional, the electronic, and some possibilities for future developments in scholarly publishing are proposed, as are topics for future research in the information systems domain.

La alfabetización informacional desde una perspectiva global : el desastre agudiza nuestras mentes
Byrne, Alex
BA. Use and impact of information.

BD. Information society.
Information literacy is crucially important for all peoples as has been dramatically demonstrated in times of disaster as well as in more normal times. Its many dimensions have been much discussed in the library and information literature and have been defined in standards in a number of countries. Putting those concepts into practice presents a logistical and resource challenge, a challenge to which we much rise if we are to support a fairer and more empowered global information society.

This study describes how search engines (SE) can be employed for automated, efficient data gathering for Webometric studies using predictable URLs. It then compares the usage of staffrelated Web Impact Factors (WIFs) to sizerelated impact factors for a ranking of Australian universities, showing that rankings based on staffrelated WIFs correlate much better with an established ranking from the Melbourne Institute than commonly used sizedependent WIFs. In fact sizedependent WIFs do not correlate with the Melbourne ranking at all. It also compares WIF data for Australian Universities provided by Smith (1999) for a longitudinal comparison of the WIF of Australian Universities over the last decade. It shows that sizedependent WIF values declined for most Australian universities over the last ten years, while staffdependent WIFs rose.

Fairy tales and Elggs: social networking with student rovers in learning commons

DD. Academic libraries.
AB. Information theory and library theory.
L. Information technology and library technology
The Learning (or Information) Commons concept has transformed and extended library services in universities worldwide and most university libraries have adopted aspects of the concept. At Victoria University (VU) the Commons has co-located related student services. Student Rovers are a key feature of the service offered. To build an online community of practice for the Rovers, VU experimented with open source social networking software. A central lesson is that, while web-based social networking is essential, the usability and reliability of any particular software is less important than the way in which such tools are used by participants. This paper will outline preliminary results of VU's evaluation of the pilot and dispel some of the myths and fairy tales around using social networking software in an educational context.

Current institutional repository software provides few tools to help metadata librarians understand and analyse their collections. In this paper we compare and contrast metadata analysis tools that were developed simultaneously, but independently, at two New Zealand institutions during a period of national investment in research repositories: the Metadata Analysis Tool (MAT) at The University of Waikato, and the Kiwi Research Information Service (KRIS) at the National Library of New Zealand. The tools have many similarities: they are convenient, online, on-demand services that harvest metadata using OAI-PMH, they were developed in response to feedback from repository administrators, and they both help pinpoint specific metadata errors as well as generating summary statistics. They also have significant differences: one is a dedicated tool while the other is part of a wider access tool; one gives a holistic view of the metadata while the other looks for specific problems; one seeks patterns in the data values while the other checks that those values conform to metadata standards. Both tools work in a complementary manner to existing web-based administration tools. We have observed that discovery and correction of metadata errors can be quickly achieved by switching web browser views from the analysis tool to the repository interface, and back. We summarise the findings from both tools’ deployment into a checklist of requirements for metadata analysis tools.

Writing for the profession: The experience of new professionals
Bradley, Fiona
GE. Staff.
The purpose of this article is to explore barriers and motivators for new professionals who write and present for the professional literature. Authors from the ALIA New Librarians’ Symposium held in December 2006 in Sydney, Australia were surveyed about their experiences of writing and presenting early in their career. The author of this paper was the symposium’s programme coordinator.
The majority of authors were working in Australia, and few were required to write or present as part of their work role. In the absence of this requirement, factors that motivate new professionals to write can be difficult to define. Barriers to writing include time, skills, and responsibilities outside work.

Exploring the roles of digitisation and microfilming in preserving Australian Newspapers for Permanent Access
Berthon, Hilary
HF. Microforms.
JG. Digitization.
HA. Periodicals, Newspapers.
Newspapers have always presented a challenge to those wishing to ensure their ongoing survival. Designed for impermanence, newspapers require active management if their content is to endure. For many years, Australian libraries have relied on copying newspapers to microfilm to ensure their long‐term survival. But with developments in digitisation and the associated possibilities for providing enhanced access, microfilm is now being challenged as the pre‐eminent preservation medium. Australian libraries are exploring the role digitisation might play in preserving access to newspapers and under what circumstnces a digital version might be preferred to a microfilm one. This article describes recent investigations from the Australian Newspapers Plan (ANPLAN).

IC. Index languages, processes and schemes.
The "User Tagging of Online Cultural Heritage Items‟ project was sponsored by the National Library of Australia. Users of online services now expect to be able to interact with and contribute to those services. Web 2.0 technology provides cultural institutions with the opportunity to display their digitised collections in popular online spaces and to encourage people to use their collection via their organisation website in new ways. Many cultural institutions both nationally and internationally are considering or have implemented some form of user tagging of online images. The value of this project is to draw from the work already underway in cultural institutions to assess the benefits of user tagging, the issues involved for cultural agencies in supporting user tagging and the viability of this approach for providing enhanced access to digitised ollections.

Web archiving in a web 2.0 world
Crook, Edgar
DB. National libraries.
JH. Digital preservation.
The National Library of Australia is the lead institution for digital archiving and preservation in Australia. Its PANDORA Archive has been the repository for archived web resources in Australia for over ten years and is a mature but continually developing system. The archival management system PANDAS that underpins the Archive, is as of 2007, in its third major revision. Other web archiving activities also now include annual Australian Domain Harvests and the usage of Archive-It, both of which are conducted in conjunction with the Internet Archive. This paper discusses the current state of web archiving in Australia, and how libraries are adapting their services in recognition of the expanding role that online material plays in their collections. For many years it was considered that archiving could only ever completely capture a small, albeit representative, sample of the Internet. Today the gap between what is available and what can be archived is decreasing. But as our archives and our archiving abilities increase, we are still confronted by new technologies and web 2.0 applications. Using as an example the 2007 Federal Election in which a large number of interactive sites such as Kevin07, MySpace and YouTube were archived the paper will show how Australian web archivers continue to adapt to and meet new challenges.

An overview of public collaborative OCR text correction in the 'Australian Newspapers' service. The service has been available for 6 months and is innovative in enabling the public to enhance and improve the raw OCR text of newspapers. This is the first library in the world to have considered this as a viable idea and implemented it. The issues and results surrounding this are discussed.

How good can it get? Analysing and improving OCR accuracy in large scale historic newspaper digitisation programs
Holley, Rose
LZ. None of these, but in this section.
JG. Digitization.
This article details the work undertaken by the National Library of Australia Newspaper Digitisation Program on identifying and testing solutions to improve OCR accuracy in large scale newspaper digitisation programs. In 2007 and 2008 several different solutions were identified, applied and tested on digitised material now available in the Australian Newspapers Digitisation Program beta service http://ndpbeta.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/home. This article gives a state of the art overview of how OCR software works on newspapers, factors that effect OCR accuracy, methods of measuring accuracy, methods of improving accuracy, and testing methods and results for specific solutions that were considered viable for large scale text digitisation projects.

Libcitations: A Measure for Comparative Assessment of Book Publications in the Humanities and Social Sciences

DB. National libraries.
B. Information use and sociology of information
BB. Bibliometric methods
Bibliometric measures for evaluating research units in the book-oriented humanities and social sciences are underdeveloped relative to those available for journal-oriented science and technology. We therefore present a new measure designed for book-oriented fields: the “libcitation count.” This is a count of the libraries holding a given book, as reported in a national or international union catalog. As librarians decide what to acquire for the audiences they serve, they jointly constitute an instrument for gauging the cultural impact of books. Their decisions are informed by knowledge not only of audiences but also of the book world, e.g., the reputations of authors and the prestige of publishers. From libcitation counts, measures can be derived for comparing research units. Here, we imagine a matchup between the departments of history, philosophy, and political science at the University of New South Wales and the University of Sydney in Australia. We chose the 12 books from each department that had the highest libcitation counts in the Libraries Australia union catalog during 2000–2006. We present each book’s raw libcitation count, its rank within its LC class, and its LC-class normalized libcitation score. The latter is patterned on the item-oriented field normalized citation score used in evaluative bibliometrics. Summary statistics based on these measures allow the departments to be compared for cultural impact. Our work has implications for programs such as Excellence in Research for Australia and the Research Assessment Exercise in the United Kingdom. It also has implications for data mining in OCLC’s WorldCat.

The successful strategies which motivated users to help, engage, and develop the outcomes will be examined. How can the lessons learnt be applied more broadly across the library and archive sector and what is the future potential? What are useful tips for crowdsourcing? Users no longer expect to be passive receivers of information and want to engage with data, each other and non-profit making organisations to help achieve what may seem to be impossible goals and targets. If libraries want to stay relevant and valued, offer high quality data and continue to have a significant social impact they must develop active engagement strategies and harness crowdsourcing techniques and partnerships to enhance their services. Can libraries respond to the shift in power and control of information and dare to give users something greater than power – freedom?

A success story - Australian Newspapers Digitisation Program
Holley, Rose
JG. Digitization.
This article gives an overview of the Australian Newspapers Digitisation Program (ANDP) (http://www.nla.gov.au/ndp/) and the resulting free online public service – Australian Newspapers (http://ndpbeta.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/home). The service was released to users by the National Library of Australia in August 2008 and has now been in operation for over a year. As at the end of October 2009, the Program has achieved free online public access to over 720,000 newspaper pages containing over 6.8 million articles. The public have helped to enhance the data by correcting over 6 million lines of text and adding 166,000 tags and 4200 comments. The Program is collaborative with every State and Territory Library in Australia being involved. The service supports the key objectives of the Australian Newspaper Plan (ANPlan) (http://www.nla.gov.au/anplan/) to enable communities to explore their rich newspaper heritage. By mid 2011 the Program will have digitised and made available 4 million Australian newspaper pages dating from 1803-1954.

CZ. None of these, but in this section.
In August 2008, tagging was implemented on articles that were full text searchable within the National Library of Australia’s historic Australian Newspapers service (http://newspapers.nla.gov.au).. During the first year, 500 users created over 100,000 tags, 38,000 of which were distinct. The tagging was very successful and the National Library will be extending the tagging functionality to all of its other collections before the end of 2009. In this article, the tagging activity, behaviors and outcomes are analyzed and compared with other research on image tagging.

Ramping It Up: 10 Lessons Learned in Mass Digitisation
Holley, Rose
JG. Digitization.
In 2007 the National Library of Australia (NLA) began a large-scale newspaper digitisation program that aimed to digitise one million pages (10 million articles) per year, with a view to increasing the volume over time and ramping up digitisation to include books and journals as well as newspapers. By the end of 2009 the NLA had learnt 10 key lessons about ramping up its digitisation activities into a mass-scale operation.

I. Information treatment for information services
AA. Library and information science as a field.
BB. Bibliometric methods
Professional journals play an important role in the dissemination of research results and activity reports among scientists and practitioners. This article gives a brief introduction into the field of informetrics with the purpose of presenting a list of journals in the field of library and information science (LIS ; in German: IuB). By combining ten different lists of journals from databases which cover the relevant literature in this field, a comprehensive list of 1205 professional journals could be assembled. Based on the frequency of appearance in the list, it is possible to rank individual titles by significance to the field. Four different categories of journals were identified: fifteen core journals, 88 central journals, 173 selective journals, and 672 marginal journals. Further features of the study include language of publication, geographical distribution, and the overlap of various databases with one another.

Journal Impact Factors for evaluating scientific performance : use of h-like indicators
Boell, Sebastian K.
Wilson, Concepción S.
BB. Bibliometric methods
This article introduces the Impact Factor squared or IF²-index, an h-like indicator of research performance. This indicator reflects the degree to which large entities such as countries and/or their states participate in top-level research in a field or subfield. The IF²-index uses the Journal Impact Factor (JIF) of research publications instead of the number of citations. This concept is applied to other h-type indexes and their results compared to the IF²-index. These JIF-based indexes are then used to assess the overall performance of cancer research in Australia and its states over 8 years from 1999 to 2006. The IF²-index has three advantages when evaluating larger research units: firstly, it provides a stable value that does not change over time, reflecting the degree to which a research unit participated in top-level research in a given year; secondly, it can be calculated closely approximating the publication date of yearly datasets; and finally, it provides an additional dimension when a full article-based citation analysis is not feasible. As the index reflects the degree of participation in top-level research it may favor larger units when units of different sizes are compared.

A new type of volunteer is quietly adding to the sum of knowledge of our history and heritage on the web. Ordinary Australians have helped correct millions of lines of text in the National Library of Australia's Newspapers Digitisation Program. They have contributed thousands of photographs to our national digital picture collection and helped museums like the Powerhouse identify and locate the subjects of their historical images. They have transcribed birth, death and marriage records so that they are searchable on sites like the Ryerson Index and Family Search Index. They have made thousands of out of copyright books electronically available. They have told their own stories through local websites like Mosman Memories of your street. Discover some of the most interesting projects in Australia that need the help of the public. Everyone and anyone can help by digital volunteering.

Preserving Open Access Journals: A Literature Review
Jottkandt, Sigi
JH. Digital preservation.
This literature review addresses certain questions concerning the preservation of free, born-digital scholarly materials. It covers recent thinking on the current state of preservation efforts of born-digital materials; the range of actors involved in significant preservation initiatives of these artefacts; the perceived barriers preventing open access materials from benefiting from existing preservation efforts; initiatives that may enable local, small-scale preservation efforts to be undertaken; the challenges and opportunities posed to preservation by new models of scholarship such as open access datasets, reference sharing and annotation, collaborative authoring and community peer review.
The review identifies representative international collaborative preservation initiatives, describes their goals and results, their specific preservation strategie, and their applicability to the preservation of born digital open access materials.

Libraries as Publishers: New Roles for Libraries
Jottkandt, Sigi
EB. Printing, electronic publishing, broadcasting.
Libraries in the 21st century are beginning to assume roles and responsibilities further up the research chain as participants in the production and dissemination of scholarly communication. This essay examines several library-based publishing initiatives and envisions a new, ‘virtuous circle’ of scholarly research and dissemination where a portion of the collective library purchasing power would be dedicated to the production of new scholarship rather than the duplication of the same collections worldwide.

FZ. None of these, but in this section.
This paper explores the changing work environment in libraries and information management and the impact on new professionals and new graduates. New graduates need to have their own support networks and targeted professional development to successfully navigate job and sector changes and to gain transferable skills. The development and structure of a targeted professional development event, the New Librarians’ Symposium, is discussed. This successful event, held in Australia biennially, could be considered a model of targeted professional development for other professional associations and groups.

The Accessibility of Open Access Materials in Libraries
Jottkandt, Sigi
EB. Printing, electronic publishing, broadcasting.
JB. Serials management.
DD. Academic libraries.
Librarians often champion open access (OA) as a sustainable alternative to the current scholarly communications system, which is widely accepted as being in a state of crisis. However, there has been little insight into how far libraries are making this support tangible by providing access to OA publications in their OPACs and other library pathways. This study conducted a large-scale survey of US library holdings to determine the extent that records of journals from the Directory of Open Access Journals are held by WorldCat-affiliated Academic libraries. It then followed up with a questionnaire inquiring into the attitudes and practices of librarians from 100 libraries that were ranked highest out of the total population in terms of their holdings of DOAJ journals. The main objective of the study was to develop a better understanding of the factors influencing the incorporation of OA materials into a university library’s holdings, where and by what means they typically appear on library websites, and how librarians feel about having these materials in their collections.
Our findings suggest that the majority (54%) of WorldCat-affiliated US academic libraries have at least one record for a DOAJ journal in their holdings. It additionally suggests that librarians from institutions holding high numbers of DOAJ records generally have very positive attitudes towards OA, even though most of the respondents from these institutions were largely unaware that their holdings were more heavily weighted towards DOAJ records than at comparable institutions. Regarding library selection of OA titles, a journal’s subject matter was highlighted as a more important consideration than its access model. Additional findings suggest that large publishers of OA journals tend to have a higher representation in library holdings than smaller independent publishers.

Resource Sharing in Australia: Find and Get in Trove - Making "Getting" better
Holley, Rose
DB. National libraries.
JG. Digitization.
LS. Search engines.
Trove http://trove.nla.gov.au is the Australian discovery service focusing on Australia and Australians, launched at the end of 2009. It has been created and is managed by the National Library of Australia. Trove harvests metadata from over 1000 Australian libraries and other cultural heritage institutions and organisations, giving the public free access to over 100 million items. A guiding principle of Trove is ‘Find and Get’. The first principle to ‘find’ has been achieved well. A user can find a wealth of information and format types in a single search, aggregated from many sources. The relevance ranking and zoning of results makes finding quick and easy. Therefore the focus of the Trove team for the latter half of 2010 and into 2011 has been to improve the ‘get’ options. This article gives an overview of how ‘getting’ has been improved so far, current work underway, and ideas for the future. ‘Get’ includes buy, borrow (national loans), copy, digital view, print on demand and digitise on demand.

Trove: Innovation in Access to Information in Australia
Holley, Rose
DB. National libraries.
JG. Digitization.
LS. Search engines.
In late 2009 the National Library of Australia released version 1 of Trove [1] to the public. Trove is a free search engine. It searches across a large aggregation of Australian content. The treasure is over 90 million items from over 1000 libraries, museums, archives and other organisations which can be found at the click of a button. Finding information just got easier for many Australians. Exploring a wealth of resources and digital content like never before, including full-text books, journals and newspaper articles, images, music, sound, video, maps, Web sites, diaries, letters, archives, people and organisations has been an exciting adventure for users and the service has been heavily used. Finding and retrieving instantly information in context; interacting with content and social engagement are core features of the service. This article describes Trove features, usage, content building, and its applications for contributors and users in the national context.

Resource Sharing in Australia: Find and Get in Trove - Making "Getting" Better
Holley, Rose
LZ. None of these, but in this section.
Trove http://trove.nla.gov.au is the National Australian discovery service focusing on Australia and Australians, launched at the end of 2009. It has been created and is managed by the National Library of Australia. Trove harvests metadata from over 1000 Australian libraries and other cultural heritage institutions and organisations, giving the public free access to over 100 million items. A guiding principle of Trove is ‘Find and Get’. The first principle to ‘find’ has been achieved well. A user can find a wealth of information and format types in a single search, aggregated from many sources. The relevance ranking and zoning of results makes finding quick and easy. Therefore the focus of the Trove team for the latter half of 2010 and into 2011 has been to improve the ‘get’ options. This paper gives an overview of how ‘getting’ has been improved so far, current work underway, and ideas for the future. ‘Get’ includes buy, borrow (national loans), copy, digital view, print on demand and digitise on demand.

Collecting Sharing and Improving Data: Changing roles for librarians and users (updated version)
Holley, Rose
LZ. None of these, but in this section.
The National Library of Australia has embraced changes in the information landscape and user expectations. It has increased its digitisation efforts, developed a single search service for Australian content and encouraged users to contribute and engage both with Australian data and the virtual community that surrounds it. The presentation showcases the Australian Newspapers Digitisation Program and the Trove discovery services, taking an in depth look at the development.

Social metadata for libraries, archives and museums Part 1: Site Reviews
Smith-Yoshimura, Karen
IE. Data and metadata structures.
Metadata helps users locate resources that meet their specific needs. But metadata also helps us to understand the data we find and helps us to evaluate what we should spend our time on. Traditionally, staff at libraries, archives, and museums (LAMs) create metadata for the content they manage. However, social metadata—content contributed by users—is evolving as a way to both augment and recontexutalize the content and metadata created by LAMs. Many cultural heritage institutions are interested in gaining a better understanding of social metadata and also learning how to best utilize their users' expertise to enrich their descriptive metadata and improve their users' experiences.
In order to facilitate this, a 21-member RLG Partners Social Metadata Working Group reviewed 76 sites relevant to libraries, archives, and museums that supported such social media features as tagging, comments, reviews, images, videos, ratings, recommendations, lists, links to related articles, etc. In addition, working group members surveyed site managers, analyzed the survey results and discussed the factors that contribute to successful—and not so successful—use of social metadata. They also considered issues related to assessment, content, policies, technology, and vocabularies.
This report—the first of three—provides an environmental scan of the 76 sites reviewed as well as a more detailed review of 24 representative sites. The second report will provide an analysis of the results from a survey of site managers, and the third report will provide recommendations on social metadata features most relevant to libraries, archives, and museums as well as the factors contributing to success.

Extending the scope of Trove: addition of e-resources subscribed to by Australian Libraries.
Holley, Rose
LR. OPAC systems.
Trove is the national discovery service for Australia managed by the National Library of Australia. It was released in December 2009. It contains metadata for millions of freely accessible items, from more than 1,000 contributing institutions. The focus is on Australia and Australians. In 2011 it was developed further to include selected sets of e-resources subscribed to by Australian libraries. Trove v4.0 was released in May 2011 after 120 million subscription e-resources were successfully included. This took the Trove content total to almost 240 million items. This article describes why and how the work was undertaken, what was achieved, the issues and future plans for development.

The Duhig Building: Changing Configurations of a Library Space at the University of Queensland
East, John W.
DD. Academic libraries.
KB. Library, archive and museum buildings.
The present study is about the university library as a building. It is a case-study of one particular Australian library building, the Duhig Building at the University of Queensland, which was designed seventy-five years ago and is still in use today. It will try to show not only how that building has been modified over the years to meet the changing needs of students and researchers, but also how those modifications have reflected changing perceptions of the role of the library and of the needs of those whom it serves.

Harnessing the cognitive surplus of the nation: new opportunities for libraries in a time of change. The 2012 Jean Arnot Memorial Fellowship Essay.

This essay is the winner of the 2012 Jean Arnot Memorial Fellowship. The essay draws on Rose Holley's experience of managing innovative library services that engage crowds such as The Australian Newspapers Digitisation Program and Trove, and her ongoing research into library, archive and museum crowdsourcing projects. This experience and knowledge has been put into the context of Jean Arnot’s values and visions for Australian libraries. Jean Arnot, the distinguished Australian librarian, described her vision for an innovative library service over sixty years ago. Rose suggests how some of her goals are now being achieved through use of the internet and digital technologies, and how we can build on these to ensure that libraries remain valued and relevant by harnessing the cognitive surplus of the nation they serve, and by crowdsourcing.

LC. Internet, including WWW.
In 2010, the State Library of Queensland (SLQ) donated their out-of-copyright Queensland images to Wikimedia Commons. One direct effect of publishing the collections at Wikimedia Commons is the ability of general audiences to participate and help the library in processing the images in the collection. This paper will discuss a project that explored user participation in the categorisation of the State Library of Queensland digital image collections. The outcomes of this project can be used to gain a better understanding of user participation that lead to improving access to library digital collections. Two techniques for data collection were used: documents analysis and interview. Document analysis was performed on the Wikimedia Commons monthly reports. Meanwhile, interview was used as the main data collection technique in this research.
The data collected from document analysis was used to help the researchers to devise appropriate questions for interviews. The interviews were undertaken with participants who were divided into two groups: SLQ staff members and Wikimedians (users who participate in Wikimedia). The two sets of data collected from participants were analysed independently and compared. This method was useful for the researchers to understand the differences between the experiences of categorisation from both the librarians’ and the users’ perspectives. This paper will provide a discussion on the preliminary findings that have emerged from each group participant. This research provides preliminary information about the extent of user participation in the categorisation of SLQ collections in Wikimedia Commons that can be used by SLQ and other interested libraries in describing their digital content by their categorisations to improve user access to the collection in the future.
