Abstract

As key contributors in the endeavour to build student digital capability, university library staff must be capable and confident in the digital environment. In addressing this need, the Council of Australian University Librarians (CAUL) Digital Dexterity program has taken a sector-wide approach to sustain a unique community of practice (CoP). Established as a partnership between CAUL and CAVAL, the CoP includes 52 institutionally nominated Digital Dexterity Champions. This paper outlines how the CAUL Digital Dexterity Capability team has fostered the CoP, encouraging collaboration and the exchange of knowledge, supporting collective learning and grounding digital dexterity in real world practice.

Abstract

The CAVAL member libraries believe that the major issue confronting libraries at the start of the New Millennium is collection development. These Libraries have been committed to the achievement of VADL for the past twelve months. VADL will be a Digital Library which will be shared and yet reflect the interests of each of the discipline interests of the member universities. VADL has established a range of research into the shape and extent of existing collections within Victoria. This paper highlights the path taken by these libraries, how their response differs from the American experience and how collaboration can be achieved through a new service model.

Abstract

This paper describes the development of the Unicode standard, how it is being used by computer systems generally and by the library community in particular. The complexities of implementing a system which supports a multi-language environment are explored, using the implementation of the Ex Libris Aleph 500 library system at CAVAL Collaborative Solutions as a case study. CAVAL provides cataloguing services to customers in over fifty languages, so that the ability to handle Unicode was a key criterion in the selection of the system. Unicode is complex to implement but is becoming an essential component for library systems.

Abstract

This paper describes and illustrates the new processes that CAVAL is using to convert content into digital form. The research and development process began with the purchase of a Kirtas 2400 RA Book Digitising device in 2008. This page-turning device now underpins the provision of high quality digitisation services for books and bound volumes. Issues discussed include image enhancement, file format options, differing criteria for preservation and digitisation and the potential integration of complementary services such as metadata harvesting and copyright permissions management. More recently a facility to digitise large format newspapers and maps has been developed. Much of the digitised content created has now been made available via the web providing access to full-text searchable information that was previously almost impossible to find and access.

Abstract

This paper considers the storage options for print collections in a digital environment. Recent changes to library space use in particular are reducing the space available for print storage and forcing libraries to look to other solutions, including print repositories. Repositories potentially produce benefits to the networks of libraries they serve; to individual libraries within the network, and to the communities of researchers that using those libraries. The paper emphasises the Australian situation, and the discussion encompasses the policy developments that are necessary to optimise the benefits of a fully implemented national print repository for Australia.
