Abstract

Through collaboration with research support community partners, ustralia’s Academic Research Network provider (AARNet) is contributing to the ‘digital dexterity’ of the university library and wider research sector through creating an ‘infrastructure literacy’ training framework. AARNet aims for this framework to be adopted by the Library Carpentry community and implemented in the spirit of breaking down barriers and building capability in eResearch across all domains.

Abstract

This critical conversation seeks to understand the tension between the high curiosity in technology in the library sector versus the low confidence in digital skills that seems to exist within the profession, and what we might be able to do about it.

Abstract

When the Cinderella Collections reports were released, in 1996 and 1998, 256 university museums and collections in Australia were identified as needing investment to aid in transforming research and teaching. Digitisation then was a functional extension of access to physical collections; however, 20 years on, a new paradigm for digitisation is emerging. This new paradigm is driven by strategic pragmatism and scholarly coherence through collaboration in digital scholarship, redefining collections “as data”, and in the use of new technologies and methodologies.

Abstract

In the Cultures and Communities project, common cross-community aims to make archival information accessible and reusable for academic research, and to share data, have been realised. The API developed through the project supports systematic access to archival data and derived data publishing, and has demonstrated the value of a 360-degree model for data sharing and interoperability. The 360-degree model enables humanities and GLAM (galleries, libraries, archives, and museums) cross-community collaboration and can be broadly applied to enabling systematic access to data in cultural collections for all Australian research.

Abstract

Linked open data (LOD) methods are increasingly being applied to aggregate and integrate data and impact upon data and technical infrastructures enabling resource discovery and interoperability. In October to November 2015, the authors visited nine teams leading the way with LOD practices, in programmes, institutes, universities, and libraries in the USA, Europe, and the UK. This paper presents the nature of LOD methods, the context for practice change, insights from site visits as exemplars of practice change, and an accompanying analysis in support of Australian GLAMs (Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums) practice change.

Abstract

Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums (GLAMs) have a long and rich history in providing services and maintaining collections in support of humanities research. New methods of scholarly research in the digital humanities have emerged. GLAM “data” is in the main still delivered in ways that suit traditional methods of research, that is, through a website, an online catalogue or exhibition, and social media sites. GLAMs can extend their collection services and repackage their content to meet increasing technical requirements of digital humanities researchers by making the content available in new ways.

Abstract

The premise underlying this paper is that the cultural collecting sector, that is, galleries, libraries, archives and museums (GLAMs) have established description practices, communities of practice, and shared interest in collaboration and exploiting Linked Open Data (LOD) technologies to improve resource discovery of cultural collections online. The question posed is a means of unpacking: what LOD means in technical terms; what other technologies support resource discovery; what impact using LOD might have on collecting sector description practices and more widely in other sectors with increasing levels of openness in the provision of data and metadata, such as eResearch and government sectors.
