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
For many years, ScreenSound Australia has acquired a sampling of television and radio broadcasts for its collections. Traditionally this has been done by sending out blank stock to broadcasters who then copy the selected programs and return them to the Archive. With the advent of satellite broadcasting, it is now possible to establish a real-time capture program which enables programs to be captured, catalogued and made available. This paper will look at establishment of a capture pilot program, some of the technical issues involved, problems of selection, and permissions and rights, cataloguing and making content available and impact on workflow practices and procedures. |

Abstract
MusicAustralia is a portal for anyone interested in Australian music. A joint development of the National Library of Australia and ScreenSound Australia, National Screen and Sound Archive, it provides users with access to a federated resource discovery service for Australian music in notated and audio representations and in digital and non-digital formats, and a directory service providing information on people, organisations and services associated with Australian music. This paper outlines the reasons for placing the National Bibliographic Database at the heart of MusicAustralia federation activity and the infrastructure elements and business processes developed to support this architecture. |

Abstract
CONZULSys was formed under the aegis of CONZUL (Council of New Zealand University Librarians) in a climate of increasing collaboration and the need to provide an efficient, cost effective library service to New Zealand university students, staff and researchers. The consortium began with four members – Auckland University of Technology, University of Otago, University of Waikato, and Victoria University of Wellington - for the joint purchase and operation of an Information & Resource Access Management System (IRAMS) to be managed in a hosted environment. Progress in implementation and future development of the consortium are outlined. |

Abstract
The SWIFT Initiative is a proposal for Victorian public libraries to collaboratively share the operation of one library management system to achieve improved service outcomes for library users plus operational and cost benefits for the participating libraries. It is envisaged that over time all Victorian public libraries would participate. This paper is about two aspects of the SWIFT Initiative. The paper covers the underlying reasons that prompted consideration for the proposed project and an overview of the business case prepared by PricewaterhouseCoopers. Through substantiation of the validity of the proposal, the business case was intended to persuade libraries and Councils of the merits of the project and to participate and for the Victorian State Government to provide a special funding grant to assist with the initial establishment costs of the collaborative venture. |

Abstract
The Gulliver Consortium is a Victorian public library based group formed in 2001. Gulliver purchases electronic databases for members and selects databases after careful evaluation on specified criteria of content, statistical and technical features and vendor viability. After some months of evaluating databases using an Excel spreadsheet, an online version was developed to improve the administration of the tool and also the transparency of the evaluation process. The online tool is also flexible and can easily grow to accommodate a larger number of databases. Additional features will be added to the tool in future “upgrades”. |
