Recognising that information technology is ultimately there for the end user, the conference was opened with a short and humorous video clip of a young digital native library user called Abbey.
The following papers were presented at VALA2010. See also the VALA2010 Programme or the archived VALA2010 conference web site.

Abstract
With an increasing societal move towards making research data public, the Australian National Data Service (ANDS) is releasing a number of services to assist with this. The subject of this paper is the service called "Publish My Data". It is not a centralised monolithic system, but rather a set of flexible services providing some key functions that enable organisations and individuals to more formally publish their data using as much of their own infrastructure as appropriate. |

Abstract
From 2008-2010, the State Library of Victoria has implemented five enterprise-wide library systems as part of the SLV21 project planning framework. A considerable amount of time and effort has been put into working with data flow across these different systems to ensure that staff workflows and data use and re-use is properly managed. This paper will cover a range of data modelling and planning that has been necessary to work with each system. Some best practice methods are discussed and outcomes and recommendations put forward. |

Abstract
Populating institutional repositories poses a significant challenge. This paper provides an assessment of awareness and advocacy techniques that have been used in established institutional repositories in Australia and internationally. In summary, a repository policy is essential. Mandates work better than simply recommending repository use. It helps to make depositing as easy as possible and sort out copyright, by providing staff to work with the academics. Contacting academics individually is more effective than printed publicity material. The repository is more useful to the academic if it relates to their regular workflow. |

A new vision for university libraries: towards 2015
VALA 2010 CONCURRENT SESSION 2 - Physical and Virtual Access
Tuesday 9 February 2010, 12:00 - 12:30

Abstract
At UTS, plans for a new library building to open in 2015 are fuelling a re-imagining of our library. We are moving towards a new sustainable, client focussed and innovative library that will find its physical expression in a new library building, but is envisioned as being situated equally in the physical and digital environments. In this paper, we aim to describe our vision of the future by revealing some of the plans and projects already underway at UTS Library, and also by speculating a bit on our future - and perhaps yours. |

Abstract
The University Library's Information Commons Group services and facilities have continued to thrive and improve student life and learning since the opening of the Kate Edger Information Commons in April 2003. The IC Group has a strong strategic focus on continuous improvement in areas of management, staff development, operations, space design, technology, resource development and client services. The IC Group collaborates with ITS in offering and improving electronic campus services for students. This paper outlines the "how" and "why" behind changes and improvements in the IC Group. The benefits to staff and students will also be demonstrated. This paper also briefly discusses the reengineering of the original service model to accommodate changes in learning, technology and student needs. |
