Abstract

The University of Melbourne is currently investing in several projects to improve long-term data curation and implement digital preservation activities. Digital preservation capability maturity models are one element being explored to benchmark current capabilities, and to plan for and implement incremental improvements to support digital preservation. We describe our experience building a tool based on the CESSDA-SAW Capability Development Model (CESSDA-CDM), and show how we simplified this model, with potential benefits for other organisations seeking to get started with digital preservation. We detail lessons learned and next steps to make the tool applicable to a wider range of organisations.

Abstract

Managing Data @Melbourne is a new program, aimed at graduate researchers at the University of Melbourne, which seeks to raise the level of research data management skills. Building on previous work by the University of Edinburgh, the program has found innovative ways of tackling blended learning at scale and leveraging data management planning tools to maximise participant engagement. This paper summarises the University of Melbourne Library’s journey from an initial pilot in 2014 through to a full rollout of the comprehensive program in 2017.

Abstract

The concept of using Linked Data in libraries is gaining momentum; however, there are limited concrete examples that demonstrate the benefits of this approach. This paper explores the use of Linked Data at the Victorian Parliamentary Library, and discusses whether the internal benefits on their own are enough to justify the investment in this new technology.

Access, schmaccess: libraries in the Age of Information Ubiquity

The 21st century isn’t just here, it’s already 12% over. The presence of ubiquitous access to a global information network, and the cultures that flourish on that network, change everything about Libraries… or do they? Eli will highlight some of the contrasts between the Web Culture of this Century, and the Broadcast Culture of the last century, exploring how the value, mission, and focus of libraries are impacted by this cultural change, which has still barely begun. Maybe the library of the future is not really so different from the library of the past… from a certain point of view.

Abstract

The Victorian Parliamentary Library built an application to automatically locate and download media releases using the RSS feeds of political parties. Using the OpenCalais web service to tag items with relevant semantic metadata has improved the Library’s workflow and increased the usefulness of the database, by helping users discover directly linked items. The benefits of using these tools and problems encountered are discussed.
