Abstract

This paper examines the changing academic library collections landscape, in which electronic resources play an increasingly dominant role. Prompted by both a change in strategic direction and a challenging budget, Libraries and Learning Services at the University of Auckland has shifted from building its electronic resource collections to managing them. In response, we have developed an electronic resources evaluation framework to ensure that our e-resource collection remains dynamic and most effectively meets our users’ needs.

Abstract

New Zealand Universities have recently agreed to introduce mandatory e-reporting to replace the manual survey and ensure compliance with the terms of the licence agreed with Copyright Licensing New Zealand. In this paper I argue that digital technology provides the means to effectively manage copyright compliance in educational institutions and to counter its uncertainty. The paper considers the background that led to the decision to implement e-reporting and how that implementation is proceeding. It also considers the benefits to the parties, what the road blocks are and how these can be potentially overcome.

Abstract

The Research Support Services (RSS) team at the University of Auckland’s Libraries and Learning Services (L&LS) undertakes innovative approaches to engage with researchers in a changing landscape. Two research management systems, Research Outputs and the Research Repository, are embedded into different institutional processes and systems. A BiblioInformatics service is offered to individual researchers, providing guidance and advice for maximising research visibility and an automated platform is available for generating impact reports. Benchmarking reports are produced for senior management using various tools. New ventures include social media workshops and a collaborative effort with Architecture researchers to reconceptualise research outputs and impact.

Abstract

The University of Auckland Library has introduced a Unified Resource Discovery (URD) environment, but has discovered implementing the technology alone does not necessarily provide a complete solution. This paper identifies other constraints, including different business models and user behaviour for acceptance of new technology that can influence the outcome. It concludes by articulating the role the Library can play in facilitating alignment between business, users, and technology to achieve a URD environment that works.

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.

Abstract

The aim of the ENZB project at the University of Auckland Library is to provide a corpus of significant material published about New Zealand in the first two thirds of the 19th century. This paper looks at design parameters for the database and technical processes used to convert printed text and images to electronic format for presentation on the web. The ENZB is an in-house project using FineReader 7 OCR software to produce TEI-compliant XML files. b-engine software produces HTML for the web and links text to images of the original pages.
