Abstract

In recent years, there have been considerable developments in both international and national laws relating to copyright, as governments struggle to come to terms with developments in technology. Libraries, too, are attempting to find appropriate ways of managing the rights in electronic materials. This paper, based on research visits made to the United Kingdom in 2001, explores some of the electronic rights management systems and solutions being developed in British libraries.

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.

The VALA Travel Scholarship for 2012 is awarded to Warren Cheetham from City Libraries Townsville.

Travel ScholarWarren will be travelling to Canada and the United States in order to investigate existing and planned projects where fibre-broadband rollouts affect libraries, whether positively or negatively. He will identify and report on current best practice and make recommendations as to where Australian libraries might contribute to the global conversation about libraries and fibre-broadband applications.

We look forward to hearing the results of Warren’s research at the VALA2014 conference.

Congratulations, Warren!

Abstract

This paper provides a comprehensive overview and critical analysis of the implementation of Quick Response codes (QR codes) in academic and public libraries, and investigates their varied uses within Australian and International institutions, with the support of a VALA Travel Scholarship. QR codes are a primary technology being used by libraries to engage and assist users by providing a bridge to access the ever-expanding amount of library information and resources that have been optimised for use on mobile devices. This paper explores the various applications these libraries have found for QR codes, and the processes involved in their implementation, promotion and maintenance; reception by library staff and patrons; future applications for the technology; and discusses related technologies.

Abstract

This paper, based on a research trip to North America in 2003, which was generously sponsored by the VALA Travel Scholarship program, reports on ways in which medical libraries are supporting clinicians in the use of hand held computer technology, specifically Personal Digital Assistants PDAs. The types of services and support offered by hospital and academic health science libraries include: evaluating and selecting PDA clinical content, circulating PDA devices pre-loaded with clinical content, creating websites with links to PDA resources, conducting training sessions, facilitating PDA User Groups, and providing synching cradles and beaming stations for clients. The paper examines library initiatives for integrating new handheld computer technology to services and collections and outlines some of the licensing models for PDA- formatted content.

Abstract

A convergence of technologies is bringing about a fundamental shift in the way in which art and cultural resources are being accessed. I will describe some of the image databases and delivery systems which have been developed, how collaborative and consortia ventures are distributing cultural content beyond traditional boundaries and how standards developed by the visual resources community have facilitated systems interoperability and helped to create the possibility of a massive growth in the availability of resources online. I also examine implications for the wider library and information management community, especially as they relate to education.

Abstract

This paper based on a study visit made in May 1999, generously sponsored by the VALA Travel Scholarship program, reports on developmental projects that seek to aid library users to efficiently discover and locate information resources. In the current information landscape, where resources exist in a variety of formats, the goal is to develop systems that seamlessly integrate the globally distributed content. The report includes descriptions of the most promising UK eLib program funded research projects into Hybrid Library Systems and some of the Digital Library Initiatives in USA Universities. It also identifies and provides links to other international research on creating Digital Library Systems.

Abstract

This paper, based on a research visit to the United Kingdom in 1999, discusses the electronic progress being achieved by some major British cultural institutions, particularly in comparison to digitization progress which has been made by Australia’s first prime ministerial library. It examines digitization of difficult collection areas such as multimedia and the desirability of upscaling digital projects.
