Abstract

The State Library of Queensland recently embarked on a project to improve the process for describing its archival collections and the presentation of its online finding aids. Existing options for archival description were investigated, and it was decided to ‘go it alone’ with a bespoke system powered by Drupal. This paper outlines the processes followed during the project, detailing the challenges, solutions, lessons learned, and next steps.

Abstract

Through collection acquisition, digitisation, engagement and data sharing activities, State Library of Queensland’s QANZAC100: Memories for a New Generation project has created a unique digital legacy of Queensland participation in the First World War. With an aim to increase understanding of Queenslanders’ experiences during and after the First World War, the project has also built the capacity of community stakeholders to explore and share local and family stories, enabled researchers to access content, explored how the war is remembered, and encouraged a re-examination of the past. In order to sustain a digital legacy, outcomes of the project have been considered as data, with intent to achieve open, structured, interoperable, and re-usable data.

Abstract

This paper discusses the research project undertaken by State Library of Queensland into what a Digital Library could be. With this project, the State Library explored what a public library could be in 2020 in the virtual realm. Digital Library Project 5 (lightheartedly renamed ALICE) is an investigation into an eLending/ePublishing platform, NOT a library management system. We were not exploring how to organise ‘stuff’. The major issues discussed include the need to be ‘intrapreneural’, the details of the project itself and the risks with a startup approach.

Abstract

The Libraryhack competition, run by National and State Libraries Australasia, provided the Australian library sector with the opportunity to interact with developers and artists and work in new ways to enhance the role of libraries in the community. It also provided valuable insight into how our users wish to interact with our collections, our data, and our libraries. Finally, it challenged us to embrace what will be the fundamentally collaborative nature of the future library. This paper will showcase some of the applications and mashups created, explore marketing and promotion outcomes, successful strategies to build staff engagement and positive collaborative relationships with participants in the competition.

Abstract

In 2005, the State Library of Queensland began a project to design and implement an integrated system that could manage work requests from a single platform for units with diverse activities, including IT, facilities management, document delivery and reference services. The reward at the end of a comprehensive process analysis is a sophisticated work request management system, which has satisfied its original brief and demonstrated its capacity to adapt to organisational change. This discussion describes how the practical application of a system built on a call centre model has transformed the way the State Library manages its service and information transactions.

Abstract

In the vast state of Queensland, the ability to create and share stories about people, places, landscapes and ecology using digital technology and the World Wide Web bridges distance and difference. The sharing of stories is the key concept around which the Queensland Stories program has been built. The program strongly aligns with the State Library’s new strategic priorities and positions it as a leading institution in the field of digital technology. It promotes the State Library as a centre of creativity and learning, and provides opportunities for community engagement projects as well as the creation of user generated content for the collection.
