Abstract

“ZAVIER” stands for z39.50 Arts Victoria Interoperability Project. It was designed to demonstrate the feasibility of using z39.50 to search the databases of the major Victorian cultural organsiations – the National Gallery of Victoria, the Museum of Victoria, the State Library of Victoria, the Performing Arts Museum, Cinemedia and Public Records of Victoria. This proved technically feasible, but if success is measured by continuing life – this project would have to be considered a failure. This paper briefly outlines the project and suggests some reasons for its non-continuance.

Abstract

In January 2009 the State Library of Victoria implemented a new model for delivering reference and customer services, based on the principles of mobility, communication and teamwork. To support this new model, it became the first library in Australia to implement the Vocera wireless communications system. This paper outlines the impetus for change, describes the use of the Vocera system and provides an analysis of the pros and cons of this implementation.

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

In late 2005 the State Library of Victoria made a small change to the page on which its images were displayed over the Web. It added a link to a form which allowed the public to send comments on an image to the State Library of Victoria. The size and variety of the response was totally unexpected. As a result of this and because of a growing awareness of the discussion about Library 2.0, the development of ‘communities’, and a need to devise a way to manage the responses in line with library values in regard to privacy, authenticity of information and engagement a project was devised to analyse the responses. Results of this analysis are presented with example comments followed by a brief discussion on future plans for the project.

Abstract

This paper discusses some of the key principles of the State Library of Victoria’s recently released Digital Preservation Policy and how these were applied to a heritage map digitisation project, the Melbourne and Metropolitan Board of Works Maps Digitising Project. Principles discussed include image capture standards, image metadata, storage and media. The project presented many challenges and twists and turns along the way- a surprising adventure for the project team.
