1 Debbie Campbell Director, Coordination Support Branch National Library of Australia Engaging national information infrastructure with learning environments 4 th International JISC-CNI Conference …26-27 June 2002

2 Five challenges for libraries to address:  “critical mass  aggregation  local collection development  integration  archives” Five areas to take action in ( UKOLN ):  “distributed discovery location and request  development of metadata  coordination of national resource discovery  integrated access to resources across domains  organisation of distributed library resources” using the past to find the future 4 th International JISC-CNI Conference …26-27 June 2002

3  by building on the strengths of existing systems  by providing integrated access to print and electronic sources of information through existing systems  by providing easy to use access pathways for the end-user print is not forgotten 4 th International JISC-CNI Conference …26-27 June 2002

4 in the national learning environment:  the Australian Academic Research Library Network (AARLIN),  the Collaborative Online Learning and Information Services (COLIS) Consortium,  a new resource discovery service, and in associated projects:  the Western Australian Libraries Authentication Project (WALAP),  the Schools Online Content Curriculum Initiative (SOCCI) Australian library engagement 4 th International JISC-CNI Conference …26-27 June 2002

5 4 th International JISC-CNI Conference …26-27 June 2002 talking the same talk

6 4 th International JISC-CNI Conference …26-27 June 2002 Early findings from the pilot phase:  Z39.50, distributed searching  130 commercial databases chosen, 40 implemented  UNIX skills required by university staff, collaboration facilitated this Reactions from academics:  not interested in Web sites selected by libraries or described in catalogues  keen on multi-database searches, e-journals  assumed could access resources not held/subscribed to by the university walking the same walk

8 4 th International JISC-CNI Conference …26-27 June 2002 beware the ‘portal’ label "I think we're more interested in not going it alone." “The results were not blazingly fast, a fact that annoyed some students” “.. plans to become more involved in academic collaborations such as the university- sponsored Open Knowledge Initiative..”

10 4 th International JISC-CNI Conference …26-27 June 2002 dancing to the same tune  “identify and map interoperability issues for learning space applications  identify appropriate standards for interoperability  provide input to IMS and other standards bodies to fill interoperability gaps  provide input into the OKI framework”

13 4 th International JISC-CNI Conference …26-27 June 2002 disclosing resources in the proposed pilot:  EdNA Online  South Seas project  Australian Digital Theses Program  Australian Virtual Engineering Library (AVEL)  Australian National University’s e-print archive  Australian Museums Online (AMOL)  the U.K.’s Resource Discovery Network (Australian resources only)  the National Bibliographic Database  PANDORA, maps, manuscripts  Australian Journals Online (with newspapers)  online exhibitions

14 4 th International JISC-CNI Conference …26-27 June 2002 shining a light the pilot resource discovery service is:  making free, significant resources more visible in the public domain  enhancing awareness and use of the intellectual output of a nation by disclosing it to a broad community, to facilitate learning, teaching and research  engendering an interest in underutilised resources  flagging resources ‘at risk’  identifying and supporting service providers of the future

18 4 th International JISC-CNI Conference …26-27 June 2002 is it all about libraries ? Ø “libraries often do not present a clear vision to those responsible for library funding Ø the public does not see the library as part of the service they receive, but those responsible for funding need to be aware of the library’s role Ø libraries need to find a way to be more closely aligned with political and economic agendas Ø it is difficult for government agencies to get approval for plans which do not show a tangible economic benefit Ø it is essential that the library sector present a single voice to get funding for significant infrastructure development Ø there is value in trying to move the focus from strictly economic issues, although social and cultural value is not necessarily measurable in dollar terms”

19 4 th International JISC-CNI Conference …26-27 June 2002 are we there yet ? “incremental change is no longer enough.. transformational change is needed to secure sustainability..”
