description: The University of Queensland Library has an excellent collection
of audio/visual material in the traditional analogue format. Our aim is to
increase the flexibility and accessibility of this collection by purchasing
items in the digital format (the library already provides access to a wide
collection of multimedia CD-ROM's), as well as via a conversion project. The
first stage, which is already underway, will be to set up a resource of
multimedia hardware and software which will enable access to a wide range of
digital format items. The second stage will be to identify those audio/visual
items which are suitable for conversion to a digital format, complete the
conversion process, and then make them available to library clients via the
world wide web. For purely technical reasons emphasis will initially be given
to audio recordings. |
