description: Improved access to the Librarys rare map collection has been
the impetus for conducting a digitisation project of the material. The success
of other digitisation projects in the Library, notably the
IMAGES 1, together with the Internet and the
Librarys automated catalogue, Libraries Australia also provides options for
improving access to this collection if the digitisation issues relating to
early maps can be successfully addressed. Direct access to a map database with
links between the catalogue record and the image, such as in
IMAGES 1, may be a possibility while an integrated
approach, using all three technologies, provides another possible option. |
