University Libraries

Robyn Walden, Flinders University
Patricia Scott, University of Adelaide
In this presentation we will be speaking about the University sector in South Australia outlining the history of cooperation between the three University libraries including the joint purchase of the Voyager Information System and future plans such as the bench marking of technical services operations. We will discuss the issue of "disappearing collections" from smaller libraries (have they really disappeared or just changed hands) and the services offered to special libraries by the three universities. We will also discuss a pilot project conducted at Flinders in 2002 with YBP and OCLC to test the potential of the Voyager Acquisitions system for streamlining Bibliographic Services' operations and negotiations with Kinetica to provide a similar service.
