South Australian Showcase
Robyn Walden, Flinders

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. |
