Roxanne Missingham Parliamentary Librarian, Parliament of Australia |
The information future: a perspective from the Parliamentary Library |
Senators and Members have a complex and pressured
information environment - how does the Parliamentary Library site in it and
what value do we add? The presentation will report on a recent evaluation
(including survey and focus groups) of the Parliamentary information
environment, where the Library is positioned compared to other information
sources and key directions for the future. It will also canvass issues
in providing parliamentary information to Australians and the role of
libraries in supporting our democracy. |

Baden Hughes Enterprise Information Architect, University of Melbourne. |
The Effects of Cross-Pollination : How Non-Library Mass Market Services Are Changing Library User Expectations and Behaviours | In this talk we will consider how the emergence of free online services are affecting, and will continue to influence library user expectations and behaviours, posing new challenges for service delivery and information needs fulfillment in traditional libraries. Specific examples will be drawn from mass digitization, user generated content, end user composable services, and social tagging / recommender systems. In particular, the rise of these services reinforce, rather than challenge the need for long cultivated library and information science skills, but motivate revitalised service delivery models. |
