  • New Zealand content difficult to discover, share and use
  • DigitalNZ is testing ways to create digital content, collect and share existing digital content, and build smart, freely available search and discovery tools.
  • Memory Maker blurs the line between consuming and producing content. What’s sometimes called ‘remix culture’ […]. Digital technologies have opened up new possibilities for young people to access and represent the stories of their culture by taking sound and images and recombining them to say something new, something relevant to them.

  • The Memory Maker provides a taste of what is possible when collecting institutions modernise their practices for keeping and managing copyright information, using Creative Commons licenses or ‘no known copyright’ statements.
  • Learning about ‘hyperlinks’ today, these young New Zealanders will be the developers and creators of tomorrow.
  • The full set of contributions is accessible through a Coming Home search tool, occasionally on a google-like hosted search page (Figure 5), but more often through a search widget embedded on many New Zealand Web sites (Figure 6).
  • Digital New Zealand is developing and testing solutions that showcase what’s possible when we really focus on improving access to and discovery of New Zealand content.
  • Technically, the Digital New Zealand system is in three parts: a backend, a metadata store, and a front end.
  • The coolest thing to be done with your data will be thought of by someone else
  • “an API is basically a way to give developers permission to hack into your database”.

    M. Piggott (2012) "Themes in Australian Recordkeeping, 1788 - 2010", Chapter 2, Archives and societal provenance : Australian essays, Chandos Publishing. http://link.library.curtin.edu.au/p?pid=CUR_ALMA51110902610001951  Subjects: Archives -- Australia -- History ; Libraries and society -- Australia ; Archives -- Collection management -- Australia ; Archives -- Australia ; Libraries -- Australia ; Records -- Australia -- Management Description: "Records and archival arrangements in Australia are globally relevant because Australia's indigenous peoples represent the oldest living culture in the world, and because modern Australia is an ex-colonial society now heavily multicultural in outlook. Archives and societal provenance explores this distinctiveness using the theoretical concept of societal provenance as propounded by Canadian archival scholars led by Dr Tom Nesmith. The book's seventeen essays blend new writing and re-workings and combinations of earlier work and comprise the first text to present a societal provenance perspective to a national setting. The book is divided into four sections. The first part looks at the historical context of archives in Australia; the second part covers the institutions involved in the Australian archival story; the third part discusses the formation of archives; and the fourth part considers the debates surrounding archives in Australia. The book concludes with a consideration of the notion of an archival afterlife." --backcover.

Learning together: using social media to foster collaboration in higher education - 0 views

  • population of users on a particular social bookmarking site influences not only the amount but also the type and quality of bookmarks in the system.
  • In all these examples, the community of users is an important factor in ensuring the quality of the resources bookmarked in the system.
  • Social bookmarking tools allow users to classify their bookmarks by assigning tags
  • With regard to information literacy instruction, Luo (2010) found evidence that librarians are using tags to present course-specific resources to students.
  • hey can also be used to engage students in resource discovery
  • This use of social bookmarking initiated from a need to simply collect and share resources but has yielded other benefits. Traditionally in projects of this type, librarians collate lists of resources that are then passed on to the web developer to turn into a web page. This is fairly labour intensive for the web developer and means that any time subject librarians want to add or edit links they have to submit the changes to the web developer. Scholar includes a tool that allows RSS feeds to be created from searches of Scholar tags. In this case, the web developer just created links to the Scholar feeds – rather than manually creating lists of links and descriptions in HTML. As well as saving the initial job of manually creating HTML pages, it allows the page to be dynamic. If a subject librarian wants to add a web resource to the page, all they have to do is to bookmark that page with the appropriate tags in Scholar. The new webpage is automatically added to the feed without the need for the intervention of the web developer.

  • Information graphics or infographics are graphic visual representations of information, data or knowledge.
  • While the art form of infographics has its roots in print, by the year 2000, the use of Adobe Flash-based animations on the web has allowed mapping solutions and other products famous and addictive by using many key best practices of infographics.

  • Likewise, their use in television is relatively recent. In 2002, two Norwegian musicians of Röyksopp issued a music video for their song "Remind Me" that was completely made from animated infographics. In 2004, a television commercial for the French energy company Areva used similar animated infographics. Both of these videos and their high visibility have helped the corporate world recognize the value in using this form of visual language to describe complex information efficiently.
