    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.

Our Ebook Future - ProQuest - 0 views

  • Every librarian I know is asked regularly how libraries are going to survive now that "everything's online"
  • paperbacks or audiobooks shut us down. Both of those formats increased the appetite and audience for books, just as ebooks are doing now.
  • have to adapt to readers' changing preferences and habits
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • Without having books embedded in our physical environment, it would be so much harder to help readers connect with new books and authors.
  • If no one cared about books and reading anymore, then that's the time to worry.
  • Libraries are both cultural institutions and businesses, in the best sense of both words. They buy a lot of books. They buy a lot of really wonderful books. And they help bang the drum for those books in their communities. That has tremendous value for us and for the readers we both share and value.
  • Finally, what do you wish librarians understood better about publishing? We're passionate believers in the future of libraries and their vital role in communities. We want them to thrive. That means we have to find new ways of having more dialog about what our shared future can look like. We have a long history together--much has changed, and much will continue to change.
  • A HarperCollins ebook will remain on a library's e-bookshelf until the maximum number of circulations is reached, and for many books 26 circulations could last several years.

Blogs in Plain English - YouTube - 0 views

      You've seen the word, you've seen the web sites and you may even have one.  But have you ever wondered:  What's the big deal about blogs? This is Blogs in Plain English. To make sense of blogs, you have to think about the news and who makes it. We'll look at news in the 20th vs. the 21st century to make our point. In the 20th century, the news was produced professionally.  When news happened, reporters wrote the stories and a tiny group of people decided what appeared in a newspaper or broadcast. Professional news was mainstream: general and limited. The 21st century marked the point where news became both professional and personal.   A new kind of web site called a weblog or blog came onto the scene that let anyone be a reporter and publisher - often for free. As blogs became popular, they created millions of news sources and gave everyone an audience for their own version of news. Of course, we're using the word "news" loosely.  But really - isn't everything news to someone?  With a blog...A business owner can share news about his business A mother can share news about her family Or a sport star can share news with fans These people are all "bloggers". How did this happen? Well, blogs made sharing news on the web easy.  Anyone with an idea can start a new blog with the click of a button and share news minutes later. Here's how blogs work. Blogs are websites that are organized by blog posts - these are individual news stories, like articles in the paper. Bloggers simply fill out a form like this one to post a new story. With the click of a button, the blog post appears at the top of the web page, just above yesterday's news.  Over time, the blog becomes a collection of these posts, all archived for easy reference. Also, Each blog post can become a discussion through comments left by readers. Blogs make the news a two way street. But really, the fuss is not about how blogs work - it's about what people like you do with
