Libraries Australia and Trove
• Distinct user communities
• Trove repurposes the ANBD
• Libraries Australia is functionally broader
• Trove clusters versions

Scope of Trove
• The NLA’s aspiration: to include collection data of all kinds that will meet the information needs of Australian library users and researchers:– Data from library catalogues and other library collection data– Government data– Museum/gallery data– Archives data– Research publications– Research datasets– Other statistical datasets– Digitised book and journal collections (including vendor-supplied e-
resources)– Biographical data

Use case examples
• Nellie Melba• Road safety• The 1983 Australian election campaign• The climate change work of James Hansen• Complex Regional Pain Syndrome

Trove’s “national data store”
• Records from the Australian National Bibliographic Database (ANBD)
• Dublin Core metadata describing digitised pictures
• Dublin Core metadata describing the contents of university research repositories
• The full text of more than 10 million historic Australian newspaper articles
• The full text of the PANDORA web archive
• Metadata from the Open Library and the Hathi Trust – public domain digitised book collections – and a selection of 120,000 books from the Internet Archive
• Tags from Wikipedia
• Manuscript finding aids
• Data from major online biographical services (converted to EAC)

Need to improve the ANBD
• Trove would be improved if the ANBD were more comprehensive
• Collection level descriptions– Reimagining Libraries: The “Lists” Project
– Local history and other special collections
• Trove would be improved if the ANBD were more up to date– Public library de-selection activities are an obvious
case

Getting items from other libraries
• Libraries Australia has had “enhanced requesting” since 2005
• There is a need to resolve how to migrate this workflow to Trove

Trove – built on relationships
• Harvest metadata from contributors
• Build relationships with “aggregator partners”
![Page 14: Warwick Cathro Assistant Director-General Resource Sharing and Innovation National Library of Australia Trove – a service built on collaboration OCLC Asia.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051418/5697bfdf1a28abf838cb2b0e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Libraries
• Libraries Australia is the vehicle for content contribution
• The Libraries Australia Advisory Committee will provide advice on both services
• Libraries also provide Dublin Core metadata, manuscript finding aids, collection summaries
![Page 15: Warwick Cathro Assistant Director-General Resource Sharing and Innovation National Library of Australia Trove – a service built on collaboration OCLC Asia.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051418/5697bfdf1a28abf838cb2b0e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
National cultural institutions
• The NLA has strong relationships with:– National Film & Sound Archive– National Archives of Australia– National Museum of Australia– Australian War Memorial– Museum of Australian Democracy
• Think of use cases: Australian Prime Ministers, Nellie Melba, etc.
• Accept metadata in any format• Confer one-on-one and through forums such as
Heads of Collecting Institutions
![Page 16: Warwick Cathro Assistant Director-General Resource Sharing and Innovation National Library of Australia Trove – a service built on collaboration OCLC Asia.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051418/5697bfdf1a28abf838cb2b0e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Government agencies
• Include bodies with a strong “information provision” mandate:– Australian Bureau of Statistics– GeoScience Australia– Bureau of Meteorology– IP Australia
• Think of use case: Australian wine production • Work towards contribution of ABS dataset
metadata using standards such as DDI (Data Documentation Initiative)
![Page 17: Warwick Cathro Assistant Director-General Resource Sharing and Innovation National Library of Australia Trove – a service built on collaboration OCLC Asia.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051418/5697bfdf1a28abf838cb2b0e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Museums and archives
• The NLA may not be the ideal coordinator, despite the success of Picture Australia
• Would prefer to work with “aggregator partners” • Possible example: CAN (Collections Australia
Network)• These bodies must be sustainably resourced to
liaise with museums and archives and to aggregate their data
• The NLA could make its technical infrastructure available to these partners
![Page 18: Warwick Cathro Assistant Director-General Resource Sharing and Innovation National Library of Australia Trove – a service built on collaboration OCLC Asia.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051418/5697bfdf1a28abf838cb2b0e/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Research community
• NLA has worked closely with this community since 2004
• Currently harvest university repository metadata for Australian Research Online and Trove
• Currently working with ANDS (Australian National Data Service) on the Party Infrastructure Project
• Could regard ANDS as a potential “aggregator partner”
![Page 19: Warwick Cathro Assistant Director-General Resource Sharing and Innovation National Library of Australia Trove – a service built on collaboration OCLC Asia.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051418/5697bfdf1a28abf838cb2b0e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
E-resource vendors
• They have extensive and rich collections of article-level metadata
• NLA is seeking to form partnerships with them • The Reimagining Libraries “Open Borders
Project” will develop a framework for users to discover and access e-resources from their multiple affiliated libraries
![Page 20: Warwick Cathro Assistant Director-General Resource Sharing and Innovation National Library of Australia Trove – a service built on collaboration OCLC Asia.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051418/5697bfdf1a28abf838cb2b0e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The public
• There is no Australian equivalent of Digital NZ (yet)
• Contribution pool for digitised pictures in Flickr• Tagging and commenting facilities in Trove• NLA needs to define a collection strategy and
ingest mechanism for contribution of content beyond pictures
![Page 21: Warwick Cathro Assistant Director-General Resource Sharing and Innovation National Library of Australia Trove – a service built on collaboration OCLC Asia.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051418/5697bfdf1a28abf838cb2b0e/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Conclusions
• Trove is a powerful tool facilitating access by end users to Australian collections
• There are connections on a number of levels between Trove and Libraries Australia
• There is a need to expand Trove’s content through stronger relationships between the NLA and other Australian collections
• In some cases the “aggregator partner” approach will be pursued
