Notas del editor

  1. Jun Takagi, 2002, for JAL What do you think about libraries? Some thought provokers: When was the first online library catalogue in Australia? Weapons Research Establishment, SA mid 1950s First collaborative purchase of a dataset loaded to a computer 1968 Chemical Abstracts CSIRO and Melbourne Universities When did the national union catalogue go online? 1981
  2. So we are now born digital – or are we born information professionals? (Ronan, daughter of a CSU Graduate Jill Stephens)
  3. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFZ0z5Fm-Ng
  4. In the twenty first century the expectations of librarians and users have radically changed. The development of the Internet, in particular the World Wide Web, has resulted in a radical change in access to information and services. Australians have been rapid adopters of communications technologies, in particular the Internet. The December 18 2008 release of the ABS publication Household Use of Information Technology , Australia, 2007-08  (http://www.abs.gov.au/ausstats/abs@.nsf/Latestproducts/8146.0Main%20Features12007-08?opendocument&tabname=Summary&prodno=8146.0&issue=2007-08&num=&view=) found: As of June 30 2008 the total Broadband connections were at 4.3 million (52% of all households), an increase of 22% on last years total. The Australian Capital Territory has the highest proportion of Broadband connections, at 68% of households while Tasmania (39%) and South Australia (42%) were the lowest. Other states ranged from 51 to 55%. 67% of Australian households had home Internet access and 75% of households had access to a computer. This is more than a five-fold increase in the number of household Internet connections over the last ten years. Socio-economic characteristics of households continue to influence the rate of computer, Internet and Broadband connections across Australia. For example, in relation to Broadband access: Metropolitan areas had considerably higher proportion of Broadband connections (57%) than other areas (43%). Households with children under 15 had higher Broadband access (67%) compared to households without (46%). Those households with an income of $120,000 had substantially higher rates of access (81%) than households incomes of less than $40,000 (38%). Getting to places remains a key challenge – (also see http://www.abs.gov.au/AUSSTATS/abs@.nsf/Lookup/4102.0Chapter10002008)
  5. Library use is also a major part of the lives of Australians. For NSLA libraries: In 2007-2008: 7.7 million people visited our libraries; 132 million people visited our websites; 392 terabytes of digital collections were stored; $26.7 million was spent purchasing resources for collections; $3.9 billion was the total asset value of our collections; and $972 million was the total asset value of our buildings/sites. The most recent statistics from the Australian Bureau of Statistics record 108 million visits to local government, national and state libraries in 2005-06, local government libraries account for over 95% of visits. More public library branches than McDonalds.

  11. Ask Now is a chat reference service initiative of NSLA. A user can ask a question and receive an answer immediately. The service is available via the Internet can be used by anyone with a standard PC and Internet connection, from Monday to Friday from 9.00am to 7.00pm (50 hours per week), taking advantage of the different time zones across Australia. Members: All state and territory libraries of Australia and the National Library of Australia, National Library of New Zealand and Library Board of Singapore, 15 public library partners: 5 from NSW, 4 from WA, 3 from Vic and 3 from SA Hours of operation: Monday to Friday 9am to 7pm Australian Eastern Standard Time, with 3 operators (seats) answering questions simultaneously. Client profile: Most clients are from the metropolitan areas of the eastern states of Australia, Under 16 year olds are the largest group, followed by 16-24 years What clients like about the service: It is interactive and in real time The operators are especially helpful with Internet links and a transcript is automatically sent The chat software is easy to use and available to anyone with an Internet connection The tone is less formal than with other reference services State of the Service, 4th Quarter 2008 4th quarter 2008: 4569 questions 4th quarter 2007: 4064 questions Patron profile and feedback Data is based on information supplied by patrons in the AskNow entry and exit survey forms. 88% of patrons from Australia 3% of patrons from New Zealand ? 9% patrons from other countries Patrons are sent a feedback form at the end of each chat session. The average response rate is 10%, for this quarter we received 9.5% The good … “ Absolutely amazing. The librarian was extremely fast and helpful. Also very kind! I searched for hours and hours and it took them literally less than a minute! Will highly recommend!!” “ I was amazed that the person had so much info so readily available, and also how they were able to send it right to my screen – amazing!” … with the bad “ I thought by contacting the SLNSW, I would get in to your collection as my request is specific to your collection. However the librarian trying to answer my question was in the NT!” “ Felt I was given the easiest response, i.e. ‘can’t really help’, without other options being explored. Maybe there were no other options ” Suggestions … “ It would really help if you extended your closing time for the evening because most people stay up late doing their assignments” “ It would be a good idea to make it so you can visit different pages all at once, like the Windows Vista Internet browser”

Government services example: Increasing demand. Most librarians report increasing client use of individual Government websites, for both content information and process or transaction based purposes. An invisible draw on resources. While libraries were aware of some high-demand government online services, librarians rarely had an overview of all government services accessed by their clients. As a result, government online services created a largely invisible demand on public library resources. Unintended impacts. Government agencies put services online in order to provide better access to their users to and streamline their own operations. Most agencies do not understand that their actions place extra burdens on public libraries.” (State Library of New South Wales 2004, p. 1)
  19. ABS Labour force survey, Australia 2005 http://www.alia.org.au/emplocyment/labour.market
  20. HALF of all Australians lack the minimum reading, writing and problem-solving skills to cope with life in the modern world. A new survey on life skills by the Australian Bureau of Statistics reveals 46 per cent of the population, or seven million people, would struggle to understand the meaning of newspaper and magazine articles or documentation such as maps and payslips. And 53 per cent reached just the second of five levels in a practical numeracy test, while 70 per cent, the equivalent of 10.6 million people, only managed to progress to level 2 in a series of problem-solving exercises. "Level 3 is regarded by the survey developers as the minimum required for individuals to meet the complex demands of everyday life and work in the emerging knowledge-based economy,“ said the ABS report, Adult Literacy and Life Skills. http://www.ausstats.abs.gov.au/ausstats/subscriber.nsf/0/B22A471C221C7BADCA2573CA00207F10/$File/42280_2006%20(reissue).pdf
