Presentation to staff of the State Library of New South Wales on 13 March 2013. Focusing specifically on Wikipedians and Wikimedians, this is the first of a series of presentations about how different user groups utilise the resources of that library.

1. Online information seeking
behaviour and online practices
User group - Wikipedians

2. Three Policy Pillars
• Neutral Point of View
(NPOV)
• Verifiability (V)
• No Original Research
(NOR)
This means that Wikipedia’s quality is
dependent upon the ability to cite
third party reliable sources.

3. We do the same thing,
for the same reason, for the same people,
in the same medium.
We just go about it in different ways.

4. Artichoke.

23. First, a little bit about
copyright....
Nate.erlin - CC-by-NC-ND http://www.flickr.com/photos/nateerlin/520085236/

24. “Free”
•
the freedom to use the work and enjoy the benefits of using it
•
the freedom to study the work and to apply knowledge acquired
from it
•
the freedom to make and redistribute copies, in whole or in part,
of the information or expression
•
the freedom to make changes and improvements, and to
distribute derivative works

26. Re-use!

27. ç

28. In short, this means that a
scan of a PD 2d
thing is ALSO PD.
But a photograph of a PD
3d thing is copyrighted.

29. This conflicts with the SLNSW policy which claims
several rights over the use and access of PD content.

32. Which way am I expected to cite this picture?
The way I actually cite it:
http://acms.sl.nsw.gov.au/item/itemDetailPaged.aspx?itemID=186851
Compare this to the NLA approach. Catalogue number is the same as the permanent URL.

33. So.... I want to use the HD
multimedia that I know exists,
and I know is digitised, and I
know is Public Domain.
How do I find it?
How do I use it, cite it?

34. A test to find:
The Australian Regenerative Refrigerator
http://www.dictionaryofsydney.org/image/25974
(answer is: http://acms.sl.nsw.gov.au/item/itemDetailPaged.aspx?itemID=825401 )

35. Alternate example, for something
that is displayed online
http://
acms.sl.nsw.gov.au/
item/itemLarge.aspx?
itemID=456492
https://
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
File:Norman_Selfe_pr
oposal_for_Sydney_H

This time it is findiable, but citation is across three URLs:
itemDetailPaged, itemLarge, & itemPopLarger
