Subject: National Bibliographic Database
This message is posted to Kinetica-L
The coverage and size of the National Bibliographic Database has grown
considerably over the last six months. From July to December 2000, over
1.47 million holdings have been added to the NBD. This is almost the same
number of holdings added during the twelve months from July 1999 to June
2000. This pleasing result is due to strong online contribution, smooth
operation of the Batch*Link service, and some large retrospective loads from
several university libraries.
Thank you to all contributors to the National Bibliographic Database.

FRANCIS
The FRANCIS databases, known for its broad international, scholarly coverage
of Humanities and Social Sciences disciplines, is now available from
SilverPlatter.
FRANCIS covers the key humanities and social sciences areas with abstracts
of articles, books and other documents. Citation descriptors are in both
English and French and abstracts are mostly in English.
For a relatively low price, FRANCIS provides exceptional coverage of more
than 4,000 journals. FRANCIS is an excellent database to expand an existing
collection of humanities and social sciences references or serve as a
scholarly collection by itself.
The FRANCIS database consists of a current file with the last 9-10 years of
data, and a backfile available for a one-time fee, for use during a
subscriber's current subscription period.

Subject: Guidelines for web creators - for Ozlib announce
The National Library of Australia has just produced a set of guidelines to
assist the creators and publishers of web resources called "Safeguarding
Australia's web resources : guidelines for creators and publishers"
http://www.nla.gov.au/guidelines/2000/webresources.html
The guidelines provide advice on creating, describing, naming and managing
web resources to facilitate their ongoing use. The practices that are
recommended will make it easier to carry out future preservation actions,
which may be necessary in the longer term to maintain continued access to
important resources.
A printed version of the guidelines is also available and may be obtained by
contacting the Electronic Unit, National Library of Australia by email at

From: Sue Guelman <sguelman@nla.gov.au> (by way of Tony Barry)
Subject: ILRS Code Launched
Interlibrary Resource Sharing Code launched
Australian Library and Information Association President, Professor Mairéa=
d
Browne, launched the new Interlibrary Resource Sharing (ILRS) Code last
night at a reception held in the Australian National Maritime Museum,
Sydney, hosted by the National Library of Australia.
Professor Browne said, "library users nominate the ability to obtain
resources from beyond their own libraries and institutions as one of the
most valued library services. The new Code will help libraries to improve
the reliability and consistency of interlibrary loan and document delivery
services and give more choice and flexibility to users".
She encouraged all libraries to adopt the new Code.
What does the new Code deliver?
The ILRS Code updates the Australian Interlending Code, which was last
substantially reviewed by the former Australian Council of Libraries and
Information Services in 1994. The new Code delivers:
=2E flexibility and choice to meet varied user needs;
clearly defined and unambiguous service standards, for example, for
turnaround time and delivery method;
=2E a specified turnaround time for a core level of service;
=2E greater predicability and consistency; and
=2E increased incentives for libraries to improve their interlibrary
loan and document delivery supplying operations.
What is in the new Code?
There are new service standards and core principles for interlibrary loan
and document supply transactions between libraries. The service standards
set out four levels of service:
Core (5-day turnaround)
Priority (2-day turnaround)
Rush (1-day turnaround)
Express (2-hour turnaround)
There is a Default, or fall-back, level when the Core service cannot be met.
There is a scale of recommended prices based on the current rates.
The Code is available from the following web sites:
Australian Library and Information Association:
http://www.alia.org.au/interlibrary.lending/
National Library of Australia:
http://www.nla.gov.au/initiatives/ilrscode/index.html
Who will use it and when?
The Code has been endorsed by the peak library organisations (the National
Library of Australia, the Council of Australian University Librarians, the
Council of Australian State Libraries and the Australian Library and
Information Association) for adoption by all Australian libraries.
Libraries will commence using the Code in the first quarter of 2001.
How do I find out more?
To accompany the Code there is a more detailed Guide to best practice for
interlibrary resource sharing in Australia
(http://www.nla.gov.au/initiatives/ilrscode/ilrsbp.html).
A series of one-day workshops conducted by AIMA Training and Consultancy
Services will assist participants develop implementation strategies for
their own libraries, including processes, procedures and policies within the
library, for users and in dealing with other libraries. Workshops will be
held in all capital cities, and some regional centres, from late February.
You can get more information and express an interest in attending a workshop
at the AIMA web site: http://www.aima.org.au/.
Members of the National Resource Sharing Working Group (NRSWG) are available
to attend meetings to discuss the Code. The NRSWG welcomes comments and
questions. See the NRSWG web page for contact details:
http://www.nla.gov.au/initiatives/nrswg/
How was it developed?
The Code is the culmination of eighteen months of intensive work by the
NRSWG, with contributions from many colleagues. The NRSWG researched
Australian and overseas interlending practices, codes and standards;
consulted libraries and users; and mapped requesting and supplying
processes.
The NRSWG was set up in 1999 by the National Library of Australia with
support from the Australian Library and Information Association, the Council
of Australian University Librarians, the Council of Australian State
Libraries and the Australian Library Collections Task Force. It is a
committee of interlibrary loan and document supply practitioners and
managers from all library sectors. The NRSWG was established in response to
widespread concerns among libraries and library users about the
effectiveness of Australia's national resource sharing system. Their brief
is to ensure a robust, reliable and cost-effective interlending system is in
place to support Australian libraries in meeting the needs of their users.

Subject: Online Document Supply Guide
Dear Copylibbers
In order to help librarians comply with the Digital Agenda Amendments to the
document supply provisions of the Copyright Act (ss. 49 and 50), I have
created this small online guide. It's a java applet that allows you to check
whether a specific type of document supply is permitted under the Act.
It's at: http://www.digital.org.au/alcc/docsup.html
I'd welcome any feedback on the Guide. Feel free to pass the URL onto other
librarians, particularly those involved in document supply.
You can also find a 'paste-up' of the entire Copyright Act containing all
Digital Agenda Amendments at http://www.digital.org.au/related/related.htm
(courtesy of Scaleplus).

Subject: Safeguarding Australia's web resources : guidelines for creators
The National Library of Australia has just produced a set of guidelines to
assist the creators and publishers of web resources called "Safeguarding
Australia's web resources : guidelines for creators and publishers"
http://www.nla.gov.au/guidelines/2000/webresources.html
The guidelines provide advice on creating, describing, naming and managing
web resources to facilitate their ongoing use. The practices that are
recommended will make it easier to carry out future preservation actions,
which may be necessary in the longer term to maintain continued access to
important resources.
A printed version of the guidelines is also available and may be obtained
by contacting the Electronic Unit, National Library of Australia by email
at elecunit@nla.gov.au or by phone at (02) 62621140

Subject: [ONLINE 2001] Harnad keynote paper
Stevan Harnad's provocative keynote paper and inventive solution for an
information anomaly, "For Whom the Gate Tolls? How and Why to Free the
Refereed Research Literature Online Through Author/Institution
Self-Archiving, Now", is now available at the Information Online
Conference 2001 site at www.csu.edu.au/special/online2001.
ABSTRACT:
All refereed journals will soon be available online; most of them
already are. This means that anyone will be able to access them from any
networked desk-top. The literature will all be interconnected by
citation, author, and keyword/subject links, allowing for unheard-of
power and ease of access and navigability. Successive drafts of
pre-refereeing preprints will be linked to the official refereed draft,
as well as to any subsequent corrections, revisions, updates, comments,
responses, and underlying empirical databases, all enhancing the
self-correctiveness, interactivity and productivity of scholarly and
scientific research and communication in remarkable new ways.
New scientometric indicators of digital impact are also emerging
<http://opcit.eprints.org> to chart the online course of knowledge. But
there is still one last frontier to cross before science reaches the
optimal and the inevitable: Just as there is no longer any need for
research or researchers to be constrained by the access-blocking
restrictions of paper distribution, there is no longer any need to be
constrained by the impact-blocking financial fire-walls of
Subscription/Site-License/Pay-Per-View (S/L/P) tolls for this give-away
literature. Its author/researchers have always donated their research
reports for free (and its referee/researchers have refereed for free),
with the sole goal of maximizing their impact on subsequent research (by
accessing the eyes and minds of fellow-researchers, present and future)
and hence on society.
Generic (OAi-compliant) software is now available free so that
institutions can immediately create Eprint Archives in which their
authors can self-archive all their refereed papers for free for all
forever <http://www.eprints.org/>. These interoperable Open Archives
<http://www.openarchives.org> will then be harvested into global,
jointly searchable "virtual archives" (e.g., <http://arc.cs.odu.edu/>).
"Scholarly Skywriting" in this PostGutenberg Galaxy will be dramatically
(and measurably) more interactive and productive, spawning its own new
digital metrics of productivity and impact, allowing for an
online "embryology of knowledge."
