This was a fascinating presentation – Carol’s research spans decades
and the comparative data collected over time provides, thanks to carol’s
thoughtful analysis, many great insights into reading, publishing and the role
of libraries.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Thanks to
Charles Sturt University, the University of New South Wales, Australian
National University and John Metcalfe Memorial Foundation for bringing Carol to
Australia and supporting the research.</div>

She talked
about her research, with Donald King, into reading and scholarship from 1997 to
present including “Critical incident of last reading” for which the following
questions were asked:</div>

Guess what - they are reading! <br />
<br />
Some highlights:<br />
<ul>
<li>75 per cent of young Americans (those under the age of 30) read a book in
the traditional print format in the last year</li>
<li> per cent of young people read books in e-format, and 11 per cent chose to
listen to books in audio format</li>
<li>online reading is generally using computers or laptops(maybe its us oldies who are addicted to Kindles and ipads)</li>
<li> young Americans are e-reading long-form content.</li>
</ul>
<br />
Read Andy Richardsons good article <a href="http://www.researchinformation.info/news/news_story.php?news_id=1055">http://www.researchinformation.info/news/news_story.php?news_id=1055</a> and then the report <a href="http://libraries.pewinternet.org/2012/10/23/younger-americans-reading-and-library-habits/">http://libraries.pewinternet.org/2012/10/23/younger-americans-reading-and-library-habits/</a> <br />

other universities. Part of the collection at the University of Adelaide
is university archives, theses, formed collections e.g. Alpine collection which
includes ephemera, theatre collection. Digitisation of special
collections is critical. This raises the question do they remain unique, to which
the answer is yes and no. The University of Adelaide has digitised Fisher
collection. It now receives several thousand hits a month. They are now working
on the Braggs collection, which will be launched next week. The next
adventure is to seek to digitise in three dimensions material from the Bragg

organisational excellence to encourage continuous improvement. Third indicator
learning and growth - anticipate competences needed now and into the future -
professional capabilities. Final indicator is impact. To make us think,
challenges us to think about what we do differently, having an impact. Loosely
based on BSC. Impact and effect on student academic performance. engagement with
a range of studies. Collaboration success needs measurement, inter team
within the Library and collaboration across the institution. Will continue to
use client satisfaction. Accepting a form of narrative - accept this as a proxy

<br />
The Pew Foundation's Internet and American Life Project has just released a report on the future of big data. They asked digital stakeholders to weigh two scenarios for 2020 - one sketched out a relatively positive future where Big Data are drawn together in ways that will improve social, political, and economic intelligence and one expressed the view that Big Data could cause more problems than it solves between now and 2020. 53% opted for scenario 1 and 39% for scenario 2. It’s a very interesting report.<br />

Interestingly interest in use of various channels and software for communication from the university varied between 56.3% interested in asking the library questions through text messages and 54.3% interested in checking out e-books to less than 5% interested in using second life and 10% interested in using Twitter for this type of communication.Roxanne Missinghamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15989769691416146336noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4233701251100222760.post-57661811763011837302011-09-12T01:13:00.000-07:002011-09-12T01:13:40.263-07:00Recent reports of interest.1.<strong> Australia Report: Risks and Opportunities.</strong> Produced by the Australian Davos Connection in association with KPMG, it is designed to assist leaders across business, government and the wider community face the future better by understanding threats and opportunities, it analyses risks for Australia because facing the nation over the next decade.

<br />
<br />
<br />
Both articles make the claim is made that the Parliamentary Library “could also be forced to move some of its research archives to the National Library of Australia” in order to accommodate additional staff required for a Parliamentary Budget Office. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
No one said anything like this in evidence to the Joint Select Committee on the Parliamentary Budget Office. I do not envisage trying to find a new home for any of our “research archives” or collection materials. What I said about the collections, accommodation and the National Library (from the draft transcript) was:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
CHAIR—What of the collection would need to be moved, if any? <br />
<br />
Ms Missingham—Probably not a lot of the collection. We did have an expert in to look at our collection layout and there is some work we need to do to have the serials in better runs and have them in better access by rejigging the library. If the DPS staff were to leave, we would have probably an easier to navigate collection. It is certainly true to say as well that the use of our print collection is decreasing while the use of our electronic collection is increasing. However, our print collection grows every year by the size of parliamentary paper runs. Generally we only keep the key journals that are most relevant to us. If they are more marginal journals we do not keep them forever, and we have a relationship with the National Library, which, of course, has a very vast collection and they have a Parliamentary Services desk and we are very well served by that library. But we do not think there would be an enormous amount of shrinkage needed in the physical collection.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
In summary there are no plans to send our “research archives”, whatever that might be, to the National Library. <br />

The Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) was officially launched by the Hon Brendan O’Connor MP, Minister for Privacy and Freedom of Information (FOI). (media release is at <a href="http://www.oaic.gov.au/news/media_release_oaic_launch.html">http://www.oaic.gov.au/news/media_release_oaic_launch.html</a>) <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The new Office of the Australian Information Commissioner has been created to bring together three functions: <br />
<br />
• freedom of information functions, in particular, oversight of the operation of the Freedom of Information Act 1982 and review of decisions made by agencies and ministers under that Act;<br />
• privacy functions, conferred by the Privacy Act 1988 and other laws;<br />
<br />
• government information policy functions, conferred on the Australian Information Commissioner under the Australian Information Commissioner Act 2010.<br />
<br />
<br />
The new web site offers access to informative publications including speeches and fact sheets – a model of an easy to use website.<br />
<br />
Very importantly, the OAIC today released Issues Paper 1 Towards an Australian Government Information Policy. The Australian Information Commissioner has invited written comment on ten draft principles on open public sector information by 1 March 2011.
