Mal Booth commented on Digital Convergence at the AWM Thanks Jo, you are too kind! I like ’Imagine & Create’ as additional librarian responsibilities in the digital age. We have to have advanced a bit beyond what librarians did 600 years ago by now. 9 months ago
Mal Booth commented on Digital Convergence at the AWM Unfortunately Slideshare still cannot get all hyperlinks to work in the presentations we upload. I’ve put in a help request about this ages ago and all they say is they are working on it. So, some of the hyperlinks used in this presentation do not work. Too bad, so sad. 9 months ago

Mal Booth commented on Digitisation, Digital Preservation & Web2.0 at the Australian War Memorial Here are a few examples of the ways we’ve started using Web2.0 features to tour the web and put our content out well beyond our home website, reaching bigger social networks and engaging new audiences at the curatorial level. http://www.awm.gov.au/podcast/index.asp RSS underpins much of Web2.0, by allowing the public to select their subscriptions and then have them delivered to them on a regular basis. The links takes you to our podcasts page. This was our first foray with Web2.0 and RSS. http://apps.new.facebook.com/artshare/ We have just gone live with ArtShare - a program developed by Brooklyn Museum to allow for selected art works to be featured on Facebook profile pages. http://blog.awm.gov.au/awm/2008/03/19/hmas-sydney/ http://frommelbin.blogspot.com/ The blogs have been the simplest, easiest to use model that has allowed our curators there own voice on the web about our collections and their work. WordPress is used by the Memorial and some of our staff use Blogger (externally). http://www.facebook.com/pages/Canberra-Australia/Australian-War-Memorial/7244252524 Facebook plunges us into growing social networks with more reach than we have and allows us to communicate with those more comfortable in that space. http://www.flickr.com/groups/awm/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/australianwarmemorial/ Flickr is also a two-way process allowing us to share images with everyone and to learn from the public’s visual pointers to their interests in us. http://www.youtube.com/user/AustWarMemorial YouTube is another vital way to engage a large audience interested in the moving image. We think it is important to re-use our content and provide interpretation of it on that large network. http://www.pictureaustralia.org/ We’ve long been a major contributor to Picture Australia, a fantastic portal to cultural images from NLA. It is a great model for further collaborative projects along the same lines. http://www.ning.com/ We use Ning internally as a social network platform to share ideas, learn about social media, discuss proposals and to help move projects forward. http://www.awm.gov.au/research/browse.asp And we’ve started using del.icio.us social bookmarking to leave muddy footprint trails across our large website for content that isn’t well exposed or that easy to find. We are still learning what del.icio.us can do for us. 2 years ago
Mal Booth commented on Digitisation, Digital Preservation & Web2.0 at the Australian War Memorial OK, some notes on this slide as not everything will be self-evident from the links or words (kinda clockwise from Commons): http://www.flickr.com/commons We have sent a list of our images to Flickr Commons and our institution is likely to be added on 11/11/08. http://creativecommons.org/international/au/ We are seriously looking at CreativeCommons attributions to cover content that we’ve developed for our presence on the web, so as to enable its appropriate re-use. http://buddypress.org/ As we use WordPress as our blogging platform, we will probably take a good look at BuddyPress when it goes live later in 2008. It may extend our blogs to become more of a hosted social network. http://yourarchives.nationalarchives.gov.uk/index.php?title=Home_page Your Archives (from TNA in the UK) might offer us a good model to facilitate public contributions and a bit of personalisation relating to our archival collections. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QR_Code PR codes might be used by us in several ways to facilitate the provision of packets of information to mobile devices with cameras in and the required software. We are looking at this now. http://www.awm.gov.au/encyclopedia/index.asp Currently we maintain our own military history encyclopedia and it is a pretty big drain on our own resources to keep adding new content, so maybe migrating the content to Wikipedia.org (and helping to manage it) or hosing a wiki where the community could contribute will work for us. http://go.footnote.com/thewall/ We really like the mash-up (linked) to the US Vietnam Veterans Memorial and we are trying to trial much the same thing with our Roll of Honour. Our trial will probably focus on the Korean War panels. 2 years ago
Mal Booth commented on Catch the Wind: Digital Preservation and the Real World Yes, to the first question and we are working towards a yes on the second. The implementation of a new Enterprise Content Management System at the AWM will give us (amongst other things) an integrated DAMS and a web content management system, facilitating both preservation and access to our digitised collections. We intend to head towards trusted digital repository certification and also intend to use preservation metadata within file formats that are based on recognised international standards. Having said that, much of this is still a moving target and frankly, I doubt anyone anywhere will ever meet all of the requirements. It is a worthy aim, but extremely difficult to attain given the scope and nature of our museum’s collection which comprises everything from relics, art work, film and audio files to all of the formats found in library and archival collections. I think that this is where practitioners and participants differ from those engaged in theory and setting so-called "best-practice" standards. Thanks for sharing a great presentation. 2 years ago
Mal Booth commented on Catch the Wind: Digital Preservation and the Real World I agree whole-heartedly, but why is it that a lot of digitised cultural material in the UK seems only to be available to certain member institutions or universities or those who pay subscriptions? We provide our digitised content for free on www.awm.gov.au as a nationally funded cultural institution in Australia. We are also working hard right now to preserve it (see comments on slides #6, I think). I think the message of this slide and the rest of your presentation is spot on and consistent with what I have been saying in Australia for some years now. Digitisation programs in cultural institutions must be about BOTH access and preservation. 2 years ago
Mal Booth commented on From Avatars to Advocacy thanks for sharing, it is a really useful slide show! loved the eight steps towards the end. 2 years ago
Mal Booth commented on Digitisation Workshop Pres 2008(V1) Some of the links used in this presentation haven’t been picked up at all by slideshare, so you’ll need to read the notes at the bottom of the screen as well. 2 years ago

Mal Booth commented on Info Services Conference Presentation 2007 Can openness to broader user involvement in things like folksonomies and wikis allow you to provide levels of description and context you’d only ever dreamed of? Is malicious intent really that big a risk and how do we know before we try it? 3 years ago
