AUTHOR: CLAUDINE CHIONH Public history is a field that seeks to return the study and interpretation of history to the wider community. While ’professional’ historians with academic training may be involved, public history is largely focused on and driven by ’amateurs’ – genealogists, local history societies and others who collect and collate sources and interpret and present them for a general audience. The increased use of the internet in recent years has created new opportunities for opening up sources and archives to the world, and for collaboration and public presentation of historical research. In this presentation I will describe two projects that aim to collect and publish historical sources on the web and to work with local and family historians to maintain these as dynamic historical resources.]]>

AUTHOR: LAURA SIMES Australia’s copyright laws are the chief means by which we as a society regulate the creation and distribution of knowledge. With the digital age well and truly upon us, individuals, corporations and Governments are grappling with how copyright law now ’fits’ in with this, with diverse opinions on how copyright law could or should adapt to meet these changes. This talk will look at a few current issues of interest in the world of copyright, and consider where we seem to be heading. Some developments, such as the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) suggest a preoccuopation with stronger copyright laws and penalties. On the other hand, the recent Review of the National Innovation System (aka the Cutler Report) presents a number of recommendations for more ’flexible’ copyright law, along with a suggestion that we need to look at copyright law in a different way than we have in the past.]]>

AUTHOR:ARTHUR SALE The Open Source movement, of which Linux is a shining example, is a showcase of how accessibility makes for excellence. A parallel thrust is currently being conducted in the research institutions and the publishing industries of the world to create Open Access to the world’s publicly funded research. Arthur Sale will trace the origin of the movement, its economics and the forces holding it back, and where we are now, particularly in Australia. Open Access, or OA, has very many more active participants than Open Source, and many more nay-sayers, cautious Scrooges, and ignorant people.

Links and info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Pfctdayelise/Safe_wiki Wikipedia, the free online encyclopaedia that anyone can edit, has long been criticised by educators and even banned from schools.

It’s still growing today, in literally hundreds of languages, and sister projects to provide other free reference works (such as textbooks) are also thriving. But it would have never been possible without the products of the free software movement, and more importantly, the principles.
