University of Canberra Library Maintained by keepers of the materials, metadata accessed via TROVE and Google Scholar University of Melbourne It is almost impossible to imagine the research possibilities that could be realised by the increased availability of quality digitised material. The ability to create new research data sets creates potential to analyse the content of these digitised resources and combine them in new ways. New research data raises new research questions and outcomes. Through working with early adopter, high profile projects and significant content we hope to attract further funding and collaborators. We expect to attract new research projects with dedicated funding similar to our early experiences. University of Newcastle National Library or National Archives are possibilities University of New England UNE has made a long standing commitment to provide archival facilities for the New England and North West of NSW. Part of this commitment would have to be the ongoing storage of digital research material from the collections donated by the public. That said, it would be hoped that once the records are created by a national programme, then the ongoing storage and migration of this material would be an organisation with the resources of the National Library or the National Archives. University of Queensland Hopefully if a national digitisation program was established the major stakeholders would identify this as an issue and make recommendations eg subscription models. It would be important that the material was of interest that ongoing funds could be found. University of the Sunshine Coast One would hope that such a corpus would be considered significant enough to warrant ongoing government support (??) University of Sydney It can be distributed depending on partnership with central metadata harvesting. There will need to be commitments from participants to ensure the long term maintenance and access to these collections. There will be a need for appropriate project management University of Western Australia This will depend on the architecture chosen for delivery of the digitised material. A distributed structure, where each institution is responsible for exposing its own digital objects to a national harvesting service, will require local support and maintenance. A more aggregated model, where (for example) state-based repositories are hosted and maintained by a small number of large institutions, would be easier for smaller institutions to contribute to. Cloud-based storage solutions would be preferable, particularly in the academic sector. University of Western Sydney Clearly sustainability issues are paramount. Much has been/is still being learned about ensuring wide access to both research outputs and research data as a result of the various ANDS funded projects across NSW. Lessons learnt could serve to inform future sustainability. It is possible that a set % of research grants could be ‘garnisheed’ to assist in sustainability. University of Wollongong NLA - Trove Victoria University It is almost impossible to imagine maintaining support for such projects without funding. We expect to attract new research projects with dedicated funding similar to our current experience. APPENDIX 1

Bond University The School of Business Discussion Papers published in hardcopy July 1990 – August 1998, have been digitised and placed in the University’s digital repository, e-publications@bond. Digitisation of the Bond University Law journal The National Legal Eagle published in hardcopy 1995-to present has been undertaken and uploaded into e-publications@bond. Out of print books are also digitised and uploaded into the repository, after thorough investigation of the copyright status and receipt of the appropriate permission. Central Queensland University • Theses – ad hoc as ILL requests come in. • 1000 + Historical photographs – Central Queensland Capricornia collection. • 500+ Research publications for CQUniversity’s Institutional Repository, ACQUIRE as part of ASHER project and ongoing for HERDC and ERA. Charles Darwin University AraDA – digitising the material in the East Timor Collection that is out of copyright. Funding was an ARC LIEF grant in 2001. LAAL – Living Archive for of Aboriginal Languages – just approved – funding from LIEF grant 2011. NT Historical Photographs Collection – gradually digitising collection of old, out-of-copyright photographs Curtin University Curtin University Library currently has a range research collections which have been made discoverable and accessible via online archives and which have significant proportions of digitised content. Building on the successful establishment of the John Curtin Prime Ministerial Library (JCPML) (http://john.curtin.edu.au/) and its digital archive focusing on the life and times of John Curtin, the Library has accepted donations of other research collections to date. They are • Personal papers of former Western Australian Premier Dr Geoff Gallop (1890- ) http://john.curtin.edu.au/gallop/index.html • Online annotated bibliography of noted author Elizabeth Jolley (1965-2010) http://john.curtin.edu.au/jolley/index.html • Personal papers of former Western Australian Premier Dr Carmen Lawrence (1978-2008) http://john.curtin.edu.au/lawrence/index.html • Project Endeavour: Jon Sanders' Triple Circumnavigation of the World Collection’ (1985-2010) http://john.curtin.edu.au/endeavour/index.html • WA Folklore Archive (1980- )- http://john.curtin.edu.au/folklore/index.html The JCPML collection is the largest and encompasses approximately 500 shelf metres; Gallop and Lawrence collections are both approximately 25 m, Jolley is 6m, Project Endeavour is 10m and Folklore is also 10m. The collections are primarily document focussed but also include audiovisual materials, photographs, and some objects. The Library has also digitised selected content (pamphlets and out of print/out of copyright books) from its Women’s Health Collection (http://john.curtin.edu.au/womenshealth/). In general the Library has covered the cost of developing the collections, including digitising content and creation of websites to promote the discoverability and access to material. Edith Cowan University Only those areas excluded in this survey. Nothing outside of those areas. La Trobe University • Out of print and some special collection works – 6 books by Walker, William Sylvester, 1846-1926 July 14 – 21 2011 • Historic city plans – 2 volumes of collected plans for Bendigo • Videos of performances funded as part of an ARC project, 4.5 TB of files created • Six archaeological drawings from field work Monash University The range of digitised materials available through the Monash University Repository (http://arrow.monash.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Index) includes and unpublished published works like books, book chapters, journal articles,conference papers, manuscripts, theses, technical reports, working and discussion papers, and conference posters. Material generated by researchers forms an important and growing component of material being digitised. These include data sets, collections of images, audio and video files . Murdoch University Nothing as yet. The Irene Greenwood Digitisation Project is our first involvement in the digitisation of any materials held by the Library. Queensland University of Technology To date the Library has digitised: • The Sugar Industry Collection • OzCase – law materials See http://www.digitalrepository.qut.edu.au/digitalcollections/ And some of the fulltext resources available in the AUSTLIT Children’s Literature Digital Resources collection http://www.austlit.edu.au/specialistDatasets/ChildLit/CLDR Swinburne University of Technology The Library retrospectively digitised all HERDC material from before 2007 with funding from our research office. In addition, for future value we’ve digitised a valuable out of print book to be re-released as a free online text; old university council minutes; old course handbooks; and archival photographs, slides and audiovisual material. We are also responsible for digitising course readings for lecturers. University of Adelaide The following is a sample of material digitised from the Barr Smith Library Rare Books & Special Collections: • RA Fisher Digital Archive (approx 780 items) – funded through the royalties from the publication of Fisher’s Collected papers – royalties donated by Prof Henry Bennett of Dept of genetics – see http://www.adelaide.edu.au/library/special/mss/fisher/gateway.html • On Dit (U of Adelaide student newspaper 1932-2008 - 1353 files) – special project undertaken in periods of low demand by the Digital Resources Management Centre which produces online student resources • Selected manuscripts and photographs from the Daisy Bates Papers • Manuscripts and texts relating to indigenous languages egg George Taplin’s mss ‘Vocabulary and grammar of the language of the aborigines who inhabit the shores of the Lakes and lower Murray’ – to support the reintroduction of indigenous language programmes • Selections from the German Settlers in SA Papers egg Diary of Joh. Hansen 1841 • Photographs and selected items from the Sir Mark Oliphant Papers (in response to remote research queries) • Selected out of print items from the Pacific Collection egg ‘Statistics of the Tonga Islands for the half years ended 30 June, 1887, 1888 and 1889 : Trade and Commerce’ and ‘Phœnix guano from McKean’s Island, Pacific Ocean : imported by the Phœnix Guano Company’ / Williams & Haven, general agents (1851) - (in response to remote research queries) • Theatre programmes from the Theatre Collection linked to Ausstage (approx 70 items) plus approx 40 programmes and images of Ballets Russes material – in support of the Ballets Russes ARC project. Other programmes and images are added via our Theatre Programme Collection Volunteers Project. • 5 texts from the Alan Wilkie – Frediswyde Hunter-Watts Theatre Collection including the Australian section of Wilkie’s unpublished autobiography • Gillen ms of ‘Notebooks on anthropology of the Aranda people and Aranda vocabulary’ (5 volumes) - in support of the Spencer and Gillen ARC project • Approx 70 texts from the Rare Book Collection, including D’Urville’s Voyage de la corvette l’Astrolabe : exécuté par ordre du roi, pendant les années 1826, 1827, 1828, 1829M. in support of the Baudin Legacy ARC Project
The Library does not have a formal digitisation program in place at the moment. However UB is currently participating in a collaborative pilot project to create records, including digitised images, for items from the Art & Historical Collection, designed to share records with other Victorian collecting organisations and the general public. University of Canberra Library N/A
The following is a sample of material digitised from the Library collections in the last 12 months:
With the exception of the Speculum these have not been funded projects. The following link has the broad range of digitised material available via the digital repository http://library.unimelb.edu.au/digitalcollections/cultural_and_special_collections Work is also undertaken on a ‘on demand’ basis for research projects i.e. questionnaires, surveys, medical records, CPA archives (majority of this work is fee for service) Corporate support – Digitisation of invoices for University corporate systems, Minutes of governance committees of the University , legal agreements (latter two are fee for service) . Library collections and archival collections digitised are all potential research material. Much of this material is in hard copy i.e. books, prints, loose leaf archival material is directed through the central digitisation service. Although a portion of this is object based and in particular collections like those held by the Grainger Museum require digital photography and rendering into 3D objects to provide the best online access experience. The Library also has central resources for professional digital photography and expertise in creation of 3D objects as well as digital media services (audio and video digitisation) all on a fee for service basis. Digitisation of hard copy Library collections are primarily undertaken through internal resources but grants and sponsorship are sought where possible to increase throughput.
