P. og Goodall, S. http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:10979 This paper describes some of the strategies used at a large research library such as the University of Queensland Library to support scholarly communication in new millennium. 2004-02-05T00:00:00Z Schmidt, Janine http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:10198 A new postgraduate Medical (MBBS) program at the University of Queensland has been the catalyst for the development of a range of University of Queensland (UQ) Cybrary initiatives, in areas of information resources, services and support. Over the past seven years the UQ Cybrary has successfully integrated library services into the problem-based learning and the e-learning environment of the MBBS Program. Information and communications technology developments have been harnessed by the Cybrary to support the needs of the Program which are dispersed throughout the vast state of Queensland. In particular, there has been a focus on using information and communications technology (ICT) to provide efficient and equitable access for all those involved with UQ city and rural health education. The Cybrary has risen to the challenge of providing information services and resources to support evidence-based practice (EBP) and lifelong learning, ultimately contributing towards achieving an outstanding medical workforce for the 21st Century. This paper will outline how the UQ Cybrary has addressed these issues, particularly in the areas of integration of online materials in the e-learning environment, the development and delivery of tailored information literacy programs and the use of ICT to support access to information and services. 2004-11-18T00:00:00Z Heath, Andrew og Kruesi, Lisa og Todd, Heather og McLeod, Pauline http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:183937 Fostering and encouraging professional involvement amongst our colleagues and those entering librarianship is of great importance to position the library profession in the future. Since 2005 great effort has been underway to champion the International Congress on Medical Librarianship (ICML) by the Convenors. Spreading the word about the Congress, hosted in Australia for the first time, has required participation at major library events held throughout the world and promulgation of ICML news as widely as possible. During this period Lisa Kruesi through the encouragement of her manager, Heather Todd, applied and received a MLA Cunningham Fellowship. The presentation is a case study, outlining the importance of seizing professional opportunities and the benefits of awards for librarians, organisations and clients. A copy of the report of the Cunningham Fellowship is provided. 2009-09-14T18:01:39Z Kruesi, Lisa http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:10652 The article explains customer relationship management systems and the way such systems are being planned and used in Australian businesses and libraries. 2004-03-15T00:00:00Z Weaver, Belinda http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:157787 This paper explains the Cybrary Skills in the Tertiary Environment programme offered at the University of Queensland Library to librarians from tertiary institutions in developing countries. Under the programme, librarians from several countries have worked and studied at UQ Library, in groups or in individual placements, for varying periods of time. The paper describes the generic programme, and looks at critical success factors. 2008-10-21T11:30:23Z Jordan, Elizabeth http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:11301 The Library has taken a leadership role in addressing the real needs of students in the 21st Century. It is working collaboratively with students and staff to meet their learning and teaching needs as new technological and service possibilities become available. The Library has integrated new web developments with traditional services to create Australia's first Cybrary - a 'virtual library' in a 'wired university'. The Cybrary is an indispensable, integrated approach to meet the information demands of lifelong learning and problem based teaching. It is a powerful support for flexible learning and an enhancement to flexible teaching. The University of Queensland Library has traditionally been an early adopter of technology. In the early 1970s online databases were searched for clients; then an electronic catalogue was introduced. When CD-ROM technology opened up the world of enduser access to electronic bibliographic databases the Library was among the first to provide its clients with these products. As a proactive electronic service provider, the Library has adopted and utilized Internet and Web technology as a vehicle to provide better service to its clients. As a result of its prompt and innovative adoption of leading edge technologies the Library has developed the Cybrary. The services offered through the Cybrary support the complex and varied learning journeys that both students and staff undertake in the current educational environment. Students and staff are able to control their own research and learning to a degree not known before. Last year the Library was recognised for its innovative Cybrary services when it jointly won the highly regarded Institutional Award for Services to Australian Students in the Australian Awards for University Teaching. The paper describes the Cybrary's components and the challenges faced in its implementation. 2004-02-04T00:00:00Z Schmidt, Janine og Turnbull, Deborah og Croud, Jennifer http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:131047 The paper examines the University of Queensland Library’s involvement with digitization through the development of the initial digital projects. • Digilib: Architectural Image Database • Images of Early Brisbane: Selected Images from the Alcock Collection • Hume Collection These projects were developed in accordance with the Library’s digitization goals that include: • The desire to make collections accessible in the first instance to staff and students of the University of Queensland and ultimately to researchers throughout the world, and • The need to preserve rare, fragile and unique items The images from these collections are being added to PictureAustralia as part of the Library’s goal of contributing to Australian digital resources. There is discussion of how these early trials are informing our future plans for digitization. 2008-02-20T14:08:56Z Bauer, Catherine og Follett, Roslyn http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:136424 2008-04-28T12:42:19Z Hall, Jenny http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:78182 2007-08-15T07:34:05Z Lui, W. http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:10650 Universities produce varying amounts of research each year. Yet finding much of that vast output can be problematical. Research findings are scattered across scores of different disciplines, in a range of different scholarly publications or collections of conference papers. Access to such material may be allowed to subscribers only. This limits the availability of research and thus limits its usefulness. If people cannot see results, they cannot build on them. This is one of the problems that e-print archives developed to solve. The aim of an open archive is to make research freely available, in full text, for anyone to use. Some higher education institutions, both abroad and now here in Australia, are beginning to see the value of such archives as a way of showcasing their research in a single, central, searchable space. 2004-03-15T00:00:00Z Weaver, Belinda http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:136479 2008-04-28T15:06:31Z Webster, K. http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:179347 2009-07-17T14:36:36Z Hall, Jenny http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:67112 2007-08-15T02:30:07Z Weaver, B. http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:104829 2007-08-23T22:38:07Z Blumson, L. og McLeod, P. og Turnbull, A. http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:176933 2009-04-17T20:23:11Z Cryle, Mark http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:69258 2007-08-14T11:20:35Z Schmidt, J.

He graduated in engineering from the University of Sydney in 1914 and served in World War I from 1915 to 1918 with The Royal Australian Engineers. Following the war, he accepted an offer to remain for a period in England and studied town planning at the University of London. He visited Europe and collected a remarkable set of historic bridge photographs. In the course of this visit, he met Paul Sejourne, a distinguished French bridge engineer, the designer of at Ieast one of the bridges (at Fontpedrouse, pages 25-27) included in this set. When Lahey died, his wife Sybil and daughter Ann took steps to give this remarkable set of 58 historic bridge photographs to The University of Queensland. More recently, Lahey's daughters Ann Neale and Alison Drake have given a set of lantern plates collected by their father, many of which also have photographs of bridges. This volume is divided into three parts: (a) a biography of Romeo Watkins Lahey, written by his daughter, Ann Neale; (b) copies of the original set of 58 bridge photographs, and (c) copies taken from 32 lantern plates. To these have been added captions. Many of the original photographs carried titles; where these are available they have been printed in italics. Further work has been done to identify bridges and where possible the captions include the completion date, major dimensions, locations, and references to published works. Plates 8.1-10 are copies of drawings used as Figures in a book. These drawings have not been copied and the source has not been identified. Two lists of photographs and plates are included - the first in the order of the original collections and a second with bridges listed in the order of material, structural form and date. The collection is of remarkable value to any bridge historian, and is recommended for study by students. 2005-09-08T00:00:00Z O'Connor, Colin og Neale, Ann http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:155563 2008-10-03T13:13:14Z Webster, Keith http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:78160 This paper reviews the existing literature on the information behavior of researchers in the humanities, in order to develop a set of learning objectives which can be used in the planning of information literacy training programs for this group of library users. 2007-08-15T07:33:19Z East, J. W. http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:11127 Library programs which are indispensable, integrated tools for lifelong learning, problem based teaching, and cutting edge research must remain in touch with changing customer needs. The University of Queensland Library's Information Skills for Researchers & Postgraduates program is being revised and updated to reflect changing priorities and learning groups. Focus groups, which highlighted concerns about the way the program had been publicised, its instructional design and its modes of delivery, are being responded to. This paper outlines methods of addressing these concerns and the implications for an academic library involved in the cycle of design and redesign of services and Information Literacy Programs for researchers and postgraduates. 2004-02-17T00:00:00Z Turnbull, Deborah og Frost, Denise og Foxlee, Nicola http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:157784 The growth of information technology has changed the nature of resources collected by libraries, the ways in which library materials are organised and accessed, and the information services provided by libraries. Teaching methods, learning styles and research methods have also changed. This means that the knowledge and skills required by librarians and information professionals are changing. Programs are offered by the University of Queensland Library to provide the practising librarian and library manager with the knowledge and skills to transform libraries and their services. Cybrary Skills in the Tertiary Environment is the generic name which the University of Queensland Library gives to these training programmes. Librarians from several countries have worked and studied at the UQ Library, in groups or in individual placements, for varying periods of time. This paper explains the program and its rationale, and looks at critical success factors. 2008-10-21T11:09:47Z Jordan, Elizabeth http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:136427 2008-04-28T12:50:09Z Hall, Jenny og McTaggart, Jill http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:154924 While surveying clients has become a standard part of research libraries’ qualitative assessment programmes, regularly surveying a library’s own staff is less common. Client surveys at the University of Queensland Library consistently reveal that the Library staff are regarded as the Library’s greatest asset. It is important to work at ensuring that these two hundred and fifty assets feel positive and motivated in their work, particularly in current times of rapid change in their workplace and sometimes the actual nature of their work. This paper examines the Library’s experience of surveying the staff five times over eight years. It examines the survey instrument itself, and the methods of analyses employed to interpret the data. 2008-08-28T15:43:18Z Jordan, Elizabeth http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:67118 2007-08-15T02:30:30Z Weaver, B. http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:10997 The paper explains different techniques and tools for staying on top of search engine developments. 2004-02-03T00:00:00Z Weaver, Belinda http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:10651 The article examines the National Library of Australia's Kinetica database in terms of accessing, searching, cataloguing and adding records, using document delivery, obtaining records and documentation. 2004-03-15T00:00:00Z Weaver, Belinda http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:101584 2007-08-23T20:16:01Z Schmidt, J.B.
