By Tony Boston and Fran Wilson.

13 pages; PDF.

From the abstract:

The National Library of Australia has coordinated a national bibliographic database and resource sharing service for Australian libraries since 1981. Over the last two years, this service has been redeveloped and branded as Libraries Australia. In February 2006 a free version of the Libraries Australia Search service was released to increase access to the collections of Australian libraries…The second part of this paper describes a pilot project involving collaboration between the National Library and Yahoo!, owner of the Flickr photo sharing service. The aim of the project
was to increase the number of contemporary images of Australian people, places and events in the National Library’s PictureAustralia service.
