  3. Libraries at the End of the World: Digital Content and Knowledge CreationPRDLA Annual Meeting - Auckland, NZ 2009 Goals put forward in 2007  • To create a digital library focused on the culture & heritage of the indigenous peoples of the Oceania region • To create a centralised metadata repository through harvesting partner collections, to enhance resource discovery • To actively seek out funding for digitisation programs across partner institutions • To investigate preservation issues around cultural treasures • To grow the collections by collaborating with other institutions    

  4. Issues… then ... and now... • Technical infrastructure • Cultural & intellectual property • Digital preservation & sustainability plan • Cultural renewal / digital repatriation • Other potential partners Libraries at the End of the World: Digital Content and Knowledge CreationPRDLA Annual Meeting - Auckland, NZ 2009

  5. Libraries at the End of the World: Digital Content and Knowledge CreationPRDLA Annual Meeting - Auckland, NZ 2009 Should we continue? Why we do it ... • What is the future of aggregation websites? • Have user searching habits changed so much that the aggregation concept is obsolete? • Do browser ranking systems favor the content holding website over the metadata aggregation site? • Does the ODiL content address a definable user audience? • Is there long-term support for the project?

  6. Aggregators, Partners, Networks: More Options OAISter on OCLC "In January 2010, OCLC plans to release a freely accessible discrete view of the OAIster records. Access to this view will be provided through a URL specific to OAIster. OAIster records will continue to be indexed in WorldCat.org and integrated into WorldCat.org search results ...” Could this new interface supercede PRL?

  48. Libraries at the End of the World: Digital Content and Knowledge CreationPRDLA Annual Meeting - Auckland, NZ 2009 Pacific Collection librarians report In the Traditional Navigation streetprint site: the comments field has actively engaged the Satawalese community: With only one exception, EVERY one of the 100+ comments currently on the site have been made by Satawalese themselves -- most of whom now live abroad, and virtually all of them are people who are themselves depicted in the photos. Taken as a whole, these comments create a whole OTHER online collection, in that they document the community not as it existed in 1980, but as it exists today. prior to the advent of the comments field, only a very small fraction of the people in the images were identified by name ... now a good portion have been given back not only their names but also their genealogies, stories of the things they are famous for within the community, etc. Most requested material that we DON'T have digitized: documents from the Trust Territory Archives - the high request rate has to do with the fact that we have the Trust Territory Archives Index online, which makes this material infinitely more visible The Duggan streetprint site serves as a contra-point to the Steve Thomas site, in that not one of the commentators is Micronesian ... but this is in part due to the nature of the collection: it documents the lives of the folks who were employed by Trust Territory Administration, so the people commenting on the site are all related to the Administration.

  49. Issues… then ... and now... • Technical infrastructure • Cultural & intellectual property • Digital preservation & sustainability plan • Cultural renewal / digital repatriation • Other potential partners Libraries at the End of the World: Digital Content and Knowledge CreationPRDLA Annual Meeting - Auckland, NZ 2009

  50. Should we continue? Why we do it ... "The long history and diversity of the different cultures and peoples in the Asian Pacific region has created a fertile environment for developing digital libraries of cultural heritage and indigenous knowledge. Such content and knowledge could help promote global understanding and collaboration." Chen, Hsinchun, & Zhou, Yilu, (2004). Survey and history of digital library development in the Asia Pacific. In: Y.-L. Theng and S. Foo (Eds.), Design and Usability of Digital Libraries: Case Studies in the Asia Pacific. Hershey, PA: Idea Group Publishing "Through the creation of a system of "visual repatriation" and "feedback”, the people of Nunavut and the atoll of Satawal (in Micronesia) have theopportunity to view and identify photos of their ancestors, relatives andthemselves online while at the same time sharing their knowledge with each host institution..."
