Digitising the Global Foundations of the Common Law

Building on the achievements of two ARC LIEF funded projects to develop the Australasian Legal History Libraries, AustLII, in conjunction with other LIIs around the world, is embarking on an ambitious project to extend the reach of these libraries beyond Australia to the whole of the common law world. During this presentation, AustLII will demonstrate a prototype of the Global Foundations of the Common Law Library (to 1900) and will explore possible collaborations with research/academic libraries.

Australian Policy Online (APO) is a research database and alert service providing free access to full text research reports and papers, statistics and other resources essential for public policy development and implementation in Australia and New Zealand.

Natasha Simons (Senior Data Management Specialist, Australian National Data Service), Vicki Picasso (Senior Librarian, Research Support and Discovery Services, University of Newcastle Library) and Gabby Lamb (Researcher Services Librarian, University of New England).
ORCID is a persistent identifier for researchers that can resolve problems of name ambiguity and ensure scholarly works are correctly and unambiguously attributed to their creator. Use of ORCID has many tangible benefits, for our researchers, research institutions, funding agencies and the nation overall. Natasha will provide an update on the activities of ORCID internationally and the Australian ORCID Consortium. Vicki and Gabby Lamb will outline institutional experiences of ORCID adoption.

The open access world is focused on journals, gold, green, diamond and a host of other complexities. But what is happening in the monograph world? Two separate streams – open access scholarly monographs and open access textbooks are experiencing different trajectories, with the nature of scholarly objectives and publisher objectives being seen in a myriad of ways.
