Overview (2002)
How can we improve access and delivery of art
resources?
Is there a smarter way to access and manage art
resources?
• Current delivery: users have to search multiple sites, know
multiple interfaces and know how resources fit together
• Future developments in resource delivery, searching and
navigation.

NLA Strategic Directions 2009-2011
“We will explore new models for creating and
sharing information and for collecting
materials, including supporting the creation
of knowledge by our users. “
(not just NLA resources… all Australian content)
“The changing expectations of users that they
will not be passive receivers of information,
but rather contributors and participants in
information services.”
