Hi All, Some of you may have already received this email, but for those that havn't ...
The team behind "Trove", the single search system for Australian library content (which notably includes the digitised newspapers collection that many of use use for WP footnotes) has just initiated a major user-survey. It would be really really useful if we could make sure that the needs of Wikimedians are represented in the data that comes up in the analysis! As you may know, Trove has recently hired a Director - Tim Sherratt (who many of you may know as @Wragge) - who is heavily engaged in Digital Humanities, openAPIs and many other things along those lines. His formidable job will be to take the results of this survey as the the "to do list" for the forthcoming year. While there's been a steady increase in the content available (new newspapers are added all the time) there is an increasing list of bugs and features that are awaiting prioritisation. This survey will help sort out what different kinds of usergroups there are and what those groups most need. So, please go here and respond! http://iquestion.completemr.com/Q219867/ -Liam [Full disclosure, Trove includes content from a variety of institutions across the country but it is physically based at the National Library - where I now am employed as the social media coordinator.] wittylama.com Peace, love & metadata ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Mark Raadgever <mraad...@nla.gov.au> Date: 16 May 2013 10:22 Subject: [trove-announce] Trove Evaluation Survey - Your chance to help us improve Trove!
