1. AARLIN Project 2. AARLIN portal software 3. AARLIN linking software

What is AARLIN? Streamline access to information by providing a single easy to use search portal providing access to the complete range of library resources AARLIN project has been developed in two stages:  2001Pilot  Implementation 21 universities are participating members Based at La Trobe University

The need for AARLIN… Educational institutions are spending huge amounts on online information resources Yet a recent study showed that 45% of students start their research using Google Only 10% start with the library catalogue Reasons for using Google: easy to use, always get results Source: EDNER Issues Paper (8) 2002

A Monash University study showed that users encounter a range of problems using library databases:  they have difficulty determining which databases to use  they are confused by multiple search interfaces  they have problems with multiple sign-ons When deciding which databases to use, the top response from students was “trial and error” - Monash Library Database Usage Survey, 2001

In 1994 Swinburne had 2 web databases In 2004 Swinburne has over 250 web databases Also dozens of library catalogues, search engines, subject gateways, eprint servers… Dozens of different platforms with different search requirements

Aims of AARLIN… “The major aim of AARLIN is to provide users with a resource discovery tool that emulates the ease of use of Internet search engines such as Google, while at the same time guiding them to choosing relevant resources, using a single sign-on.” - Kate Roberts, AARLIN Project Officer, 2001

Phase 1 – Prototype (2001) Major funding from the Australian Research Council Demonstration of “proof of concept” Selection of Ex Libris software: Metalib & SFX 3 month pilot for staff & researchers at 6 universities: Flinders University Swinburne Univ of Tech La Trobe University University of Canberra Murdoch UniversityVictoria University

Phase 2 – Implementation ( ) 2002 Funding from DEST $2.8 million Selected new versions of Metalib & SFX 2003 Installation, training and rollout at 21 universities 2004 Go live! Initially to staff and researchers, followed by undergraduates

21 participating universities Australian Defence Force Academy Central Queensland University Charles Darwin University Edith Cowan University Flinders University James Cook University La Trobe University Monash University Murdoch University RMIT University Swinburne University of Technology University of Adelaide University of Ballarat University of Canberra University of Melbourne University of New England University of South Australia University of Southern Queensland University of Tasmania University of Wollongong Victoria University

Search across a range of databases, catalogues, search engines etc. using a standard search interface View and use results in a standard format Link from results to full text content and other services such as interlibrary loan where appropriate The AARLIN service model Locate appropriate resources to search

The AARLIN search portal

Metalib & AARLIN The Metalib software is installed on the AARLIN servers at La Trobe University Each institution has its own “instance” of the Metalib software which can be customised Each institution’s Metalib only searches that institution’s resources

SFX – Context sensitive linking

Context sensitive linking Linking between online resources has been around for a while The problem is that a lot of links were duds leading to:  pages that had disappeared  pages you weren’t allowed to access What we need are appropriate links, links that only appear when they lead to content or a service that is available to the user That’s what SFX does

OpenURL model OpenURL Source (eg, Metalib) OpenURL Target (eg, online database) Metalib sends an OpenURL to Swinburne’s SFX SFX checks Swinburne’s knowledgebase and presents appropriate services on the SFX menu OpenURL Resolver (eg, SFX)

Where we are La Trobe & Monash have gone live to staff and researchers using Metalib 2 Swinburne and most other AARLIN sites are waiting for Metalib 3 - due to be installed late July Swinburne and 4 other sites will pilot undergraduate student access this year AARLIN Project funding ceases at end of 2004 Business model being developed for 2005…
