Open borders
This project will open up access to the content and services of our libraries to everyone. It will provide the functionality of one library card across our libraries using new technology solutions.
We will find a way to identify and provide seamless access to our suites of electronic resources. This will include considering the possibilities of integrating with existing Australasian initiatives that are developing technical platforms for shared identity and access management systems.
An important further element will be to articulate and develop common access policies for the onsite and online services of participating libraries, to enable people to move easily between our libraries.
The project will also research access opportunities for us in the use of mobile broadband services and make recommendations for shared development. This will ensure a common approach to these services as they develop.
