This weblog was created in 2008 to support the development of Melbourne’s Scholarly Information Future: a 10-year strategy — an inspiring and achievable set of goals and principles to guide our decision-making about physical and digital libraries, research data, research outputs, campus developments, cultural and archival collections, scholarly literacy, and how we support learning and teaching activities.
Implementation of the Information Future strategy begins in 2009, and this weblog will again help us to communicate news, ideas, learnings and progress towards our goals.
Weblogs are typically conversational and relatively informal in style. In its simplest form, a blog is a place for sharing links to interesting web resources.
The Information Futures team would like this weblog to become an online conversation among a community of individuals who share an interest.
We hope you will join this community.
To learn about some of the ideas and questions that interest us, start reading the blog.
