Title: Accessing the State Library of Victoria through iTunes University (beyond the campus)
Author(s): Waller, Vivienne
Abstract: In recent years, the State Library of Victoria (SLV) has shifted its focus from printed material to digital resources, with the intention of expanding its holdings of electronic and multimedia resources. Acknowledging that this move enables the Library to increase the range of resources available to its users and offers users with the potential to access the collection from anywhere, at any time, it is the Library's intention to continue to move in this direction. This paper provides an indication of the potential of iTunes University (beyond the campus) for the State Library of Victoria (SLV) to serve its users. It concludes with an outline of how the Searchers project could add value to any SLV involvement with iTunes University (beyond the campus).
