Abstract: This article discusses the role of the academic library in contributing to the reconciliation process in Australia through the lens of James Cook University. Reconciliation in this context is defined as the process to bring together Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australian peoples to overcome the gap that exists between them. Two of James Cook University’s c uses are located in North Queensland, an area with a high Indigenous population. It has in place a Reconciliation Action Plan and Statement of Strategic Intent, which provide a clear statement supporting its Indigenous students and staff. This article focuses on the participation of James Cook University Library and Information Service in the university’s reconciliation goals through four broad areas of interest: procurement, engagement, staffing, and information literacy training. Of particular note is the naming of the Townsville C us library – the Eddie Koiki Mabo Library – in recognition of Mabo’s connection with James Cook University, marking the significance of the role this Indigenous man played in Australia’s history.

Abstract: The nuclear modification factors of $${\mathrm {J}/\psi }$$ J / ψ and $$\psi \text {(2S)}$$ ψ (2S) mesons are measured in $$\text {PbPb}$$ PbPb collisions at a centre-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of $$\sqrt{\smash [b]{s_{_{\text {NN}}}}} = 5.02\,\text {Te}\text {V} $$ s NN = 5.02 TeV . The analysis is based on $$\text {PbPb}$$ PbPb and $$\mathrm {p}\mathrm {p}$$ p p data s les collected by CMS at the LHC in 2015, corresponding to integrated luminosities of 464 $$\,\mu \mathrm {b}^{-1}$$ μ b - 1 and 28 $$\,\text {pb}^\text {-1}$$ pb -1 , respectively. The measurements are performed in the dimuon rapidity range of $$|y | 2.4$$ | y | 2.4 as a function of centrality, rapidity, and transverse momentum ( $$p_{\mathrm {T}}$$ p T ) from $$p_{\mathrm {T}} =3$$ p T = 3 $${\,\text {Ge}\text {V}/}\text {c}$$ GeV / c in the most forward region and up to 50 $${\,\text {Ge}\text {V}/}\text {c}$$ GeV / c . Both prompt and nonprompt (coming from b hadron decays) $${\mathrm {J}/\psi }$$ J / ψ mesons are observed to be increasingly suppressed with centrality, with a magnitude similar to the one observed at $$\sqrt{\smash [b]{s_{_{\text {NN}}}}} = 2.76\,\text {Te}\text {V} $$ s NN = 2.76 TeV for the two $${\mathrm {J}/\psi }$$ J / ψ meson components. No dependence on rapidity is observed for either prompt or nonprompt $${\mathrm {J}/\psi }$$ J / ψ mesons. An indication of a lower prompt $${\mathrm {J}/\psi }$$ J / ψ meson suppression at $$p_{\mathrm {T}} 25$$ p T 25 $${\,\text {Ge}\text {V}/}\text {c}$$ GeV / c is seen with respect to that observed at intermediate $$p_{\mathrm {T}}$$ p T . The prompt $$\psi \text {(2S)}$$ ψ (2S) meson yield is found to be more suppressed than that of the prompt $${\mathrm {J}/\psi }$$ J / ψ mesons in the entire $$p_{\mathrm {T}}$$ p T range.

Abstract: This chapter reports on four current and significant collaborative projects between Australia and the Pacific Islands in the area of libraries, archives and information centres, their respective staff, and Pacific counterparts. In the context of this chapter, and mirroring the Australian Government’s Pacific policies, all the collaborations mentioned involve countries in the south Pacific (i.e. Melanesia and Polynesia), although two Micronesian countries with strong links to Australia—Kiribati and Nauru—are included. The projects are: Pacific Manuscripts Bureau – microfilming and preserving historic documents Pacific Islands Law Library Community Twinning Program Marine Library Twinning Project and the Melanesian Agricultural Information System. Based on experiences in carrying out these projects, this chapter shares some strategies for successful collaboration and the value of such projects.

Abstract: In recent years open access models have transcended traditional modes of publishing, thus enabling freer access to research. This paper takes a trans-regional approach to open access publishing in the Asia and Oceania region focussing on in idual institutions in three countries – Charles Darwin University (Australia), University of Hong Kong and the University of Malaya, reflecting on how each one is rising, in its own in idual way, to meet the range of challenges that its research communities are facing. Specifically, it focuses on open access and institutional repository development, and traces their development at each of the aforementioned institutions. This paper is based on interviews conducted with staff involved with the development of the repository, and the open access collection in particular, at each of the three institutions. It synthesises open access developments and reviews the role the library has played in each institution in the development of open access across the academic and research community and the success that has been achieved to date. It highlights any common factors between the approaches taken by each institution, as well as any significant differences of note. The findings reveal that each of the three institutions is at a different stage of development with the University of Hong Kong repository ranked at the top within Asia. Each has used a slightly different approach toward open access, and used different software to develop their repository. The authors have collated the overall experiences of each institution in open access publishing and repository development. They have highlighted the successes and failures that each has experienced and formulated a set of guidelines that may help those embarking on establishing an open access repository.

Abstract: Paper presented at the Ninth Annual Pacific Islands Association of Libraries and Archives Conference, 15–21 November 1999, Koror, Republic of Palau. As new technologies have reached the South Pacific in recent years, it is appropriate to consider how best to utilise them in order to increase access to and use of information services. At present, print is by far the most common method of distributing library publications. Various non-print formats such as CD-ROM and the Internet have been employed to deliver information resources to remote users and are technically viable alternatives to print publishing. There is no doubt that CD-ROMs are a medium that have long been considered suitable for developing countries, on the basis of price and appropriateness alone. When considering the newer medium of the Internet, it has to be born in mind that in the Pacific, only half the inhabited islands have access to telecommunications. And where there is access to the Internet, cost, accessibility and user skills remain significant constraints. All of these factors contribute to a degree of caution. To find answers to some of these questions, a research study has been proposed to look into both the desirability and viability of publishing in electronic media. In the meantime, distribution of data in the Pacific will continue in hard copy.

Abstract: The paper describes how Charles Darwin University (CDU) used a three-pronged approach to better serve its researchers: it developed a single interface for improved accessibility and discoverability of its research outputs, consolidated its corresponding policies and procedures and implemented training programs to support the new portal. This in turn made its suite of research outputs more openly accessible and better discoverable. The intention was to make CDU research compliant with the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable) policy statement, affirming the need to make Australia's research more visible, thereby enabling better access, better collaboration locally and internationally and researchers more accountable to their community. This paper uses case study methodology and a qualitative approach. CDU Library collaborated with the University’s Research Office in undertaking a series of strategies towards reframing access to its research. The partners migrated their research collections into a single, new, integrated interface developed new policies and consolidated existing ones and to this end, rolled out a training and educational program for the research community. The intention of the program was to introduce the Pure repository to new researchers and to train all staff to self archive and curate their own research outputs. This new streamlined approach ensured a more comprehensive and timely availability and accessibility of the University's research outputs. A single source of truth was established through the migration of iCDU’s research collections, ensuring data quality was maintained. At the start of this project, there were few institutions in Australia using the Pure system, and even fewer using it as their sole repository for displaying research outputs.

Abstract: The paper aims to explore the new and changing role of the research librarian with specific reference to Charles Darwin University (CDU), Australia. In response to the changing research landscape in Australia, Charles Darwin University Library in the Northern Territory has developed a series of services and resources to meet the special needs of its growing research community. The impact of the support being provided to researchers by CDU Library has been measured through two survey questionnaires followed by focus group discussions. Feedback is also obtained regularly from workshop participants through an evaluation form. In order to meet researchers' needs, Library staff have successfully used both formal and informal methods of professional development on an ongoing basis in order to bridge any gaps that are identified through the evaluation exercises. In the face of the changing research landscape in Australia, the research librarian needs to ensure that in turn, his or her skills and qualifications will need to be continually updated to ensure that researchers' needs are being met. Librarians have to become involved in new roles, roles that are not traditionally associated with librarians, such as data management and curation. The practical implications will include: Continuing Professional Development for the research librarian possible reorganisation of the functional units of the Library and the relationship between the librarian and the researcher in a changing environment. This paper asks questions of LIS providers in relation to opportunities for upgrading the skills and status of librarians engaged with the research community. This paper provides a discussion on recent literature on research librarianship and it deals with an issue that is currently of interest to a number of academic libraries. The strategies adopted by CDU will be of interest to smaller, isolated and less well resourced university libraries in similar situations.
