The Henry tax review is finally  out  and  everyone can have a look at it in detail. The tax review out on 2nd May 2010 was not  much of a surprise as not many of the recommendations got implemented , but then not many of the henry recommendations also did get rejected, so we can see a slow implementation of many recommendations through the next coming years.

Trove the Literary google search of australia – Search engines

by 4 Comments

Trove the search engine  that got resources from combined artistic resources of over 1000 libraries, museums, and other cultural institution from Australia  if proving a big contender for searches in this field  in contrast to other popular search engines. Trove – a National Library of Australia (NLA) initiative whose creators are calling it the Google of cultural heritage institutions have five dedicated software engineers continuously working on it.

About Trove -Trove is a new discovery experience focused on Australia and Australians. It supplements what search engines provide with reliable information from Australia’s memory institutions.

If you are researching in the fields of the social sciences, literature, local or family history, newspaper articles and magazine resources,  or need inspiration for your school assignment, then this is the tool for you.

Three years in the making, Trove is an offshoot of the Australian Newspapers Digitisation Program, a massive effort that has digitised and made available online 17 million historical articles from Australian newspapers between 1831 and 1954 since it began in March 2007. That program is set to catalogue 40 million more articles by next year. In the same way that Google harvest’s Web sites,  Trove set up harvesting across cultural heritage institutions and national resources and libraries

Trove, developed by many of the same staff, manages metadata on over 90 million historically significant items including pictures, unpublished manuscripts, books, oral histories, music, videos, research papers, diaries, letters, maps, archived Web sites and newspapers from 1803 to 1954.  Trove  search engine isn’t archiving the content itself, but manages metadata about indexed content. Thanks to a complex array of back-end connections with participating institutions – as well as with online databases like Amazon, Flicker, Google Books, and the Australian National Bibliographic Database – new content added to those institutions’ collections is automatically referenced in Trove.

For example if researching images relating to Edmund Barton, our first Prime Minister, results will include descriptions such as people, book, manuscript, map and newspaper articles. A researcher searching for information on Nellie Melba will be presented with a range of results including biographies, pictures, music, newspapers, books etc. The service works best in Internet Explorer 7+, Firefox 3+ or Safari 4+, at a screen resolution of 1024×768 or higher.

We did a search  for “Australian Digger” which came up with 42,968 results for newspapers , 1,734 results for picture and photos

and 2,397 results fo books journals and magazine articles.

We also did a search for “bogan” – Check out the results here

Libraries and archives have been mapping and digitizing letter, maps, diaries, newspapers and so on for a long time, and we know that public information-seeking happens a lot for literary purposes. Many people just want to see what they can get online  – and Trove provides access to unique Australian resources on the deep Web that you wouldn’t find elsewhere.

So looking for something you cant find  on Google, jump into this treasure trove of information 🙂
