ALIA Information Online 2015 Conference, 2-5 February 2015, Sydney: at the edge.
This conference presentation (PowerPoint slides) critically examines the service’s different partnership and business models, and consider the ways in which those individual differences reflect divergent policy and social contexts. The paper will extend beyond this analysis to ask what social, economic and policy contexts – what community values – influenced the scope, shape and flavor of each of these services. What national and trans-national identities are being invoked or modified through these services? What government, community or private mandates generated and facilitated their development? What conditions favoured or hindered development or may do so in the future?
