[LINK] ACS Digital Library now in Arrow Discovery Service

[Tom Worthington]

The ACS Digital Library are now included in the ARROW discovery 
service 
<http://search.arrow.edu.au/apps/ArrowUI/?adapter=ViewSearchResultsAdapter&institutionField=ACS&OrderBy=Title>. 
Arrow provides an index to scholarly materials from Australian 
universities, professional, scientific and cultural organisations.

This includes the Linker's own Dr. Roger Clarke with "Key Aspects of 
the History of the Information Systems Discipline in Australia" 
<http://search.arrow.edu.au/apps/ArrowUI/?adapter=ViewRecordAdapter&identifier=oai:acs.ojs.journals.sfu.ca:article/12>.

Arrow reads an OAI standard XML metadata file created by the ACS 
Digital Library. Thanks to the National Library of Australia for 
arranging this.

Currently only one issue of the Australasian Journal of Information 
Systems <http://dl.acs.org.au/index.php/ajis> is available. We are 
working on getting about 1,500 papers from Australasian Journal of 
Information Systems <http://dl.acs.org.au/index.php/ajis> and 
Conferences in Research and Practice in Information Technology 
<http://dl.acs.org.au/index.php/crpit> into the system.

ps: How to do this was set a an assignment question for ANU IT for 
E-Commerce (COMP3410/COMP6341) Question 1, August 2006 
<http://cs.anu.edu.au/student/comp3410/assignments.html>. But the 
students had to work it out from first principles, whereas I just 
used a open source package
