TROVE FREE STUFF FULL

The key features of the service were designed to create a faceted search system specifically for Australian content. The name Trove was suggested by a staff member, with the associations of a treasure trove and the French verb trouver (to find or discover). The service developed by the project was called Single Business Discovery Service, and also briefly known by the staff as Girt.

ARROW Discovery Service (first Australian Research Repositories Online, then Australian Research Online, launched 2005).

The intention was to create a single point of entry for the public to the various online discovery services developed by the library between 19, including: The 'Single Business Discovery Project' was launched in August 2008. Trove's origins can be seen in the development of earlier services such as the Australian Bibliographic Network (ABN), a shared cataloguing service launched in 1981. In the wake of government funding cuts since 2015, the National Library and other organisations have been struggling to keep up with ensuring that content on Trove is kept flowing through and up to date. With the exception of the digitised newspapers, none of the contents is hosted by Trove itself, which indexes the content of its partners' collection metadata, formats and manages it, and displays the aggregated information in a relevance-ranked search result. Searchable content also includes music, sound and videos, and transcripts of radio programs. It provides access to digitised images, maps, aggregated information about people and organisations, archived diaries and letters, and all born-digital content which has been deposited via National edeposit (NED). It allows searching of catalogue entries of books in Australian libraries (some fully available online), academic and other journals, full-text searching of digitised archived newspapers, government gazettes and archived websites.

It includes content from libraries, museums, archives, repositories and other organisations with a focus on Australia. Hosted by the National Library of Australia in partnership with content providers, including members of the National and State Libraries Australia, it is one of the most well-respected and accessed GLAM services in Australia, with over 70,000 daily users.īased on antecedents dating back to 1996, the first version of Trove was released for public use in late 2009. The database includes archives, images, newspapers, official documents, archived websites, manuscripts and other types of data.
