In its 2015 review, the Centre stated its four key activities as engagement, scholarly services, research and collaboration. What identified the Centre as different from other research centres was that it was not located in a faculty but within the University Library. At the same time, the Centre was different from the other units of the Library because it maintained its largely self-funded business model and its commitment to helping build national information infrastructure to support research. So while most of the Library was inward looking to support the specific needs of staff and students of the University, the Centre had a tradition of looking outwards, collaborating beyond the borders of the campus and seeking out colleagues with similar goals across the globe. What started as a national information infrastructure project to support the study of the history of Australian science and technology became a research programme in its own right, as the rampant development of digital technologies started the radical transformation of the information landscape. The emergence of social and cultural informatics as a discipline provided the intellectual backdrop for the research agenda for the Centre, with its strengths in archival science and over-arching interests in the challenges of intergenerational transfer of knowledge.","PeriodicalId":82953,"journal":{"name":"The Australian library journal","volume":"65 1","pages":"147 - 156"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/00049670.2016.1208073","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"58718762","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data were gathered through interviews with librarians and focus groups with tweens, to consider both sides of the readers’ advisory transaction. It was found that public library staff can and do effectively create and nurture tween readers, so long as certain practices are in place: maintaining a foundation of knowledge of tween books; sharing enthusiasm about the books and reading; giving tweens choice; and, in keeping with reader-response theory, recognising the individual nature of what constitutes a ‘good’ book and getting to know the reader through asking open questions about previous books enjoyed.","PeriodicalId":82953,"journal":{"name":"The Australian library journal","volume":"65 1","pages":"80 - 91"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/00049670.2016.1166925","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"58718300","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
