Activity
Please note CAIRSS Project Manager Katy Watson will be on annual leave from 20th August to
7th September 2010. Community members can continue to contact CAIRSS staff member Tim McCallum during this time on cairss-technical@caul.edu.au and 07 4631 2129.
Reminder all CAUL institutions need to have their theses content out of ADT VT-ETD software and into their research repositories by end of September (only 5 weeks remaining for this work to be done). A new section outlining these ADT changes and new requirements has been added to the CAIRSS website at: http://cairss.caul.edu.au/www/theses/new_nla_theses_view.htm. Contact Tim at CAIRSS for assistance migrating your theses content from VT-ETD to your IR cairss-technical@caul.edu.au. If an institutions theses content is not migrated from institutional VT-ETD system to institutional research repositories by this time, that theses content will not be included in the new NLA theses display (and ADT replacement).
Dr Peter Sefton and the CAIRSS team have almost finalised the new webpage ‘Getting into Google, Google Scholar and other search engines’. Coming soon.
For your interest
Tim McCallum has given the CAIRSS website a bit of a usability makeover to comply better with web usability standards. If you notice any problems with the new CAIRSS website please let us know at cairss-technical@caul.edu.au so we can fix it.
