[RNLD] Do you use Trove?

[Emma Murphy]

Hi all,

Forwarding this message on behalf of National Library of Australia staff:
this is mainly for people working in Australia/on Australian materials.
Please forward this to anybody not on this list who may be able to help.

Thanks!
Emma


Have you used Trove for your language work or other research?
https://trove.nla.gov.au

It's an incredible online collection of books, newspaper articles, photos
and other materials. It is held by the National Library of Australia and it
is free. But the people who look after Trove want to make it easier -
especially for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and people
who mainly speak a language other than English.

Do you have any ideas about making Trove easier to use? Maybe Trove needs
Plainer English, better signage, or warnings about culturally sensitive
information? Please read the message from the National Library of Australia
below. They want people to give them feedback about Trove. If you want to
help, you can click on the link, give them your email address and then they
will ask you to do a survey or short online activity to help make Trove
better for you and your community.

Trove is seeking volunteers to give feedback and take part in testing
activities. This is a great opportunity to have a say and help improve
Trove.

Activities start soon and will continue over the next 6-8 months. More
information on this, and your participation, is available at
http://help.nla.gov.au/trove/keeping-up-to-date. We're looking for people
of all ages and backgrounds - dedicated Trove fans or people who've never
used Trove before. So sign up, and please share widely! The Trove team's
eternal gratitude is guaranteed!
