explore like never before… an introduction to trove
DESCRIPTION
An overview of a new service called Trove (as in Treasure Trove). The service was released at the end of 2009 by the National Library of Australia. It is a free search service. Our aim is to make finding and getting information easier. The Trove service searches across a rich data repository which currently contains 90 million items from over 1000 Australian libraries and other organisations, and it’s growing in size.TRANSCRIPT

Investigation of this kind is original In the best sense; it not only produces a sub- stantive addition to" our stock of know- ledge, but gives the student invaluable training in the art of collecting and ar- ranging his material. Adelaide, alone among Australian universities, has a speci- fic endowment for such research, and it has borne good fruit; here is au opening for the generosity of benefactors in other
States. _____
