literacy and numeracy and are creative and productive users of technology, especially ICT, as a foundation for success in all learning areas

A Rudd Labor Government will revolutionise classroom education by putting a computer on the desk of every upper secondary student and by providing Australian schools with fibre to the premises connections, which will deliver broadband speeds of up to 100 megabits per second.

What is a Digital Library?

What is your ‘vision’ of a digital library?

04/08/23 40

What is a ‘Digital Restaurant’ Library?

The library is everywhere (24/7, anywhere, anytime) The library has no barriers The library is user-centered The library provides a multi-media experience The library invites participation ie blogs, wikis and

RSS The library is communally innovative (‘as communities change, libraries must not only change with them, they must

allow users to change the library’)

04/08/23 41

Put simply, libraries must now begin to use these Web 2.0 applications if they are to prove themselves to be just as relevant as other information providers, and start to deliver experiences that meet the modern user’s expectations.
