  1. The Lists Project

  2. What is the Lists Project? • The Lists project is a National and State Libraries Australasia (NSLA) initiative and is part of project 8: Description and Cataloguing. • SLWA has collaborated with staff at NLA to test some of the means of creating greater access to our lists. Subiaco Public Library, 1971

  3. How to create access? • We added a simple subfield to the 856 marc tag. |xsearchable resource. • This subfield alerts the Trove database to harvest and index the link in the 856 tag. Computer room at Chamberlains, 1969

  4. Trove uses relevance ranking and gives results recovered from finding aids a low value. Trove does not specify that the retrieved snippet is from the finding aid and context is easily lost once the client clicks through to the bibliographic record. Lessons learned Cockatoo Island school, 1973

  5. And another thing… • The Trove indexer indexes every word on the finding aid - any html code embedded on the page becomes searchable and any standardised text is also indexed. Mr A. J. Florance, teacher, in a classroom, Western Australia, ca.1905
