What is AARLIN?
Streamline access to information by providing a single easy to use search portal providing access to the complete range of library resources
AARLIN project has been developed in two stages: 2001 Pilot 2002-04 Implementation
21 universities are participating members Based at La Trobe University

The need for AARLIN… Educational institutions are spending huge amounts on
online information resources Yet a recent study showed that 45% of students start
their research using Google Only 10% start with the library catalogue Reasons for using Google:
easy to use, always get results
Source: EDNER Issues Paper (8) 2002

A Monash University study showed that users encounter a range of problems using library databases:
they have difficulty determining which databases to use they are confused by multiple search interfaces they have problems with multiple sign-ons
When deciding which databases to use, the top response from students was “trial and error”
- Monash Library Database Usage Survey, 2001

In 1994 Swinburne had 2 web databases In 2004 Swinburne has over 250 web databases Also dozens of library catalogues, search engines,
subject gateways, eprint servers… Dozens of different platforms with different search
requirements

Aims of AARLIN…
“The major aim of AARLIN is to provide users with a resource discovery tool that emulates the ease of use of Internet search engines such as Google, while at the same time guiding them to choosing relevant resources, using a single sign-on.”
- Kate Roberts, AARLIN Project Officer, 2001

Metalib & AARLIN
The Metalib software is installed on the AARLIN servers at La Trobe University
Each institution has its own “instance” of the Metalib software which can be customised
Each institution’s Metalib only searches that institution’s resources

SFX – Context sensitive linking
![Page 30: AARLIN, Metalib & SFX Streamlining information](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081502/56815874550346895dc5d311/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Context sensitive linking Linking between online resources has been around
for a while The problem is that a lot of links were duds
leading to: pages that had disappeared pages you weren’t allowed to access
What we need are appropriate links, links that only appear when they lead to content or a service that is available to the user
That’s what SFX does

researchers using Metalib 2 Swinburne and most other AARLIN sites are waiting for
Metalib 3 - due to be installed late July Swinburne and 4 other sites will pilot undergraduate
student access this year AARLIN Project funding ceases at end of 2004 Business model being developed for 2005…
