CSIRO ScienceImage library now cc-by

by Liam Wyatt

Hello Australian and GLAMtools lists, I read today on the Creative Commons Australia blog that CSIRIO's ScienceImage library has been re-licensed to CC-BY: http://creativecommons.org.au/blog/2014/04/csiro-releases-scienceimage-arch… non-Australians CSIRO is our national science/research institute]. This is a fabulous series of images, nearly all of which are useful in WP articles as they are taken for 'scientific' purposes which means they are easily usable as educational images. Take a look: *http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/ <http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/> * There's also over 500 documentary video files http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/search/?tags=&keyword=&library=&assettype=… Here are the subject areas they've divided things up into: - * Animals <http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/library/animals/> * birds<http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/tag/birds/> fish <http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/tag/fish/> marine life<http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/tag/marine-life/> sheep <http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/tag/sheep/> - * Buildings <http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/library/buildings/> * laboratories <http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/tag/laboratories/> radio telescopes <http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/tag/radio-telescopes/> - * Food <http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/library/food/> * fruits<http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/tag/fruits/> vegetables <http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/tag/vegetables/> seafood<http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/tag/seafood/> - * Insects <http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/library/insects/> * arachnids <http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/tag/arachnids/> moths<http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/tag/moths/> termites <http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/tag/termites/> - * Landscapes <http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/library/landscapes/> * deserts <http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/tag/deserts/> farms<http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/tag/farms/> mountains <http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/tag/mountains/> - * People <http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/library/people/> * In the lab <http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/tag/In-the-lab/> in the field<http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/tag/in-the-field/> - * Plants <http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/library/plants/> * crops<http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/tag/crops/> flowers <http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/tag/flowers/> trees<http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/tag/trees/> - * Soil Science <http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/library/soil-science/> * erosion<http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/tag/erosion/> mining <http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/tag/mining/> soils<http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/tag/soils/> - * Technology <http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/library/technology/> * computers & computer equipment<http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/tag/computers---computer-equipment/> - * Textile <http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/library/textile/> * wool and woollen products<http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/tag/wool-and-woollen-products/> - * Transportation <http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/library/transportation/> * boats<http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/tag/boats/> - * Equipment <http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/library/equipment/> * industrial equipment <http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/tag/industrial-equipment/> laboratories <http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/tag/laboratories/> - * Fire <http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/library/fire/> * bushfire<http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/tag/bushfire/> fire management <http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/tag/fire-management/> - * Water <http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/library/water/> * irrigation<http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/tag/irrigation/> lakes <http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/tag/lakes/> rivers<http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/tag/rivers/> Could someone on the GLAMWikiToolset users see if you can neatly extract these files to mass upload them to Commons?

Farewell and buongiorno!

by Liam Wyatt

Dear Australian and GLAM Wikimedians, It is with excitement and slight nervousness that I write to say that tomorrow my wife and I are moving to Bologna, Italy. She received a post-doctoral fellowship from the National Research Institute there. I resigned from the National Library of Australia last week, and will be taking up the role of part-time GLAMWIKI coordinator for Europeana - with particular focus on supporting the development, integration and usage of the GLAMWIKIToolset. So farewell WM-Au and good luck. I'll still be around the Wikiverse, of course, but no longer from Australia. And hello Europe and WM-IT in particular! You'll be hearing from me again soon - and I'll see many of you at Wikimania London. Arrivederci! -Liam / Wittylama -- wittylama.com Peace, love & metadata

Fwd: Toodyay Herald coming soon on Trove newspapers database

by Gnangarra

for those interested in working on WA articles more newspapers coming on line via Trove Hi, THS Committee and email members and frriends Thought you might like to know that articles from the weekly *Toodyay Herald* (years 1912-1954) will appear on Trove soon. Faded out links are starting to appear in searches but we can't open them up until they lose their "Coming Sooness". Ditto the first Avon regional newspaper the *Eastern Districts Chronicle* (York, 1877-1927), but no *Northam Advertiser* yet. See link here: http://www.gouldgenealogy.com/2014/05/trove-newspapers-whats-coming-soon/ Cheers Beth THS -- GN.
