Increasing the discoverability and access to information: a word from our new TSAC Chair
The Trove Strategic Advisory Committee (TSAC) is the principal body through which Trove seeks strategic input from Trove Partners to meet the needs of both contributing organisations and the broader Australian community.
Jane Miller is a University Librarian at Victoria University. She’s recently been appointed as the TSAC Commitee Chair. She brings over 25 years' experience in academic libraries and experience delivering strategic initiatives based on collaboration and innovation. Jane is excited to be appointed as the new chair because,
Trove is a key element of our national memory and makes an incredible contribution to our ability to understand Australia’s social and cultural journey. Sitting at the heart of equitable access to information for Australians, it is impossible to overstate Trove’s significance in facilitating learning, teaching, research, insight and understanding.
As a Librarian, I have a passion for increasing discoverability of and access to information and know that for member Libraries and contributors, the value of our collaboration with the NLA enriches our collective information and library services eco-system, crossing academic, state, special and public library sectors and increasingly, cultural and heritage institutions. Trove is the nexus of this vital collaboration. Any contribution I can make to supporting the continuing evolution of Trove and the wonderfully dedicated, knowledgeable and innovative team at the National Library via the opportunity to chair TSAC is a genuine privilege and pleasure.

New knowledge about ourselves as a community: chairing a wonder. full. collective
The Trove Strategic Advisory Committee (TSAC) is the principal body through which Trove seeks strategic input from Trove Partners to meet the needs of both contributing organisations and the broader Australian community.
Laurie Atkinson is Director Law Library of Victoria and Supreme Court Librarian and the Chair of the TSAC. She wanted to join TSAC because,
'Trove is a vital, vibrant Australian resource whose sustainability and growth can be assured through active governance. I am grateful to those who nominated and voted for me and am humbled to be elected Chair.
Trove uses clever technology, harnesses community resources, and defies space and time to create storytelling, with the voices of our past speaking directly to us. As well as at an individual level (I love looking up news articles about my ancestors), scholars can swim around in the extraordinary wealth of material to highlight new knowledge about ourselves as a community.
Trove’s success is collaborative being based on shared knowledge and shared resources. If Trove didn’t exist, we would create it. If you’re a collecting institution, Trove will save you time, and money, and expose your collections to whole new audiences. Get involved.'
