CAVAL takes delivery of a Kirtas 2400 Scanner
16 May 2008
The Kirtas 2400RA unit is an automated high speed image capturing device (21.1 Mega Pixel), specially designed to digitise books and journals. Training was provided by Kirtas representatives this week, and CAVAL staff expect to have the unit in operation by the end of the month.
The same device is used by Microsoft’s digitisation projects, it automatically turns the pages of a book and captures its contents, the electronic copies are then converted to full-text searchable PDFs.
CAVAL is the first organisation in Australia to own such a device, capable of digitising up to 2400 pages per hour. Additionally, it will be used by CAVAL’s Document Delivery department to deliver electronic journal articles from the CARM Centre, directly to users desktops.
For any queries or to arrange a demonstration contact
George Panagiotidis.

Basic Skills for Analyzing Library Service Quality Assessment Data
10th March 2008
CAVAL is delighted to announce that Professor Bruce Thompson will be presenting a one-day workshop “Basic Skills for Analyzing Library Service Quality Assessment Data” in Auckland, New Zealand on Friday 18 April 2008, in conjunction with the IATUL Conference.
This workshop will provide participants with some basic skills for the quantitative analysis (both statistical and graphic) of library service quality assessment data. Although some examples will use samples from the 1.3 million users worldwide who have completed LibQUAL+®, the focus of the session is not on LibQUAL+® per se.
Bruce, who is best known within the library community as one of the three original developers of LibQUAL+®, is Distinguished Professor of Educational Psychology and College Distinguished Research Fellow, and Distinguished Professor of Library Science, Texas A&M University, and Adjunct Professor of Allied Health Sciences, Baylor College of Medicine (Houston).
