  • The Uniqueness of the Blackwords Resource: Memoir of an Indexer
    The Uniqueness of the BlackWords Resource: Memoir of an Indexer IRENE HOWE AustLit, University of Queensland Since its launch in 2007 BlackWords has enjoyed strong Indigenous leadership and a dedicated Indigenous team, allowing Indigenous storytellers, academics and researchers to determine its look, content, and scope. The BlackWords team of researchers and indexers is a community consisting of individuals from across institutions such as the University of Queensland, the University of Western Australia, Flinders University, the University of Sydney, the University of Wollongong and AIATSIS, each of whom has brought their own expertise and specialist interest to the database (BlackWords; Holt; Kilner 62). In a sense, Indigenous control of BlackWords falls within the context of the traditional Aboriginal kinship system. BlackWords has had many mothers, fathers, aunties, uncles, sisters, brothers, cousins and non-Indigenous members, who have nurtured it from its early establishment. Within this relationship, they represent the national team consisting of national coordinators and research assistants. This extended family are those people who are members and/or descendants of diverse Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island groups and communities as distant as Western Australia and the Torres Straits Islands. The non-Indigenous, or those with no blood relations, come in the form of the cross-cultural connection between BlackWords and AustLit. For example, Joan Keating, a Senior Researcher and Content Editor from AustLit, gave valuable help to the BlackWords team. From its establishment in 2006, she contributed her knowledge, guidance, training and skills, providing information on bibliographic protocols, and indexing procedures. Kerry Kilner, in her role as Director of AustLit, has also been instrumental in the establishment and continued development of BlackWords.

  • The Blackwords Symposium: the Past, Present, and Future of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Literature
    The BlackWords Symposium: The Past, Present, and Future of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Literature KERRY KILNER University of Queensland PETER MINTER University of Sydney We write to create, to survive, and to revolutionise; we write to haunt and we ache because we refuse to leave the past alone. We aim to disrupt the State’s founding order of things, to disrupt ‘patriarchal white sovereignty’ (Moreton- Robinson), white heteronormativity, and the colonial-continuum of history. (Harkin, herein) The BlackWords Symposium, held in October 2012, celebrated the fifth anniversary of the establishment of BlackWords, the AustLit-supported project recording information about, and research into, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander writers and storytellers. The symposium showcased the exciting state of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander creative writing and storytelling across all forms, contemporary scholarship on Indigenous writing, alongside programs such as the State Library of Queensland’s black&write! project, which supports writers’ fellowships, editing mentorships, and a trainee editor program for professional development for Indigenous editors. But really, the event was a celebration of the sort of thinking, the sort of resistance, and the re-writing of history that is evident in the epigraph to this introduction. The speakers, who included Melissa Lucashenko, Wesley Enoch, Sandra Phillips, Ellen Van Neerven, Jeanine Leane, and Boori Pryor alongside the authors of the works in this collection, explored a diverse range of topics

  • Indigenous Stories Told Collectively by Anita Heiss
    https://www.austlit.edu.au/austlit/page/15446544 Indigenous Stories Told Collectively by Anita Heiss Written for The BlackWords Essays. (Click the link to return to the Essays Table of Contents) Users are advised that AustLit contains information that may be culturally sensitive, including images of deceased persons. Author's Note - 2019 Anthologies continue to play an important role in bringing together Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander voices across genres and on a range of topics and themes. Since this essay was published in 2015, there have been almost 40 anthologies indexed in BlackWords. Such titles include: Growing Up Aboriginal in Australia (non-fiction), Stories of Belonging (drama), Meet Me at the Intersection (short fiction, memoir, poetry), Deadly Sisters of Worawa (poetry, autobiography) and the Goanna Was Hungry and Other Stories (children’s, short story). Page 1 of 30 To see the full list of anthologies in BlackWords, click here! Introduction This paper addresses the important role of anthologies in the creation of communities of writers and in acknowledging, consolidating and launching writing careers. It is structured so that different clusters of anthologised writing are recognised: • general anthologies containing writing from a number of genres; • place-specific anthologies; and, • genre-specific anthologies - poetry, novel, short-story, oral history, gender, youth and themed. In this paper, for the most part, the opportunity to compare works and discuss common approaches to subject matter overrides any chronology of publication. There is, however, an ordering principle of sorts at work. Certain important general anthologies tended to appear before their genre-specific counterparts and they are discussed first.

The paper refers briefly to the decision making processes leading to the adoption of these models, and outlines the implementation process, the benefits of the implementation, the practical and conceptual difficulties encountered in this implementation, and some observations on the future of these models in the library and information worlds. IFLA's Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records was published in 1998, and was widely accepted as providing a sound conceptual model for a new generation of bibliographic records which record and present the publishing history of information resources. The 2000 LC Cataloguing conference included a number of papers on the requirement to add 'event models' into cataloguing. FRBR and Event Modeling are powerful tools for presenting bibliographic and other information in a richly contextual environment.

  • Bringing Research and Researchers to Light: Current and Emerging Challenges for a Discipline-Based Knowledge Resource
    Bringing research and researchers to light: current and emerging challenges for a discipline-based knowledge resource Kerry Kilner and Roger Osborne ‘The challenge for developers of humanities e-research groupings is to ensure they move beyond the use of the technology as a means of enabling the sharing of data and information—an ‘information commons’—and become a forum that enables, supports and sustains collaborative, distributed scholarship—a ‘research commons’1 Scholarship, teaching and research in Australian story-making cultures have, in the past decade, been greatly assisted by AustLit: The Australian Literature Resource2, a multi- institutional e-research collaboration between researchers, librarians and software designers from ten universities and the National Library of Australia. Under the leadership of The University of Queensland, and with funding from the Australian Research Council, the university partners3, the Australian Learning and Teaching Council and the NCRIS NeAT scheme4, this collaboration has developed a web-based research environment supporting a range of specialist projects across a diversity of fields relating to Australian literature, theatre, film, Indigenous writing and storytelling, life-writing, and criticism while maintaining a record of contemporary primary and secondary publications in the field. This paper will consider the successes and challenges that AustLit has faced over its relatively long history (in digital era terms) with its aim of becoming the definitive virtual research environment and information resource in the fields noted above; not only for scholars but for students of all levels and the general public. We will present some of the innovative ways AustLit serves its user communities and discuss the challenges of moving from a closed, subscription-based resource to one that supports 1 Genoni, Merrick and Willson (2008) 2 www.austlit.edu.au 3 AustLit university partners are: UNSW, Wollongong, James Cook University, Sydney, Monash, Flinders, UWA, Deakin, Canberra.
