The National Library of Australia has launched "Library Labs", a wiki to share news with colleagues about what the NLA is doing in the redevelopment of digital library services using service-oriented architecture and open source software solutions. Comments, suggestions and feedback is welcome via the wiki.

Four different prototypes are described including the NBD prototype, Beta catalogue, single business prototype and the newspaper search and delivery prototype.

Find out what the Single Business Project is all about and the service framework that will support the Library’s intention to move to a service oriented architecture for digital library services. It has 39 services, organised into seven service groups including:

• Common services
• Content services
• Collection services
• Metadata services
• Discovery services
• Delivery services
• User services
