About Trove
Trove is a new discovery experience focused on Australia and Australians. It supplements what search engines provide with reliable information from Australia's memory institutions.
If you are researching in the fields of the social sciences, literature, local or family history, or need inspiration for your school assignment, then this is the tool for you.
Trove was designed to:
* provide a single point of access to the resources of the deep web
* facilitate access to a significantly greater range of resources from major sources, including selected digitised material freely available online
* support searching of, and access to, full-text content
* enhance ease of discovery by providing improved relevance ranking, refinement by facets, FRBR-like grouping of related items (Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records) and exploitation of thesauri
* engage with communities and individuals through annotation services
* ensure that relevant information is not missed in a search by reducing the need to search material-specific discovery services separately
* provide a platform for niche services to query a vast resource of Australian metadata and adapt if for their own needs.
