Exploring Trove Images
TroveMosaic is an experimental interface for the Trove picture search. Enter a query, and it will build a mosaic from the top 500 records. Group the results by title, collection or decade for different views, and click an image to see it in its home collection.
This project is the work of Mitchell Whitelaw, part of an ongoing project creating generous interfaces for digital cultural collections. Along with the Manly Images interface, TroveMosaic was funded by the State Library of New South Wales.
TroveMosaic requires a modern, standards-compliant browser like Chrome, Safari or Firefox. It is designed for desktop browsers and probably won't work perfectly on mobile or tablet devices (yet).
Trove picture search contains over 7.3 million images on almost every conceivable subject. Hundreds of organisations contribute material including the University of Queensland Library, Queensland Department of Public Works, Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads, Geoscience Australia, Royal Geographical Society of South Australia, Australian Academy of Science, Australian Institute of Marine Science, Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation, CSIRO, and the Defence Science and Technology Organisation.

Telehealth making a move
The Telehealth Centre at the PA Hospital is close to being opened. Staff at the PACE/PAH Health Sciences Libraries had a visit from Associate Professor Anthony Smith, Centre for Online Health in April this year. He gave us a presentation on the Online Health Centre which is now located in a third of the existing PA Hospital Library space.
The Centre for Online Health is a joint venture between the PA Hospital and the UQ Centre for Online Health - Richard Ashby has been quoted as saying it is to be the "best in the world".
Paediatric telemedicine has been operating for the last 10 years at the Royal Childrens Hospital - more than 15,000 consultations have occurred.
The new adult service based at PA Hospital will offer telehealth in five clinical groups - Endocrinology/Diabetes, Dermatology, Geriatrics and Psychiatry.
There is now Medicare funding for telehealth consultations which will drive the uptake of the service. A Melbourne GP has created a free website designed to connect doctors via Skype - it is available at consultonline.com.au
