NLA cancelling @wragge’s #Trove API key is mean and stupid. This is NLA’s “not invented here” chip on their shoulder.
Over many years I’ve been a big fan of Trove and then (maybe?) its regular critic. Not being part of the Trove-GLAM industry meant I had more freedom to criticise. Not because I enjoy criticising but because after Tim left it cared more about its reputation than about its users. Spin won out over diligence. Quantity over quality.
I wrote about #FundTrove presented as grassroots but really being a masked industry campaign. Recently I mentioned Trove budget’s double-dipping.
But people can’t keep “loving” Trove that takes them for granted. They can’t care forever.

@wragge How frustrating! One wonders if Trove even has in-house ability to update its own API? But this is SNAFU at NLA and has been for some years. (I know this is not news to you of course.) I think millions in funding doesn’t fix Trove in the absence of cultural change at NLA. NLA needs to stop seeing Trove as their love machine and start seeing themselves as a diligent service provider to the Australian public.
P.S. The latest annual report shows NLA double dipped by taking extra Commonwealth funding while hanging onto Trove Collaborative Services income. #fundTrove #TroveAU #NationalLibraryAU
