About State Library of NSW

The State Library of NSW is the oldest library in Australia. It began as a small subscription library in the 1820s for colonials who were desperate to read books. In 1869 the Australian Subscription Library was acquired by the Government of NSW to establish the Sydney Free Public Library, the first truly public library for the people of NSW. As the first library in the country to concentrate entirely on Australian content, the Mitchell Library officially opened in 1910.

Overview

CEP Project was put into action to improve the reader’s experience of the library’s catalogue. We were involved in designing the system architecture, building the data pipeline, designing the underlying data model, including creating resilient microservices with API orientation. Our team worked together to comprehend the requirements and specifications including the current data schema of the existing systems.

This collaboration work of Kororo and the SLNSW team resulted in the system design development and flow diagrams on how the data should be processed in distributed systems. Along the way, one of the main technical issues was solved by finding ways to integrate huge quantities of data from various systems and process the data in such a way to improve speed and reduce the real-time system dependencies.
