STRAIT to the future
8th Asia-Pacific Specials, Health and Law Librarians Conference
Papers
Rationale for publishing proceedings on the web
We have chosen to place the conference proceedings on the web for a number of reasons:
- To keep registration costs down
- Cost effective and saves on paper
- Because proceedings are generally not read cover to cover and therefore seemed suitable for web publishing
- Because it extended the decision of the previous conference committee (On the Edge, 1997) to publish both on the web and in-print.
- We considered our decision to be experimental and appropriate for a period of great change
- Because web publishing makes these proceedings globally available
- Web publishing also meant that we could include outcomes of the focus session, panel session etc. - something that would not have been possible had we provided proceedings at the conference.
- Finally, putting together a program was a huge task for a small committee. With other solid reasons in its favour, web publishing provided us with more time to develop other aspects of the program.
Hard copies of the proceedings are being published for deposit in the National Library, ALIA National Office and all State and Territory Libraries.
We encourage you to use these proceedings and to provide feedback to the Victorian committee if you have a strong preference for one particular format over another.
The full proceedings of the conference are not yet available. Additional papers will be added as they become available.
