Subject Gateways |
At its last meeting on 10 June 2005 the Australian Subject Gateways Forum (ASGF) decided that the ASGF be disbanded as of this date. It had fulfilled its original role of providing a forum for exchange of information between the existing and emerging subject gateway projects. At present most Australian subject gateways have reached maturity and need to move to new forms of networking activities. See the minutes of the 10 June 2005 meeting for more details. This website will be kept accessible, however it will have an 'archived' status and will not be updated from the end of 2005. The Australian Subject Gateways Forum (ASGF) was a group of subject gateways owners, formed in February 2000, who have developed gateway services for the Australian Higher Education sector. The ASGF aimed to facilitate information exchange between new and existing gateway projects, as well as identify and work on common issues needing to be addressed. The ASGF included a number of subject-specific gateways (covering areas such as agriculture, sustainable development, education, literature, law, music and performing arts) and non-subject specific gateways. The primary target audience for the gateways are under- and post-graduate students and lecturers in the HE sector, as well as professionals and researchers in the field. A subject gateway has been defined by the ASGF as: "a Web-based mechanism for accessing a collection of high quality, evaluated resources identified to support research and/or learning in a particular subject discipline". See: Definitions for Web-Based Services on this website for more details. The activities of the Forum were coordinated by the National Library of Australia's Coordination Support Branch.
