Reviewing the operation of the UnCover Australia service and looking to the future were the main topics at a meeting held between staff of the National Library of Australia and Martha Whittaker, General Manager of UnCover, and Ted Koppel, UnCover Information Systems Manager.

Martha emphasised the importance of the Australian market to UnCover and its' growth. Australia now makes up 10% of all UnCover traffic, and 65% of the traffic outside the USA and Canada.

Both the National Library and UnCover were happy with the level of service being provided.

Recent Developments

New suppliers of tables of contents and articles for UnCover include the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute with 800 titles in Marine Biology, two more medical schools adding depth to the material, and the IRIS consortium of universities in Ireland.

A range of significant new services begin in 1994, such as Reveal, Complete, SOS and the Re-distribution service.
