Electronic Information Resources
Strategies and Action Plan 2002–2003

In 2001 the Library released a document outlining its strategies for electronic information resources.  The paper covered:

  • Collecting
  • Preservation
  • Access
  • Resource Sharing

The Library has revised the Plan to cover the period 2002–2003. 

New projects for the current year include the development of a costing model for archiving, preserving and providing access to electronic resources; replacement of the resource discovery infrastructure to provide enhanced services; and active participation in online reference services.

To provide interested readers with an indication of progress against last year’s goals, a document has been developed which provides a progress report on each of the actions in the original document. This is available on the Library’s web site, as is the new plan for the current year. They can be accessed at www.nla.gov.au/policy/electronic/resourcesplanindex.html

The new plan will also be available as a printed brochure.
