of online publications. They are available both online and in hard copy,

who do not already have well-established digital data management procedures
in place. <www.nla.gov.au/guidelines/webresources.html>.

Agencies
Prepared by the National Library together with the National Archives
of Australia and the National Office for the Information Economy, this

that online Commonwealth government publications remain accessible to
Australians in the future. <www.nla.gov.au/guidelines/govpubs.html>.
