SETIS: Electronic Texts at the University of Sydney Library: Creagh Cole describes a project dedicated to providing in-house access to a large number of electronic texts on CD-ROM.
Monash University Electronic Reserve project: Hans W. Groenewegen, Debbie Hedger and Iris Radulescu describe Monash University's Electronic Reserve Project which is at the core of the electronic library project at the University's new Berwick campus.
Preserving Oral History Recordings: Colin Webb and Kevin Bradley look at some of the practical realities, and implications, of introducing digital technology into the sound preservation functions of the National Library of Australia.
Australian Co-operative Digitisation Project, 1840-45: Ross Coleman describes a project which will create a unique research infrastructure in Australian studies through the digital conversion of Australian serials and fiction of the seminal period 1840-45.
