New CAUL website launched!

After a very long gestation, and the migration of 1,700 pages and links made to more than 6,000 documents, the new CAUL website is ready.

Your old links should be automatically redirected to the new site, but if not, please use the navigation options or the search function from the top of each page.  If you are still unable to find what you were looking for, please contact us immediately at caul@caul.edu.au and tell us the URL of the page you were looking for.

The old web site will remain accessible as http://archive.caul.edu.au/ [from Thursday August 5] though will be static -- it will not be updated.

A major difference is that members-only pages will now require your personalised login rather than a site login.  Register from the top of the page.

Enjoy!
