New CAUL website launched!

04/08/2010

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!

CAUL Statement on the Global Economic Crisis

27/05/2009

Australia's university libraries are preparing themselves to best ride out the effects of the economic downturn, in particular by opening discussions with the publishing industry with a view to retaining the current levels of access to the information resources for research and teaching so essential to their mission.

In January 2009, CAUL signed the ICOLC statement (http://www.library.yale.edu/consortia/icolc-econcrisis-0109.htm) supporting an international effort to make publishers and others aware of the likely impact of the global economic crisis on the mainly public sector libraries and higher education institutions who are the major source of revenue for scholarly publishers. ICOLC is the International Coalition of Library Consortia.

For further information and comment, please contact Andrew Wells, CAUL President and University Librarian of the University of New South Wales. 02 9385 2662
