ILRS Prototype

ALG is currently heavily used for interlibrary lending purposes and you may be interested in providing comment on the prototypes for the new Australian Interlibrary Lending Resource Sharing (ILRS) Directory.

The Library expects to release the redeveloped ILRS Directory in the final quarter of 2000. The new ILRS service will be based on the framework used for the Australian Libraries Gateway (ALG). It will offer similar functionality to ALG (eg searching and online updating) and will share some data across products.

Please remember that these *are* only prototypes and that we want your feedback! Links to the 'Search' option in the top of screen will not, for example, take you to the search option. The ILRS-L discussion list has been established as an open, unmoderated list so you can participate in discussions about the redeveloped Australian ILRS Directory or you can simply send your comments to ilrs@nla.gov.au.

Read Around Australia 2000

Read Around Australia 2000 Celebration Day is on August 25. The program aims to stimulate students' interest in reading through participating in a variety of actual and online activities.

ALG has its own list of 'Book clubs & reading groups'. Let us know if there are any local clubs with a web presence that we should also include on the page.

Futures in the Past

The Australian Historical Association Conference will be held on 5-9 July 2000. ALG promotional materials have been provided for the conference satchels.

ALG currently has over 300 libraries listed under the "Local/Family History" library type, many of these from local historical associations. We are always happy to add new libraries to ALG! Please let us know about any we have missed!

Conferences Galore this month - the Australian Law Librarians Group (ALLG) is holding the Law Librarians' Symposium 2000, at the University of Technology, Sydney 18-21 July. ALG material will appear in promotional satchels.
