Australian Libraries Gateway
The Australian Libraries Gateway is a new Web-based directory service, which improves access to information about Australia's libraries. The National Library of Australia is developing this service as a key part of Australia's Cultural Network http://www.acn.net.au, a Web-based service which aims to be "the best place to start" for anyone interested in Australian culture. The first release of the Australian Libraries Gateway Web site can be found at http://www.nla.gov.au/libraries Among other things the Australian Libraries Gateway aims to be a directory of current information about every library in Australia there are presently more than 2,000 libraries in the database. Its goal is to be a "one-stop-shop" for Australian libraries and a vital tool for both Australian and international users.
