Many of you will already recognize the National Library of Australia as a
source of the very highest quality guidelines.

Dan
The National Library of Australia has just produced a set of guidelines to
assist the creators and publishers of web resources called "Safeguarding
Australia's web resources : guidelines for creators and publishers"
http://www.nla.gov.au/guidelines/2000/webresources.html

The guidelines provide advice on creating, describing, naming and managing
web resources to facilitate their ongoing use. The practices that are
recommended will make it easier to carry out future preservation actions,
which may be necessary in the longer term to maintain continued access to
important resources.

A printed version of the guidelines is also available and may be obtained by
