PADIUpdate database

The PADI web site <URL:http://www.nla.gov.au/padi> is a
comprehensive international subject gateway for the exchange of
information on all aspects of digital preservation.

Global cooperation has been a key focus of the PADI initiative to
date, with users from around the world searching for resources,
suggesting new resources and participating in PADI's discussion
list, padiforum-l.

This cooperative approach has recently been extended with the
introduction on 27 June of the PADIUpdate interface for directly
contributing records to the PADI web site.

The National Library of Australia invites all those with an interest
in ensuring continuing access to digital information to visit and
use the site at <URL:http://www.nla.gov.au/padiupdate>.

An online Help Manual is available to assist users, as well as
selection guidelines for choosing resources which fall within the
scope of the PADI database.

To register as a new indexer, or obtain further information about
PadiUpdate, please contact the PADI Administrator at
padi [at] nla__gov__au. Feedback on use of the new system is encouraged,
and should be forwarded to the same address.
