Abstract
A study of how the principles of UAP (Universal Availability of Publications) have been applied to non-book materials and their availability in Australia is presented. The author considers in detail the principal elements of UAP : publication, bibliographic organization, retention and interlending. The recently developed concept of the distributed National Collection is seen to be helpful in achieving many of the aims of UAP. The Australian Bibliographic Network (ABN), a cooperative online shared cataloguing facility which includes non-print records, will likewise help to increase awareness of what is available. Barries to UAP are identified : copyright, and neighbouring rights, the non identification of AV publishers, and the obsolescence of formats.
