THE AUSTRALIANS AT THE BOER WAR

PUBLISHED JOINTLY BY THE AUSTRALIAN WAR MEMORIAL AND THE AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT PUBLISHING SERVICE In all facets of life there are professional men who follow a career according to well-established principles, and others who attempt things for which they are not equipped. History writing is not short of amateur practitioners; perhaps this is because it seems so easy to describe a set of occurrences. All one requires is a few published sources, fair writing ability, and a publisher, and another history book is served up to the public. It is evident that the reading public is less selective in selecting history books than it is in the purchase of works on other subjects - for instance no-one will buy a medical book unless it is written by a doctor, and a book about sport will only sell if it is written by someone well-known for sporting achievements.

The View from Down Under

Discusses the user pay approach in Australia with particular reference to Government publications. Notes that although the Australian Government Publishing Service (AGPS) has been increasing its prices gradually it still provides free deposit copies of all its publications to the State and many university libraries. Concludes that government policies are being driven by economic crisis and appeals to the principles of free information and equality of access are perceived by politicians and administrators as being unrealistic.

Malaysian library deposit legislation and use of official publications

The Preservation of Books Act 1966 and the Deposit of Library Material Act 1986 are examined for their effects or possible effects upon access and use of Malaysian official publications. It is found that in terms of general access and use the Preservation of Books Act was more effective. The right of public access to government publications indicates the need for wider dissemination of such materials. A national publishing and distribution centre for official documents along the lines of the Australian Government Publishing Service (AGPS) with local modifications, is proposed.
