Abstract

Computer technology, particularly in the area of data bases and networking systems, enables arts librarians to overcome some of the problems engendered by isolation and great distances. The Australia Council Library aims to provide greatly increased access to its large collection of press clippings on the arts in Australia through its data base, ARTSDOC. The artists’ file, a 22,500 record, A-Z sequence of press clippings covering the past decade, forms the basis of ARTSDOC. It is anticipated that input from 1986 onward will include all press clippings culled by the Library, whether they are artists’ clippings or more broadly subject based.
