Historical Background

The AARLIN project is supported by its members and has been funded by Department of Education Science and Training (DEST) following a pilot project principally funded by Australian Research Council (ARC). The Council of Australian University Librarians (CAUL) has recognised the importance of this project.  In its Strategic Plan for 1999 to 2005, the AARLIN project was a priority.
