Book Description
This study of the need for and feasibility of creating an Australian newspaper index comprises a brief historical background; an outline of the current position regarding access to newspapers, including the international scene; an assessment of the need for an Australian newspaper index; recommendations on the breadth and depth of subject coverage required for an index and the range of primary source material to be included; reasons for the failure of previous Australian newspaper indexes; recommendations regarding the physical form of the index, the level of indexing, and the responsibility for its compilation; an estimate of production costs; and a discussion of possible means of cost recovery. A computerized index with subject coverage of specified types of news appearing in the final editions of nine Australian newspapers is suggested. A supplementary section provides the text of a 1977 proposal by Thomson Publications to initiate an Info-Key Index; a critique of this proposal; and recommendations for short-term action based on one of three options--the Thomson index, a cooperative index produced by a consortium of Australian libraries, or an index commercially produced by Bell and Howell with or without participation by Australian libraries.
