Institute now on the Internet.

The article focuses on the home page of the Australian Institute of Family Studies which is now accessible via the World Wide Web. Like most Web sites, the Institute's Home Page will be an ongoing project and a means of reporting on the Institute's activities, of disseminating information from its databases and resource collections, and promoting the development of networks with other organisations concerned with family research and policy. The inaugural March 1996 version offers information about the Institute, the Institute's research program, information services and projects. Plans for the addition of new items in the next financial year include access to the Institute's library catalogue, to selected abstracts from the Australian Family and Society Abstracts database, and to databases and full text documents from the National Child Protection Clearing House. The full text of selected Institute publications and papers will also be made available, for example, the papers from the Institute's forthcoming Australian Family Research Conference.
