Abstract
The present status of library automation in Australia is outlined. It provides background for an exploration of issues arising when local network operations consider their relationship to the national Australian Bibliographic Network. Some specific aspects of linking that concern regional networks such as CLANN and CAVAL are considered, with particular reference to provision of service, standards, network technology, contractual framework, economics and governance.
