no access to AFR and BRW after March 31 2007
The library regrets that abstracts will replace full text coverage of the Australian Financial Review and access to the full text of Business Review Weekly will no longer be available from factiva after March 31 2007. The publisher, Fairfax Business Media, has informed us that these two publications will be withdrawn from the factiva database from which they are currently accessed. Currently there is no other suitable online alternative. Fairfax has also introduced terms and conditions for their new online access channel that are unworkable for academic institutions. In collaboration with colleagues at other institutions and with Fairfax, we hope to find a satisfactory outcome soon. Abstracts will replace full text coverage of the Australian Financial Review on factiva. The Library has current print and microfilm holdings of the AFR, while BRW is available in print only.

Watch this space for developments as they come to hand.
