NATIONAL TRAINING PROGRAMME: SYDNEY, MELBOURNE

The AustLII National Training Programme in Internet Legal Research, presented in conjunction with Continuing Legal Education (CLE) at UNSW, is being held in Sydney at UNSW on Friday, 1 June 2007 and in Melbourne on Friday, 15 June 2007. Register early as places are limited.

This full day course provides a systematic introduction to Australian and international legal materials on the Internet, with an emphasis on those materials available for free access. The huge variety of free-access digital resources that have become available in recent years make them indispensable both to those who depend on free access, and to those who also have access to the commercial legal publishers' services. The course includes:

DOES YOUR ORGANISATON SUPPORT AUSTLII?

AustLII's financial support from the Australian Research Council ceased at the end of last year. AustLII therefore requires considerably more stakeholder support, and a wider group of stakeholders, than the 50 organisations currently supporting AustLII.

If you are a regular user of our free service, please consider if you or your organisation are in a position to provide us with any funding assistance to enable us to continue to provide, and improve, free access to legal materials online. Our current funding sources are detailed at <http://www.austlii.edu.au/austlii/sponsors/>.
