Online publishing, content management systems, publishing processes
RMIT Publishing has been an electronic publisher for the past 12 years. We have served the academic and research community with 80+ research databases across a range of disciplines both on CD-ROM and online via the Informit range of products. RMIT Publishing is now embarking on a new publishing program - making the full text of Australian research materials available to libraries, educational institutions, government departments and agencies, research centres and associated groups. This program is being called Informit Library and will include online journals, monographs, textbooks, conference proceedings, research reports, working papers and other grey literature not readily available in print or online. Much in the same way we have aggregated indexing of research with our databases, we are now seeking to aggregate the content of that research, making access easier for institutional users and establishing a permanent archive of Australian research information. At present much work is being done to obtain non-exclusive licences to the material and to develop a content management system that allows the greatest flexibility in customising content and the interface.
