NSLA members met at the National Library of Australia in March. Along with roundtable discussions with representatives from the Ministry for the Arts and Copyright Agency Ltd, the agenda included discussion of a national approach towards the legal deposit of digital materials and confirmation of a week-long event this August highlighting the role of libraries in collecting and preserving the digital record. Members also examined our achievements against the strategies set out in Leading Collaboration 2015-2017. Read the full meeting report.
