> Dear Mr Barry
>
> The National Library of Australia aims to build a comprehensive  
> collection of Australian publications to ensure that Australians  
> have access to their documentary heritage now and in the future.  
> The Library has traditionally collected items in print, but it is  
> also committed to preserving electronic publications of lasting  
> cultural and research value.
>
> PANDORA, Australia’s Web Archive, was set up by the Library in 1996  
> to enable the archiving and provision of long-term access to online  
> Australian publications. Since then we have been identifying online  
> publications and archiving those that we consider have national  
> significance. Additional information about PANDORA can be found on  
> the Library's server at: http://pandora.nla.gov.au/index.html
>
> We would like to include the Link list on Australian network policy  
> and communications in the PANDORA Archive and I would be grateful  
> if you would let me know whether you are willing to permit us to do  
> so, that is, grant us a licence under the Copyright Act 1968, to  
> copy your publication into the Archive and to provide public online  
> access to it via the Internet. This means that you would grant the  
> Library permission to retain your publication in the Archive and to  
> provide public access to it in perpetuity.
>
> If you are willing to grant us such a licence, please complete the  
> short form at the end of this message and return it to me.

> There are some benefits to you as a publisher in having your  
> publication archived by the Library. If you grant us a copyright  
> licence, the Library will take the necessary preservation action to  
> keep your publication accessible as hardware and software changes  
> over time. The Library will catalogue your publication and add the  
> record to the National Bibliographic Database (a database of  
> catalogue records shared by over 1,100 Australian libraries), as  
> well as to our own online catalogue. This will increase awareness  
> of your publication among researchers using libraries.

>       If you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact me,
