<P><SPAN class=109190523-27102010><FONT face=Arial size=2>I would also love to
see more language materials published! We, the linguists at AIATSIS, will
be talking to the Director of Aboriginal Studies Press and the co-coordinator of
AIATSIS Research Publications about the publication needs for language
materials. Hopefully, e-publications will offer us a solution. We will pass them
what everyone has contributed so far. If you have any other information or
suggestions about e-publications, please let us know. </P>

<DIV></DIV>Off the topic: I'd love to see Aboriginal Studies Press expand its
range of eBooks along the lines of ANU E Press. In other words, there is an
editorial or peer-review process to maintain quality for print on demand titles
(free as a pdf). So it's not vanity and you get lots of readers. I'm a big fan
of the concept.A couple of weeks ago I attended an E Press book launch with no
physical book on display at the eventthis was not even remarked upon as unusual.
