This follows up on Geoff Huston's posting also.

The Australian Bibliographic Network is a commercial service which provides
 a database which can be used to  -

   Check bibliographic citations
   Find Australian Publications for material
   Generate catalogue records

         How to acces ABN over AARNet/Internet
         -------------------------------------
Individuals can get an account with the National Library as a 'Search only"
customer. They can use the Supersearch software to locate items. Training is needed to use this software. The 1991-92 ABN Charging schedule does not 
mention AARNet access so I am assuming that the dial up access charges apply.

 The costs would appear to be as follows -

    Joining fee               $150
    Monthly service charge      $9 per month
    Connect time (supersearch) $45 per hour
    Inquiry commands            $0.29 per chargeable command
    
    Supersearch training 
                   1 day      $160
                   2 days     $270
                   3 days     $375

Further details are obtainable from the ABN helpdesk 06 262 1531.

They are expecting to have email access next week but I have no address
 for enquiries yet.
