The issues raised at the conference have received the support of the NSW Vice-Chancellor's Conference and McLean anticipates further action at the national level. This action may be in the form of some reference within the soon to be released West Committee report. The development of a five year plan and some restructuring by JISC shows that the outcomes of the Report are still being built on. It has only been possible to give superficial treatment to the issues here, but the electronic sources listed at the end of the paper will provide current information. The development of information strategies with Australian higher education institutions will be a significant benefit to Australia from the Follett Report.
Information is the lifeblood of higher education institutions.
