http://www-personal.une.edu.au/~mcook1/Cancs2009.htm
The list is published for the information of UNE researchers.
Any further recommendations for cancellation, or intervention from another School wanting to “adopt” or take up the attribution of journal titles proposed for cancellation must be directed to Heads of School or the School’s LLO, then from the HoS/LLO to the Serials and Electronic Resources Librarian Mardi Cook (mcook1@une.edu.au) by Friday, 15th August. If no correspondence is received by Friday the 15th of August it will assumed that the nominated recommendations will stand.
