IFACCA PUBLICATIONS ARCHIVE IMPROVED

IFACCA, 21 July 2005

In every edition of ACORNS we highlight publications relating to arts and cultural policy. From today, you will notice two improvements. First, each publication will include a publication date and author (if known) and our administrator, Louise Godley, has painstakingly added dates to the 329 publications already stored in the archive. Secondly, the publications will be searchable from the ACORNS archive on our home page. In cases where the links are out of date, we suggest you search for the title in your favourite search engine. If you know of publications that would be of interest to your colleagues, please email us. more >
