I for one would like to hear from you Glen, esp. seeing
reports like this from
http://www.it.fairfax.com.au/e-commerce/20010226/A25226-2001Feb26.html

"Libraries will have exemptions similar to the ones they
already hold for distributing information but they will
not be able to build up searchable collections, or
provide material in competition with commercial providers."

I find that particularly interesting, as my brother is
working on a project (or maybe was working?) at the NLA to
do exactly that - build up a searchable collection of web
sites that the NLA deems culturally/historically important
(or some such thing).

Cheers,
