Community Publishing in Regional Australia

该项目旨在找到新的方法来支持越来越多的地区澳大利亚人，包括使用数字技术编写和出版自己的书籍的地区土著澳大利亚人。这个项目希望创造关于这些社区实践及其文化和经济意义的高级知识，将关于这本书的未来的问题从跨国公司转移到地区社区。预期成果包括为地区澳大利亚人提供准入和技能发展的工具包，以及为工业提供市场知识。这应该会带来巨大的好处，包括市场开发，以确保澳大利亚图书行业的可持续性，以及促进澳大利亚地区性文化的新方法。

This project aims to find new ways to support the increasing number of regional Australians, including regional Indigenous Australians, who use digital technologies to write and publish their own books. This project expects to create advanced knowledge of these community practices and their cultural and economic significance, shifting questions about the future of the book from multinational firms to regional communities. Expected outcomes include toolkits to provide access and skills development for regional Australians, and market knowledge for industry. This should provide significant benefits including market development to ensure the Australian book industry’s sustainability and new methods to advance regional Australia’s culture.
