Community Publishing in Regional Australia

该计划旨在寻找新的方法来支持越来越多的澳大利亚地方居民，包括澳大利亚土著居民，他们使用数字技术编写和出版自己的书籍。该项目希望创造出有关这些社区实践及其文化和经济意义的先进知识，将有关图书未来的问题从跨国公司转移到地区社区。预期的成果包括提供工具包，为本地区的澳大利亚人提供访问和技能发展，并为行业提供市场知识。这将带来巨大的好处，包括市场开发，以确保澳大利亚图书行业的可持续性，以及推进澳大利亚地区文化的新方法。

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.
