AAA Conference 2008,
Australian Archaeological Association Conference 2008 3rd - 6th December, Noosa
FW: New BIAB on its wayAll of your archaeological references and
publications in one place:
www.biab.ac.uk
Do you ever feel like you spend most of your valuable research time
fruitlessly looking for references and publications? Do you desperately want
to find a single resource that can point you in the direction of around
200,000 items of research on a huge variety of subjects? The Council for
British Archaeology (CBA) has the answer...
The British and Irish Archaeological Bibliography (biab online) is the most
comprehensive list of everything ever written on British and Irish
archaeology. It contains around 200,000 records on a huge range of subjects
from Palaeolithic DNA to post-medieval housing, and from sources as
wide-ranging as published books, journals and post-graduate theses. Freebiab online can be found at www.biab.ac.uk

will see from the style the eNews consists largely of links.
Our
preferred form is a few lines at most, with a link or an email contact for
further information.
At
a pinch we may self-host longer documents to link in the eNews, but they must be
submitted as pdf or word documents as attachments to emails. They need some processing so
there may be a delay in their being used.
If
you are running a conference, we will usually run a link once only - and if you
don't have a website for it yet, then please tell us when you have.
Relevant
job advertisements are welcome - there is no charge.
