They do notify publishers before copying a website to the PANDORA archive, and may request publisher assistance if required. Selection also gives priority to six categories of publication: Commonwealth and ACT government publications Publications of tertiary education institutions Conference proceedings E-journals Titles referred by indexing and abstracting agencies Topical sites in nominated subject areas, collected on a rolling three-year basis, and those documenting issues of current social or political interest (such as elections, Sydney Olympics) As time and staff resources permit, high quality sites outside these categories may be included, within certain guidelines, for instance, "Personal sites will usually only be selected if they provide information of outstanding research value unavailable elsewhere or if they are of exceptional quality or particular interest".
