For a report on the forum see the inCite article by Sandra Henderson: Forum discusses national action plan from the May 2002 issue of inCite.

Points for discussion at the regional NPC meetings:

• What broad agreement is there on content and direction of an information agenda?
• If an action plan is needed, how is it to be developed and implemented?
• What are the primary issues for ALIA?
