Copyright & A2K Issues - 17 February 2012

Hi Everyone,

This is a new software platform for my information service and it may appear differently on your screen.  However, the new system offers better accessibility to my Archives which can be found at http://www.africanlii.org/blogs/denise. To access the Archives of my previous mailing list, see: http://lists.wits.ac.za/mailman/private/copyrightanda2kinfo/ (access for subscribers only)

For information about this Service, to access the Archive, or to subscribe/unsubscribe, please email Ker...@africanlii.org.  

Please let me know what you think of the new format and if you have any other comments or suggestions via Denise.N...@wits.ac.za

Regards

Denise
