The eLEP web service - Statistics @ your Library!
What is the eLEP service?
The eLEP services gives free full text access to all ABS publications issued since 1998. The service is available on the ABS web site. There are 4,500 issues of more than 700 ABS titles in eLEP.
Every ABS publication issued since 1998 is included in the eLEP service in full text - not just the selected set of ABS publications in the LEP Core Lists.
The publications in eLEP are fully searchable using the search engine on the ABS web site and as eLEP is integrated with the rest of the ABS web site, your clients will be able to find all the available information on their topic of interest in one place.
The eLEP service was launched in 2001. Since then the National Library of Australia and all the state libraries have subscribed, as have more than 300 public and TAFE libraries. If your library would like to subscribe you will find an Order Form and helpful information on the LEP pages of the ABS web site.
The best of both worlds - eLEP plus the ABS Flagship List
As an LEP member your library service will gain twice by subscribing to the eLEP service - as well as the full text access to all ABS publications in eLEP your library will also receive hard print copies of all the ABS Flagship titles. The Flagship titles for LEP member libraries include key reference titles such as Year Book Australia and Australian Social Trends as well as all the Census publications for your state.
