AUSOM News Archive with searchable index

 

A DVD containing all issues of AUSOM News up to December 2009 was distributed to AUSOM members in April 2010. In addition to the magazine PDFs, this DVD contains a complete Index of all articles published since February 1996, published as a self-running FileMaker database (i.e.you don't need to own the FileMaker software to use it). The Index links directly to the archived magazines and thus to articles identified by the Index.

The Index is is regularly updated, and the update can be applied once the Index has been copied from the DVD to your hard disk. The latest update may be downloaded here.
