The ARROW (Australian Research Repositories Online to the World) Discovery Service has had a branding makeover. The ARROW project concluded in December 2008, and the new name is ARO (Australian Research Online) – a fortuitously homophonic new name.

Update your bookmarks as the URL has changed although at present a redirect is handling traffic. Similarly the email address has changed for contacts too.

The discovery service now has three government contributors:

• Defence Science and Technology Organisation Scientific Publications Online
• Queensland Primary Industries and Fisheries eResearch Archive
• South Australia Health

…  and in the future we can look forward to Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) and Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) content.
