Past issues of ELRR now online

We have now commenced the process of digitising previous issues of The Economic and Labour Relations Review. Initially, they will be available as 300 dpi scanned PDFs since they're faster to prepare and you can obtain them earlier. Once that is complete, we will progressively replace them with higher quality, text-searchable PDFs.

Our first offering is ELRR Vol 11 No 2 (December 2000). Do let us know what you think.
