Mark your calendars and make some space on your bookshelves. Brisbane’s oldest book fair is back from 3 May–6 May!📚Register for free: alumni.uq.edu.au/uq-alumni-book…
Last week, we shared some projects specific to Anzac Day, especially relating to World War I. In case you missed these, the full sets of slides are over on our Instagram page: instagram.com/austlit_austra…
It's Hug an Australian Day! AustLit intern David Tang has put together these books by @nickblandbooks, Aaron Blabey, and Emily S. Smith. Not interested in hugging? Don't worry! @sophiebeerdraws has you covered with all the other ways to say hello.
This collection of contemporaneous magazine fiction by Sumner Locke, who never lived to see the end of World War I, takes place in a bright, brittle, ironic, and often brutal world of endless war. austlit.edu.au/parasols
The BlackWords information trail Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders in War foregrounds the soldiers who served Australia in war from the Boer War to the present, but who received limited recognition, especially in wars before the late 1960s.

Launched to mark the centenary of World War I, World War I in Australian Literary Culture extensively maps accounts of the conflict from contemporary works to the most recent publications. austlit.edu.au/ww1
Today, on Anzac Day, we are highlighting three AustLit projects that focus on World War 1. Full slides can also be found on our Instagram account. instagram.com/austlit_austra…
Audiobooks on AustLit are currently listed under 'Formats', and while searchable, do not have full bibliographical information listed. The quick video below demonstrates searching for novels with audiobooks in the current system.
Readers of our newsletter might have seen that AustLit is currently partnering on @Millicent_Weber's ARC DECRA project Audiobooks and Digital Book Culture to exoand coverage of audiobooks in the AustLit database, and we would love to hear from potential users of this data.
In addition to the colour change on search results pages, you'll notice an accessibility-driven change on the Advanced Search page, with a default label added to drop-down menus. These are part of an ongoing suite of changes to improve accessibility.
You might have noticed a cosmetic change on AustLit search pages: the search results that were previously orange (works) and turquoise (people) (image 1) are now a fetching brown and dark blue (images 2 & 3). This is part of a current suite of changes to improve accessibility.
Today's favourite cover image is this absolute stunner by Dylan Finney for Tylissa Elisara's Wurrtoo: look at that light! This is out now from Lothian.
You know, we have a research project that's relevant to this conundrum ... austlit.edu.au/preppers

Congratulations! Great news.
@AustLit It means the world has more good readers and also more good books - and that fabulous work is rewarded with recognition.
@AustLit Brilliant news! An organisation that is loved and backed by so many booksellers and readers. Congratulations to all those involved.
@AustLit So much! And the award is enough to give many more children gorgeous books.
