Appendix D—Publications and products

The GRDC has a large number of publications and information products, in print, tape and electronic formats. Many hard copy products are provided free of charge (stocks of some free publications are limited), while others are sold to fully or partially recover the costs of publication. There are some publications which are available only in electronic format and can be found on the GRDC’s website at www.grdc.com.au.

The GRDC’s website also provides a catalogue of GRDC publications and an online bookshop. On average, the GRDC’s website homepage received approximately 109,500 hits per month in 2010–11. The bookshop received approximately 2,950 hits per month.

Most of the GRDC’s reports and publications are publicly available. One new publication was offered for sale during 2010–11: Disc seeding in zero-till farming systems. The new publications that were available free of charge are listed below.
