LibraryLearningSpace is an iGroup (Asia Pacific) website. It is the new home of  ACCESS: Asia's Newspaper on Electronic Information Products & Services, which no longer has a print edition.

iGroup (Asia Pacific) Limited is a Hong Kong registered multinational organization with offices spanning 14 countries in the Asia Pacific region and with a total staff force of over 1000.

The first issue of ACCESS: Asia's Newspaper on Electronic Information Products & Services was published in 1992 in Singapore by Knowledge Share International for the companies which later became the iGroup. Its role was to showcase the new databases and storage technologies which libraries in Asia could deploy for their students and faculty.

Through the years ACCESS reported every quarter on electronic publishing news, conference dates and features on what libraries in the region were doing. From CD-ROM to CD networking, from hard disc to internet delivery, ACCESS covered it all.

The last print issue, published in December 2012, was succeeded by ACCESS@librarylearning space.com.  The reporting of the website and ACCESS eNewsletter is broader than the print edition covering copyright issues, online learning, data curation, digitization as well as product, publishing and technology news.  There?s also more news from libraries in the Asia and Pacific region. You can register on the home page to receive the free of charge twice monthly ACCESS eNewsletter by email.
