AIHW adopts
Print on demand publishing
The AIHW commenced print on demand (PoD) publishing in July. PoD publishing refers to digital printing of a publication ‘just in time’ instead of ‘just in case’. It eliminates wastage caused by overestimating printing runs, and provides savings in printing, warehousing and distribution costs.
The cost of PoD copies of publications is similar to the cost of current AIHW ‘for sale’ publications. An added benefit is that a publication is never ‘out of print’—it is stored electronically and printed off only when ordered.
Clients can continue to order and purchase publications through the AIHW website. Generally, after a publication order is received, it will be printed and despatched within two working days.
All AIHW publications are also made available for download free of charge from the AIHW website: www.aihw.gov.au.
