Abstract
The Publications Committee consists of six members. Each member of the Committee will be invited to provide a guest editorial, to introduce the Committee members to the readership. The editorial will have the rubic of Publications and the AASW'. The editorial will introduce the readership to the views and beliefs of individual Committee members in relation to publications; as such it will not necessarily reflect AASW publication policy. We begin with Dr. Jim Barber.
OVER five years ago now, the Board of Directors commissioned me to conduct a review of Australian Social Workand to canvass the options for change at the November 1995 Board meeting in Canberra. I was told that there had been persistent complaints within some branches about the quality of the journal and its relevance to the membership at large.
