THE
PARLIAMENT STACK CD ROM Stacks
of information about Australia's federal
parliamentarians The Parliamentary Education
Office will be developing an online version of The parliament
Stack at some time. See the PEO website at http://www.peo.gov.au/tps/ for further information. The
Parliament CD was an innovative resource for use
in education, and by lobbyists, public servants and
companies that needed information about Australia's
federal parliament. In primary and secondary
schools, students and teachers could use The
Parliament CD in Social Education, Politics,
Australian Studies, Legal Studies, Geography,
Mathematics, Computer Studies, History, Economics,
Media Studies, Environmental Studies and English
Issues. The
Parliament CD was recognised internationally as
one of the most significant Australian educational
products developed for the Macintosh. Released in
April 1992 in versions for the Macintosh (on
diskette and on CD ROM) and for Microsoft Windows,
it was the culmination of over two years
development work, reinforced with on-going
evaluation and modified where required in response
to feedback from users. Interactive
Multimedia Pty Ltd was licensed exclusively to
manufacture and distribute The Parliament CD
in Australia. A publicly accessible version
of The Parliament Stack, SaMIS or
Senators and Members Biographical Information
System, was installed for use by casual users
visiting Parliament House in three information
kiosks for more than four years, with over 500,000
uses registered during that time. Contents Selected
data could be printed or exported for use by other
applications. System
