The National Library of Australia may soon start collecting pornographic websites.

The library\’s latest newsletter said it was looking to add websites to its extensive collection of erotica.

Electronic librarian Edgar Crook said in the newsletter the adult websites would be added to the National Collection of Electronic Publications \”thus giving a representative picture of Australian erotica on the Internet\”.

Mr Crook said the library already had such \”weighty volumes\” as Big \’n\’ Bouncy and Bra Busters, among other magazines.
