The fact is that most retailers, their promotions department and other staff are usually unaware of the differences between Auslan and
other sign languages. As a result consumers looking for Australian Sign Language products are often, mistakenly directed towards Foreign
Sign Language based products.
ACARA has begun preparing an introductory guide for all retail outlets, encouraging them to ensure that staff are aware of the differences
and identify this to their clients. To help them, special reports and searching facilities are being developed within the secure 'members login',
where retailers will be able to search for products, identify from ISBN and other identifiers, a products sign language basis, and easily
identify those products that are Auslan in basis...for more about the project see News - Product Database
