Australian Conspectus

Until November 1998, the National Library of Australia maintained the Australian Conspectus Database to record the collecting activities of Australian libraries. The Database no longer exists but information about Australian library collecting is maintained, by libraries, and made available free via the Australian Libraries Gateway (ALG) - refer to individual library entries as well as the page about Australian library collection assessment reports.
