The
Council of the National Library of Australia, under section
9 of the Commonwealth
Authorities and Companies Act 1997, provides this
Report to the Minister for the Arts and Sport for the financial
year ending 30 June 2002.
The
Report incorporates additional charts and graphs to assist
readability and provide a more user-friendly approach.
A
new feature this year is the inclusion of the preceding summary
overview of the financial position of the Library at 30
June, to support the more detailed financial statements.
Changes
to the Outcome–Output structure
This
Report reflects a slight adjustment to the Outcome–Output
structure used to present the Library’s 2000–01 portfolio
budget statements. The Library has adjusted the number of
outputs from seven to four, to better align reporting level
requirements to a more appropriate level for an authority
the size of the National Library.
The
changes to the Output structure are as follows.
- ‘Output
1.1 The Collection’ reflects the former ‘Output Group
1.1 The Collection’, and amalgamates the former ‘Output
1.1.1 Collection Development and Description’ and ‘Output
1.1.2 Collection Maintenance’.
- ‘Output
1.2 Information Services’ reflects the former ‘Output
Group 1.2 Information Services’, and amalgamates the former
‘Output 1.2.1 Reference Services’ and ‘1.2.2 Collection
Delivery’.
- ‘Output
1.3 Public Programs’ reflects the former ‘Output 1.2.3
Public Programs’.
- ‘Output
1.4 Australian Library Network Services’ reflects the
former ‘Output 1.3.1 Resource Sharing Services’, which together
with the former ‘1.3.2 Collaborative Library Projects’ formed
the former ‘Output Group 1.3 Australian Library Network
Services’.
The
former ‘Output 1.3.2 Collaborative Library Projects’ was eliminated
as a stand-alone output, as collaboration is an integral part
of all Library activity and has been attributed across the
new outputs.
