Help (Guide to the Report)

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.
