Appendix 4: Use of Consultants


The Library engaged 48 consultants at a total cost of $A1 133 711. Consultancies which cost more than $A2000 are listed below.

Consultants are engaged when there is a requirement for specialised services that cannot be undertaken by Library staff due to lack of expertise or insufficient in-house resources. The successful consultant is selected on the basis of value for money. A large number of consultancies relate to database projects, including system analysis, programming and maintenance; indexing; and exhibition design.
