Summary subject collecting information (definitions of the ALG collecting levels are available for reference):
Comments: Serial & monograph collections broad enough to support systematic study of most countries & regions in the world, though not necessarily detailed physical & ecological characteristics. Special strength of the collection is detailed regional descriptions of the British Isles. Strong reference collection, with emphasis on acquisition of gazetteers. Collection is strongest for Europe, North America, East Asia & the Pacific. Comments: Basic collection of dictionaries, encyclopaedias, comprehensive global overviews & a few key serial titles covering various disciplines. Apart from the significant range & quantity of material acquired through deposit & exchange arrangements with various government instrumentalities & learned bodies, such as geological surveys, meteorological offices and oceanographic institutes, which approaches a higher level, the existing collection is predominantly at the basic or minimal level. Comments: Maps, atlases, aerial & remote sensing images, globes & electronic spatial data. Gazetteers & literature related to the science & art of map production. Significant historical collection of Australian maps & modern topographic mapping. Extensive overseas collection - current concentration on regions nearest to Australia. Standard topographic, aeronautical & hydrographic chart series are high priority. Wide range of thematic mapping & rare maps re European discovery & exploration of Australia.
