Key Indicator 9: Cataloguing hard copy newspaper titles
Most Australian newspapers (hard copy) are accessible through the NBD and most libraries report that catalogue records for newspapers published in their state/territory include detailed and up-to-date holdings information.[1] This data is largely unchanged from last year. Libraries reported only on the newspapers which they hold primary responsibility for under ANPlan.

Key Indicator 10: Cataloguing 1st generation microfilm masters
Six ANPlan libraries confirm that 100% of their first generation newspaper microfilm masters are catalogued according to the guidelines[2] which were developed in consultation with all ANPlan libraries in 2006. For the SLT and NTL, this is an increase from 0% and 15% reported last year. This is the first year that the SLV has reported for this Key Indicator. The SLNSW reports an increase from 65% to 70% first generation microfilm masters catalogued according to the guidelines.

Key Indicator 11: Cataloguing microfilm
The extent to which ANPlan libraries have been able to adopt the revised guidelines for all microfilmed titles (including all generations of microfilm) and with holdings attached to the correct format and generation varies across the ANPlan libraries.[3] Libraries have again reported only on newspaper titles which they hold primary responsibility for under ANPlan.
Five year plan reporting: A goal of the current Five Year Plan is to ensure that all generations of newspaper microfilm titles which ANPlan libraries hold responsibility for are catalogued onto the NBD, according to the microform cataloguing guidelines developed by ANPlan libraries in 2006, with holdings attached to the correct format and generation. Significant progress has been made over 2011/12, with five libraries (NLA, NTL, SLSA, SLT and SLWA) now reporting that their microfilm is catalogued in this way. For the SLT and NTL, this is an increase from 0% and 15%, respectively, reported last year. The SLNSW reports an increase from 65% to 70% of all generations of microfilm catalogued according to the guidelines.
Another goal of the Five Year Plan is to ensure that all digitised newspapers are catalogued onto the NBD, according to Libraries Australia's Guidelines for Cataloguing Remote Electronic Resources. The NLA reports that all completed digitised newspapers in Trove have a catalogue record of this type. Digitised newspapers which are not delivered through Trove remain largely uncatalogued.
