from the Library’s collection to be displayed to the public, and a new general gallery are in the final design stages. As part of the gallery construction, a new entrance will be created ANNUAL REPORT 2009–2010 for the Main Reading Room, with a new service desk, an informal reading area and improved facilities for book delivery. When the reading room integration is complete, at a later stage, the entire ground floor of the Library will be opened to the public.
While the Library has, over the past decade, gained an international reputation for delivering innovative online services and managing digital collections, it is increasingly difficult to manage growing demand for services, such as providing copies and answering reference enquiries, which arise from our visibility in the online world. It is also crucial to recognise the investment in technology and other resources needed to facilitate the NATIONAL LIBRARYNATIONAL AUSTRALIAOF Library’s ability to collect and preserve Australia’s documentary heritage in digital form. The greatest challenges facing the Library today are those of dealing with the ‘digital deluge’ and of meeting the expectations of the Australian public for increased access to online information resources.
It has been a great privilege to be closely involved with an institution that can properly be seen as a National Treasure. Especially satisfying have been my links as Chairman with an outstanding Director-General and the Library’s high calibre staff. Finally, I thank all those members of Council with whom I served during my Chairmanship. It has been a pleasure to be associated with them in such a rewarding endeavour.

Trove recognises the user community’s desire to contribute to and participate in developing the resource. It enables the community to tag, comment, improve data and organise results. Similar tools were first released in the Australian Newspapers service to allow the public to annotate text in digitised newspapers. Trove is an exemplar of
ANNUAL REPORT 2009–2010 the Web 2.0 philosophy of services and is the most ambitious online service we have
developed. It is a powerful and indispensable national portal received positively by tens of thousands of users.
Trove is the most recent example of our success as a global innovator in the library community’s online environment. The Library operates firmly in this environment and online services are part of, and integrated into, almost all aspects of the Library’s operations.
Our online services include a website, which provides information about and links to the
NATIONAL LIBRARYNATIONAL AUSTRALIAOF Library’s collections, services, exhibitions and other activities; the online catalogue for finding and requesting items from the Library’s collections; online reference services by email, chat and enquiry forms; services supporting special communities, such as PADI: Preserving Access to Digital Information; and Trove.
Comparison of traffic to global websites indicates that the Library is a significant presence in the online environment. Visits to our website consistently and markedly outrank those of other Australian cultural institutions, such as the National Archives of Australia, the Australian War Memorial and the National Museum of Australia, both in Australia and internationally. We also compare well with the world’s largest national libraries, the Library of Congress and the British Library. Of these three libraries, the National Library outranks both the others in Australia and lies between the Library of Congress and the British Library in world rankings. Given the substantially smaller size of the National Library, this is a measure of the success of our investment in online service.
The Library has invested significantly in information technology to support delivery of our online services. The Library’s Information Technology Division’s annual expenditure accounts for approximately 9 per cent ($6.8 million) of total operational expenditure and 59 per cent ($3.0 million) of capital expenditure for plant, equipment and software.
It is evident our users expect simple and powerful online discovery and access services, as well as rich and growing online content. These expectations present challenges the Library can no longer meet.
Storing, managing and delivering existing digital collections are stretching the limits of our capabilities and resources. We need an increased investment in our capacity to collect, store and manage digital content to cope with massively increased amounts of collection material created and distributed in digital form. We need more robust tools for collecting and preserving digital collections with vastly increased storage capacity.
We now find it increasingly difficult to meet our statutory obligations in the face of this ‘digital deluge’ and our reducing budget. collections.

• The collection of the Burmese civil servant and scholar, U Shein Tan. The collection, consisting of 147 books, 37 journal issues and 58 pamphlets, focuses on Burmese law, government and the military during the 1960s to the 1980s, a key period in recent Burmese history. ANNUAL REPORT 2009–2010
• The first printed copy of Blinky Bill, the Quaint Little Australian, which is inscribed to the author, Dorothy Wall, from the publisher. • The final edition of Relations de divers voyages curieux ... nouvelle edition, augmentée de plusieurs relations curieuses by Melchisedec Thévenot (Paris, 1696), a collection of travel stories augmented with additional text on the voyages of Abel Tasman’s charting of the Australian coast. This edition contains the rarest example of the map Nova Hollandia Detecta 1644. • A catalogue of a collection of valuable and interesting books sold at auction by
NATIONAL LIBRARYNATIONAL AUSTRALIAOF Messrs Puttick and Simpson on 10 March 1868. The Journal of the H.M.S. Endeavour, 1768–1771 was one of the 20 lots relating to the life and voyages of James Cook listed in this auction catalogue and it was bought for H.W.F. Bolckow for £14 15s. Bolckow later sold the journal through Sotheby, Wilkinson & Hodge to the National Library of Australia in 1923. • Blog sites of Jessica Watson, the young Australian who sailed solo non-stop and unassisted around the world in 2009–10, and of the Australian Ballet (Behind Ballet) which gives insights into stories behind their productions; and the official website of the Australian pavilion at Shanghai Expo 2010. (These are managed in and accessible through PANDORA: Australia’s web archive.) • Arrowsmith’s 1838 edition of The London Atlas of Universal Geography, containing the latest mapping and discoveries in the Australian colonies, and the diminutive Atlas of the British Empire, made for Queen Mary’s doll’s house in 1925 and, at four centimetres, the smallest atlas ever printed. • Digital copies of some 200 Soviet army intelligence maps of Australia and an original lithographed paper sheet covering the Canberra region produced in the 1970s as part of USSR military preparedness. • A collection of 16 watercolours of South Australian scenes by William Rodolph Thomas, including a view of the Torrens River, dated 1849, which shows Indigenous people in bark shelters. Although lacking detail, it is evidence of continuity of Indigenous habitation in the area. • Self-portraits of the artists John Glover and Antonio Dattilo-Rubbo, and a portrait of composer Peggy Glanville-Hicks by Joyce McGrath. Also of interest is Jeff Martin’s 2009 oil painting of the kitchen of Tetsuya’s restaurant, conveying the energy of the kitchen under the watchful eye of the master chef. • The photographic archive of Peter Dombrovskis, comprising 3,580 colour transparencies of Australian wilderness landscapes, and an album compiled by Nellie Babcock, which includes very early photographs of life on the Victorian goldfields, taken by Walter Woodbury in 1856–57.

We have greatly appreciated financial contributions from supporters during 2009–10. The
NATIONAL LIBRARYNATIONAL AUSTRALIAOF National Library of Australia Fund was established in 2009 to help continue developing the collections and making them accessible to all Australians. Many individuals donated to this fund, several at levels that brought recognition as Patrons of the National Library. Further generous support has assisted the Norman McCann Summer Scholarships and the Seymour Summer Scholarship programs, the Kenneth Binns Lecture and Travelling Scholarship, and the Friends Travelling Scholarship. A substantial contribution from the Minerals Council of Australia made it possible for us to offer the Minerals Council Fellowship for Australian and international researchers of Australia’s mineral industries and their relationship with communities and the environment.
Private donors and sponsors have contributed more than $3 million towards the Treasures Gallery, which will display many of our most prized items. This year, Cunningham Martyn Design completed the final designs of our new Treasures Gallery, new Exhibition Gallery and new entrance to the Main Reading Room. In May 2010, the designs went on public display and a website providing up-to-date information about the building works went live. Building will start in late 2010 and the new facilities will open in late 2011.
I sincerely thank our Chairman, Sir James Gobbo, for the past nine years. His support and enthusiasm for the National Library through a very exciting period of development have been outstanding and greatly appreciated by the Council, senior management and all staff. His legacy will continue well past his time as Chair of the National Library Council.

EXPENSES
Total expenses of $73.855 million were $11.814 million above budget and $3.799 million greater than the 2008–09 expenditures. It should be noted that as part of preparing the 2009–10 budget provision was not made for depreciation of the national collection pending the outcome of a Department of Finance and Deregulation review. Figure 2 shows a comparison of expenditure across items and against budget for 2009–10 and 2008–09. NATIONAL LIBRARYNATIONAL AUSTRALIAOF

The variation between financial years of $3.799 million in operating expenses primarily relates to increased employee expenses ($2.144 million), which is largely the result of pay increases and a small increase in staff numbers (14.6 average staffing level); a small increase in supplier expenses ($0.224 million); and increased depreciation and amortisation expenses ($1.440 million). Of the $1.440 million variance between years for depreciation and amortisation expenses, the majority of the increase is due to revaluation of the collection undertaken in June 2009. an increaseininvestments($3.616million). increase inreceivables($0.556million);areductioncash atbank($3.062million)and ($0.247 million).Theincreaseinfinancialassets($1.048million) relatesprimarilytoan in thevalueofinventories($0.271million)and prepaidsupplierexpenses current yeardepreciationexpenses($0.209million).Inaddition, thereweremovements $6.803 of theLibrary’s landandbuildingsplant equipment(anetincrementof The increaseinnon-financialassets($6.859million)waslargely theresultofrevaluation otal assets, 2009–10 and 2008–09 and assets, 2009–10 otal Figure 3 to $1,710.171millionin2009–10.

As Figure 4 shows, the Library’s total liabilities increased by $0.813 million from last financial year to $16.803 million. ANNUAL REPORT 2009–2010

NATIONAL LIBRARYNATIONAL AUSTRALIAOF Note: A logarithmic scale is used.
The main changes in liabilities relate to a decrease in supplier payables ($0.544 million) and an increase in grants payable ($0.010 million), employee provisions ($1.183 million), and other payables ($0.164 million). The value of leave liabilities has increased as the result of accruing long service leave and reflect increased salary rates due to an annual pay increase.
CASH FLOW
Overall, in 2009–10 there was a reduction in the Library’s cash balance, which declined by $3.062 million to $4.136 million as at 30 June 2010. Figure 5 shows a comparison of cash flow items for 2009–10 and 2008–09.

The Council has 12 members, including the Director-General, one senator elected by the Senate and one member of the House of Representatives elected by the House. ANNUAL REPORT 2009–2010 At 30 June 2010, there were no vacancies on the Council. Appendix A lists Council members and their attendance at Council meetings during 2009–10. In addition to general administrative and financial matters, the Council considered a range of specific issues in 2009–10. Among them were: • the Treasures Gallery Project • Government 2.0 Taskforce • Government response to ‘The efficiency dividend and small agencies: size does matter’ NATIONAL LIBRARYNATIONAL AUSTRALIAOF • budget trend analysis information 2003–10 • new acquisitions • trends and activities in the Library for 2009–10 • the Library’s new integrated discovery service, Trove • dealing with the ‘digital deluge’ – a collaboration with the National Archives of Australia and the National Film and Sound Archive aimed at meeting the challenges of digital collecting, digital preservation and digitisation. The Council has two advisory committees: the Audit Committee and the Corporate Governance Committee. AUDIT COMMITTEE The Audit Committee’s roles are to: • help the Library and members of the Council comply with their obligations under the Commonwealth Authorities and Companies Act 1997 • provide a forum for communication among members of the Council, senior managers of the Library, and the Library’s internal and external auditors • satisfy itself that there is an appropriate ethical climate in the Library and review policies relating to internal controls and management risks. The Audit Committee usually comprises a minimum of three non-executive Council members. During 2009–10 it appointed two former Council members as external members to ensure continuity of Committee operations pending finalisation of Council appointments. The Director-General also attends Audit Committee meetings. Details of Audit Committee membership and meeting attendance can be found at Appendix A.

In particular, it monitors the achievement of objectives and strategies, oversees budget matters, ANNUAL REPORT 2009–2010 develops policy, coordinates Library activities, and oversees a range of operational issues. The group meets weekly. A number of cross-organisational committees advise the group in key areas such as workforce planning, information technology, collection development, events and education, exhibitions and publications. CORPORATE PLANNING FRAMEWORK NATIONAL LIBRARYNATIONAL AUSTRALIAOF The Balanced Scorecard continues to be the Library’s principal planning support system, facilitating integration of strategic, operational and budget planning. Since its adoption in 2000–01, the Balanced Scorecard has proven to be a successful performance management tool that is well accepted by staff and other stakeholders, including the Council. All scorecard achievements, initiatives and targets are reviewed regularly as part of the strategic management setting and monitoring processes. In 2009–10, a new reporting framework was implemented taking into consideration changes to the Library’s Portfolio Budget Statement and new strategic directions. RISK MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK The Library’s Risk Management Framework continues to provide effective tools for management and staff to use when identifying, evaluating and responding to risks that may have an impact on the collection, core business functions or strategic decision- making. The Library’s Risk Management Register, which is subject to annual review, is central to this framework. The register lists all identified risks to the Library as well as risk reduction strategies. These risk reduction strategies are managed through the Business Continuity Framework, which includes established procedures and plans such as the Collection Disaster Plan, the Information Technology Disaster Recovery Plan, the Business Contingency Plan for Critical Building Systems, and the Business Continuity Plan. The Library’s Emergency Planning Committee oversees risk management within the Library. The committee is chaired by the Assistant Director-General, Corporate Services and includes executive staff from all business groups of the Library who provide a clear control structure to measure, respond to, mitigate and discuss risks that may affect the Library. The committee continuously identifies and monitors new and emerging risks. 2009–10 2008–09 • • • 2007–08 Office auditreportsduring2009–10.Thewere: The LibraryimplementedrecommendationsfromanumberofAustralianNationalAudit External auditreports internal auditreports.

No General Policy Orders applying to the Library were made in 2009–10. However, the Library received a Charter of Operations from the Minister and has responded with a statement of how it will fulfil the Charter. General policies of government that apply to the Library under section 28 of the Commonwealth Authorities and Companies Act 1997 are the Foreign Exchange Risk Management Policy, the Australian Government Cost Recovery Guidelines and the National Code of Practice for the Construction Industry. NATIONAL LIBRARYNATIONAL AUSTRALIAOF LEGAL ACTION In 2009–10, action remained outstanding on a claim lodged in the ACT Supreme Court in 2003 on behalf of Wagdy Hanna and Associates Pty Ltd, which is seeking damages from the Library for an alleged breach of contract in respect of a 1996 tender for one of the Library’s offsite storage facilities. The court proceedings were held in December 2008, with Justice Richard Refshauge reserving his decision. The Library is awaiting that decision. COMMONWEALTH OMBUDSMAN No issues relating to the Library were referred to the Commonwealth Ombudsman during 2009–10. FREEDOM OF INFORMATION The Library received no formal requests for access to documents under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 during 2009–10. The Library’s freedom of information statement is at Appendix D. INDEMNITIES AND INSURANCE PREMIUMS Directors and officers of the Library are indemnified by the Comcover insurance scheme. Insurance premiums cover general liability; directors’ and officers’ indemnity; property loss, damage or destruction; business interruption and consequential loss; motor vehicles; personal accidents; and official travel overseas. Under the terms of the insurance schedule of cover, the Library may not disclose its insurance premium price. The Library’s 2009–10 insurance premium maintained an 8.9 per cent discount. This is because of its overall risk management performance, as measured by Comcover’s 2009 Risk Management Benchmarking Survey. The Library made one insurance claim during 2009–10 relating to property loss. • • • • • • • • Act 1960.Inparticular, during2009–10theLibrary: documentary resourcesofnationalsignificanceinaccordancewiththeNationalLibrary implementing thecharter, andprovidesallAustralianswiththeopportunitytoaccess Charter ofPublicServiceinaCulturallyDiverseCommunity.

SERVICE CHARTER The Library’s Service Charter sets out its commitment to users, the standards of service users can expect, and the mechanisms for providing feedback or making a complaint. The charter is available on the Library’s website and as a print publication. During 2009–10, charter standards were met as follows: NATIONAL LIBRARYNATIONAL AUSTRALIAOF • 97.5 per cent of general reference enquiries were answered within standards (target: 90.0 per cent) • 91.3 per cent of collection items were delivered within standards and timeframes (target: 90.0 per cent) • the Library’s website was available 24 hours a day for 99.97 per cent of the time (target: 99.5 per cent). The Library welcomes feedback and suggestions for service improvements. Feedback forms are placed throughout the Library and on its website. This year the Library received 421 formal compliments (see Table 1) and 107 formal complaints (see Table 2) from users. During 2009–10, the Library received several hundred informal compliments from users of the Library’s new Trove and Australian Newspapers services, as well as from participants in its conferences, forums and tours, and contributors to events and publications.

Along with these functions, the Library plays a part in corporate management across other collecting and portfolio agencies through participation in the Corporate Management Forum. Particular challenges during 2009–10 were the need to create a new enterprise agreement and to ensure effective redevelopment of public spaces as part of constructing the Treasures Gallery. PEOPLE MANAGEMENT NATIONAL LIBRARYNATIONAL AUSTRALIAOF The Library has, since 2000, outsourced use of the Aurion Human Resources Management Information System (HRMIS) to administer its employees’ pay and conditions. During 2009–10, the Library purchased the Aurion HRMIS and in-sourced its administration, which has provided increased functionality, enhanced reporting capabilities, and greater efficiency of pay-related service delivery. Workforce planning The Workforce Planning Committee, which meets quarterly, oversees development and implementation of the Library’s Strategic Workforce Plan and workforce planning initiatives. The Library developed the Strategic Workforce Plan 2009–11 in response to changes in workforce demographics as well as its operating environment and strategic directions. Improving recruitment capability was a key focus for 2009–10. To this end, the Library procured an e-recruitment system that was fully implemented by October 2009 and staff have received extensive training in recruitment and selection processes. Staff once again participated in the annual Australian Public Service Commission State of the Service Employee Survey. The Library scored exceptionally well in several areas, including employee perceptions of agency management, effective communication with senior leaders, respect within work groups, employees motivated to do the best work possible, understanding of how individual jobs contribute to team roles, low levels of harassment and bullying, and employees working to their full potential. As well, most employees rated the Library as a good place to work. Industrial democracy The terms and conditions of employment for all its non senior executive service (SES) staff are provided through the National Library of Australia Enterprise Agreement 2010–11, which came into effect on 18 June 2010 and replaced the National Library of Australia Collective Agreement 2007–10. The new agreement complies with the Fair Work Act 2009, National Employment Standards and the Australian Government Bargaining Framework. The main variations instituted by the new agreement are increases to salary and roll-in of performance pay.

ANNUAL REPORT 2009–2010 Ethical standards The National Library Enterprise Agreement 2010–11 endorses the Library’s commitment to, and compliance with, the APS Code of Conduct and Values. The Library’s newly developed online induction, which all staff are required to complete on commencement, includes a module that promotes the APS Code of Conduct and Values. The Performance Management Framework Policy reinforces these standards and the Library conducts assessments every six months for all staff. The Fraud Management Policy continued to be promoted with specific training sessions during 2009–10, including fraud awareness, NATIONAL LIBRARYNATIONAL AUSTRALIAOF corporate induction and skills for new supervisors. The Library continues to be a member of the Ethics Contact Officer Network, which supports the Australian Public Service Commission’s Ethics Advisory Service. While the Library encourages staff to use the service to discuss their concerns about ethical issues, they have also been reminded of internal mechanisms for dealing with work-related ethical issues. Disability strategy The Library is committed to supporting staff and visitors with a disability to achieve an inclusive and positive experience. The Library developed its Disability Action Plan 2010–12 to align with the Commonwealth Disability Strategy, for the categories of provider, employer and purchaser, and in compliance with the Disability Discrimination Act 1992. The Library participated in the Australian Public Service Commission’s State of the Service Agency Survey for Employment of People with Disability; the Library awaits feedback. The Library’s Disability Contact Officer continued supporting people within the workplace with a disability and worked in collaboration with the Australian Government’s JobAccess initiative. The Library implemented work-related adjustments and workplace modifications to enable employees with a disability to perform their duties to their full potential. To enhance awareness of workplace disability issues, the Library offered employees the opportunity to attend briefings on mental health and the employee assistance program, and provided resources from the National Mental Health Strategy and Beyond Blue. Managers were offered the opportunity to participate in training for supporting staff with psychological health issues. The Library implemented a data collection survey, with disability defined using the Australian Bureau of Statistics’ Disability, Ageing and Carers: Summary of Findings 2003 definition. The Library’s HRMIS was upgraded to enhance recordkeeping and reporting.

The plan provides direction for Library facility planning and outlines estimated costs associated with the proposed works. It endeavours to separately group together staff spaces, public areas and stack spaces to improve functional workflows as ANNUAL REPORT 2009–2010 well as to provide greater efficiency for planning. The Library undertook two major capital works projects in 2009–10, namely: • design of the Treasures and Exhibition Gallery was completed in May 2010 – construction is scheduled for completion in mid to late 2011 • upgrade of the fire services commenced in July 2009 – scheduled for completion in mid 2011. The Library completed a number of other capital works projects in 2009–10, including upgrading the entire closed circuit television system throughout the Library, constructing NATIONAL LIBRARYNATIONAL AUSTRALIAOF a new Friends Lounge on Level 4, and relocating the food services contractor’s office and store area to Lower Ground Floor 1. The Library continued working with the National Capital Authority, to ensure the upgrade to the Humanities and Science Campus Redevelopment project, which commenced in September 2008, reflects stakeholder needs. The works around the Library forecourt and fountain were completed in January 2010. Heritage Management Strategy The Library considers heritage issues in line with its endorsed Heritage Management Strategy. This includes consulting recognised heritage specialists as an integral part of any relevant project development. Under the strategy, the Library prepared a Conservation Management Plan exposure draft. This satisfies sections 341S and 341V of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999, and provides the framework and basis for conservation and good management of the Library building, in recognition of its heritage values. The plan outlines the Library’s history and construction of its building, describes the elements that have heritage significance, and assesses that significance using the Commonwealth Heritage List criteria. The plan is being finalised for presentation to the Minister for Environment Protection, Heritage and the Arts. The Library developed and significantly upgraded a policy for managing its Historical Furniture Register; the final update will be completed in late 2010. Security and business continuity The Library’s Emergency Planning Committee, comprising senior staff responsible for corporate communications, staff security, the collection, reader services, the building and other assets, oversees all aspects of the Library’s protective security and business continuity planning. effectively communicatedwithstaffandotherstakeholders. environmental managementpolicyisconsistentwithISO14001requirementsandbeing comply withAustralianandinternationalstandards.TheprojectwillensuretheLibrary’s management systemconsistentwithitsobligationsasaCommonwealthagencyandto The Libraryhasrecentlyengagedaconsultanttohelpfurtherdevelopitsenvironmental • • environmental impactofitsoperationsinclude: Library operationsthroughout2009–10.Initiativesthehasemployedtoreduce Library hascontinuedtoimproveitsenvironmentalperformanceandthesustainabilityof The Libraryiscommittedtoenhancing,protectingandsustainingtheenvironment.

Consistent with a whole-of-government approach to cooperative and coordinated procurement, the Library joined the Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts’ panel of contracted legal services providers. Similarly, the Library ANNUAL REPORT 2009–2010 is participating in the new whole-of-government travel arrangements and has joined another Commonwealth agency’s standing offer for freight and mail room services. Under examination is a possible value-for-money option of participating with the Department’s standing offer agreement for stationery supplies. Project management methodology All divisions continue to support use of the Library’s project management methodology. A number of large projects underway, including the Treasures Gallery refurbishment, are finding the methodology a useful tool in guiding planning, authorisation and NATIONAL LIBRARYNATIONAL AUSTRALIAOF implementation of the various works and tasks. Grants and awards In 2009–10 the Library operated nine grant and award programs, namely: • Community Heritage Grants. The Library awarded 75 grants of up to $15,000 each to help community organisations preserve and manage nationally significant cultural heritage collections. Financial support and assistance for this grants program were received from the Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts, the National Archives of Australia, the National Film and Sound Archive, and the National Museum of Australia. • Friends of the National Library Travelling Fellowship. Funded by the Friends of the National Library of Australia, this fellowship provides a significant professional development opportunity for a Library staff member. The 2010 Fellowship was awarded to Ms Emma Jolley for travel to the United Kingdom to attend a conference on managing digital archival collections. • Harold White Fellowships. The Library funded four fellowships, awarded to established scholars and writers – Dr Bronwen Douglas, Dr Lynne McCarthy, Dr Sheridan Palmer and Dr Priscilla Roberts – to spend between three and four months at the Library researching collection material in their areas of expertise. • Japan Fellowships. Fellowships of three to six months are funded from the Harold S. Williams Trust. One fellowship was awarded in 2009–10 to Dr Donna Weeks. • Japan Study Grants. These grants, funded from the Harold S. Williams Trust, support scholars in Japanese studies who live outside Canberra to undertake research in the Library’s Japanese and Western languages collections for up to four weeks. Grants were awarded to Dr Masako Gavin, Dr Akiko Tomatsuri, Mr Erik Ropers, Ms Amy Newland and Dr Thomas Wilkins. • • • enterprise agreements,andtheimpactofglobalfinancial crisis. storage, assetandriskmanagement,depreciationfunding, theFairWork and Act2009 The forummetthreetimesduringtheyear.

ANNUAL REPORT 2009–2010 A focus in recent years has been to develop software and infrastructure for building and managing the Library’s digital collections. The Library has also developed software to support discovery of collections held in Australian libraries and other collecting institutions. The Library uses information technology to support its website and other web publishing activities. The required information technology and communications infrastructure is provided in-house. INNOVATION NATIONAL LIBRARYNATIONAL AUSTRALIAOF During 2009–10 the Library released Trove, a new free service that supports discovery of Australian collections (see the Director-General’s review and the Report of operations). The Library also undertook a range of information technology development activities aimed at improving its services. Major new information technology-based services the Library implemented included: • Sprightly, a rights management system that enables staff to more efficiently describe and manage the often-complex intellectual property rights and restrictions associated with collection items. • Archivists’ Toolkit, an open source archival data management system that supports staff in acquisition and management of the Library’s manuscript collection, bringing considerable improvements in workflow and efficiency. Preservation of digital content remains a significant problem for collecting institutions around the world. During the last decade, the Library has implemented a number of systems to support acquisition, management and delivery of digital content. These systems are now approaching the end of their life and are increasingly unable to manage and safely store the Library’s digital collections. One of the Library’s greatest challenges is replacement of these systems with a digital repository and preservation system to meet current and future needs. The Library continued actively using and contributing software to the open source community. In 2009–10, the Library added three new software collections to LibraryForge, an open public web-based code repository that hosts its open source software development projects. The Library also expanded its social networking capability in 2009–10 with implementation of blogs, a Facebook page and a Twitter presence.

The number of requests handled by Library web servers has grown by a factor of 78 since 2000 (see Figure 10). The primary drivers of the strong growth in activity in 2009 were the catalogue and the Australian Newspapers service. ANNUAL REPORT 2009–2010 Analysis of web usage statistics has identified the significant role that web search engines, such as Google, play in exposing and promoting use of the Library’s online services and collections to the general community. In 2009–10, 90 per cent of all traffic to the catalogue was through search engines and 66 per cent of visitors to newspapers were directed to the site from search engines.

A second review found a substantial improvement in the accessibility of the Library’s website. As well, the Government 2.0 Taskforce reviewed the accessibility of government websites and selected the Library’s Australian Newspapers website as one of five sites to assess. It was found to be the most ‘generally accessible’ (see These storage and access services must be supported by reliable information technology infrastructure. The average availability during the year of nine key service areas is shown in Table 7. The target availability of 99.5 per cent was met for all services except Libraries Australia, which experienced outages due to a software component licensed by the Library. Despite an upgrade to hardware and efforts to optimise software performance, these problems remain only partially solved.

Australian library materials and a selection of non-Australian publications will be collected, catalogued and preserved by the Library for current and future access. Major initiatives NATIONAL LIBRARYNATIONAL AUSTRALIAOF Implement a new international standard for the bibliographic description of library materials. The Library will assist all Australian libraries to move to the Resource Description and Access standard in 2009–10. For several years the Library has participated in an international collaborative initiative to develop a new international standard for bibliographic description designed for the digital age – Resource Description and Access (RDA). The emphasis in RDA is on helping users to find, identify, select and obtain resources that meet their needs for information. RDA was released in June 2010 and the Library, together with the Australian Committee on Cataloguing, is now developing a strategy to prepare, train and support the Australian library community for national implementation of RDA in 2011. Develop a strategy to strengthen our capacity so that we can significantly expand our collecting of Australian digital content and develop solutions to preserve this material for long-term access. The Library faces a critical resource challenge to bring its digital collection management systems up to the scale and functionality required to ensure the community’s long-term access to digital content. Within this constraint, the Library began implementing the recommendations of its 2009 major review of web archiving activities to increase the capacity for collecting digital content. These included experimental introduction of new tools and approaches to improve workflows for collecting web resources, as well as progressing negotiations, through the Australian Government Information Management Office, to formalise a government-wide agreement to streamline the collecting of Australian government websites. A strategy has been prepared to facilitate the direct deposit of digital materials not available on the web or unable to be harvested from the web. The Library has also contributed to an international effort to document the technical environment on which digital access depends, with the aim of making this information widely available to guide risk assessment and future preservation programs. such assheetmusic. efficient andeasytouseitisbeingusedreplacepaperregistersforothercollections, number generatortoolcreatedbytheLibrary’s InformationTechnology staffhasprovedso efficiencies inprocessingnewmaterialandstackmanagementactivities.Therunning rather thanbyDeweyclassification,whichwillleadtostoragespacesavingsandworkflow 1 January2010.Thenewmonographsequencesareshelvedinrunningnumberorder, and separatesequencesestablishedformonographsreceivedserialspublishedafter The currentstacksequencesforAustralianpublicationwereclosedattheendof2009 for theLibrary’s manuscriptscollections.

Subject to a review of the pilot and wider international experience, the Library aims to expand the program. A number of cataloguing projects that have been underway over several years were ANNUAL REPORT 2009–2010 completed; of note is the Collection de la Révolution Française consisting of 12,000 pamphlets published during the French Revolution. In addition, a project to record all of the Library’s manuscript collections in the online catalogue was finalised. Significant collections treated by Preservation Services staff throughout the year included four rare navigation charts created for the Vereenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie (Dutch East India Company) in the 1730s, several rare atlases and the manuscript collection of Professor Graeme Clark, inventor of the cochlear implant. Preservation treatment and digitisation of the Library’s rare and fragile collection acquired from the London Missionary NATIONAL LIBRARYNATIONAL AUSTRALIAOF Society, which relates to the Taiping Rebellion (1850–64) and Christianity in China, was completed. The collection is available online and has been well received by researchers. In December 2009 Mr Wishnu Hardi was appointed Manager of the Library’s Indonesian Acquisitions Office, located in the Australian Embassy, Jakarta. He replaced Ms Tieke Atikah, the Library’s Australian-based officer, who returned to Canberra in December after two years as Regional Manager. The Library changed to local management of its Indonesian Acquisitions Office as a cost-saving measure. The Library made significant progress with upgrading storage equipment and improving storage of its collections. Between August and December 2009, a new sliding screen storage system was installed to house framed works in the Pictures Collection. The new screen storage provides more suitable accommodation for framed works and will provide additional growth for this collection. In October 2009 work commenced on replacing three large banks of motorised mobile shelving units in one of the storage areas housing a large proportion of the Australian print collection. The new shelving installation was completed in June 2010. In November 2009 the National Archives of Australia removed its records from temporary storage in the Hume Repository and vacated 10 kilometres of shelf space. Between January and April 2010 overseas serials published before 2005 and lower use manuscript collections were transferred to the Hume Repository to create additional space within the main Library building to house new acquisitions. Fifteen kilometres of print material has been relocated within the main Library building to redistribute space throughout the growing print collections. This task will continue into the new financial year.

This measure includes the quality of cataloguing, indexing and check-in, and the timeliness of cataloguing. Targets for quality of indexing and check-in were met or exceeded. The target for cataloguing quality was not met due to an NATIONAL LIBRARYNATIONAL AUSTRALIAOF increased need for training of new cataloguers. The timeliness target was not achieved due to an unexpected increase in the quantity of material received for processing.

The Australian Women’s Weekly Digitisation Project commenced in July 2009 to digitise and make publicly available issues of The Australian Women’s Weekly from 10 June ANNUAL REPORT 2009–2010 1933 to 15 December 1982 (when the magazine changed from a weekly to a monthly publication). Once completed, approximately 210,000 pages – or the first 50 years of The Australian Women’s Weekly – will be able to be freely browsed and searched online. An associated aspect of this project has been to build and improve the Library’s physical collection of The Australian Women’s Weekly. While some issues have been identified as missing, others have been damaged over time due to high usage of the collection. Members of the public responded to a call by the Library to locate missing issues and have donated over 120 issues to assist in building the Library’s collection. NATIONAL LIBRARYNATIONAL AUSTRALIAOF The project is being undertaken in association with Australian Consolidated Press and the State Library of New South Wales. Continue the development of a rights management system to facilitate access for users to in-copyright resources. The Library reached a major milestone with the implementation of the Rights Management System, Sprightly. The central repository of rights information is accessible from the staff view of the catalogue. New rights agreement forms, based on a generic master, are now in use by all collecting areas. The introduction of an automated rights management system has allowed the copyright status of collection items to be displayed in three key services: Libraries Australia, Trove, and the National Library’s catalogue. The rights information allows the public to make choices about how to access and reuse resources. Issues and developments The number of onsite requests for collection material increased by 3 per cent in the Main Reading Room and 8 per cent in the Newspapers and Microforms Reading Room. The Library also experienced significant increases in the number of onsite requests for special collection material for use in specialist reading rooms, including Oral History (+36%) and Maps (+12%). Requests for copies and loans from offsite clients rose significantly with a 13.7 per cent increase in requests supplied through the Library’s Copies Direct and inter-library loans services. These significant increases are largely due to greater visibility of the Library’s catalogue records through Internet search engines and the OCLC WorldCat database. The number of reference enquiries from offsite clients also rose 13 per cent. More than 15,000 collection items were digitised and made available online during the year. They included items planned for display in the Library’s Treasures Gallery, as well as significant pictures, maps, sheet music, posters and ephemera. Free Wi-Fi access in the Library’s internal public spaces was extended to the outside perimeter of the building and access to wireless printing was also introduced in the to theNationalCollectionandotherdocumentaryresourcesin2009–10.

ANNUAL REPORT 2009–2010 • The Virtual Reference Project, which is developing a new service model for reference services. • The Delivery Project, which will plan and implement improvements in delivery of collection items through inter-library loan and document supply services from any of the partner libraries to the users of any of these libraries, including a trial of a home delivery service. • The Collaborative Collections Project, which will identify new models for collaborative development of the collections of the partner libraries, covering both their physical NATIONAL LIBRARYNATIONAL AUSTRALIAOF collections and their e-resource subscriptions. Issues and developments The Director-General’s review has described the introduction of the Library’s new integrated discovery service, Trove. In its first eight months, Trove provided information about 93 million items and attracted 1,291,704 unique visitors. The data harvested by the Library’s new program to aggregate biographical metadata, known as People Australia, was also integrated into Trove. Initial collaborators included the Australian Women’s Register, the Australian Dictionary of Biography Online, the Dictionary of Australian Artists Online and the Encyclopedia of Australian Science.
