3 Survey results CEOs: There are no gaps in what the service offers The service is now smoothly integrated into the workflows of many Australian libraries The service is only for librarians The service does not need to provide access to digital content

4 Survey results Cataloguing “a nation of libraries.. You catalogue a book once, not many times, and that has to have a significant productivity effect.” InterLibrary Loan “For InterLibrary Loans, it is definitely worth the payment… our library has gotten smaller in the last 10 years and we got rid of a lot of material but we know it is available elsewhere if needed and we now rely on that service to supplement our collection.” Searching “Please consider providing advanced search options to users of the free search. This would make Libraries Australia a fantastic service.”
