Introduction
The Australian and New Zealand academic library statistics are collected and published annually for GAUL (Council of Australian University Librarians). GAUL has engaged CAVAL Collaborative Solutions to collect and compile the statistics.
Reporting Structure
The 2004 statistics include 48 entries, which cover 39 Australian and 8 New Zealand academic library systems and 1 co-operative store.
As GAUL requested that data be supplied for each institution as a whole no breakdown by branch or campus library is available.
Data Collection
The data for the 2004 GAUL Statistics was collected using the Input Module of the CAUL Statistics Online website. This site, at http://statistics.caul.edu.au, was developed for CAUL by CAVAL. Each participating library was supplied with a logon to the Input Module and entered its data directly into the statistical database. A range of data validation checks were incorporated, and the general instructions and detailed data definitions were made available for download and printing. The verified data was then extracted from the database to create the tables to be printed for this publication.
