Thank you to the 31 respondents. Eve reminded me that Bond does not yet, regrettably , receive any funds from DEETYA.( although she probably receives squillions from other sources ! ). Lois reported that she does not separate the Library budget from the rest of the budget for the Information Services Division at the University of Canberra. The remaining 29 responses are listed below. Please note however that most respondents had difficulty providing a completely accurate percentage figure and some include allocations other than the DEETYA operating grant. The percentages are approximate.
University Approximate % Remarks LaTrobe 8.6 Melbourne Metropolitan Campus only. A percentage index is not a good guide. A better comparative method is the " cost per student" in the library i.e. budget allocation divided by EFTSU or WEFTSU (where postgraduates are given the additional weighting). Western Australia 8.6 Includes research quantum and research infrastructure. Macquarie 8.2 Western 8.0 Sydney-Hawkesbury Southern Cross 7.5 New South Wales 7.5 Includes international student income and research quantum. Australian 7.2 Catholic Univ Murdoch 7.1 Northern Territory 7.1 Complicated by being an integrated HE/VET institution & having an integrated Information Services Div.
