The National Library of Australia has launched a major review of services, with key programs to be curtailed or cancelled amid staff cuts, as management struggles to deal with the Turnbull government's efficiency dividend.

The library expects to shed more than 20 jobs by June 30 with additional redundancies to follow in 2017-18. The library will also reduce the number of international print and online subscriptions available to members.

NSW State Records - Digitisation Survey

http://archivesoutside.records.nsw.gov.au/digitisation-decisions-state-records-needs-you/

Here at State Records NSW we are looking at developing a digitisation strategy to cover the next 10 years and we'd love your feedback.

The aim is to select material to digitise and make it available through our website (much like Sentenced beyond the Seas or the new Centenary of Anzac website).

One of the core selection criteria for this process is Access and this is where we need your help.
We need you to tell us what you want!

The poll will remain open until 1 October 2014.

Thank you,

State Records NSW
