- In the twenty first century the expectations of librarians and users have radically changed. The development of the Internet, in particular the World Wide Web, has resulted in a radical change in access to information and services. Australians have been rapid adopters of communications technologies, in particular the Internet. The December 18 2008 release of the ABS publication Household Use of Information Technology , Australia, 2007-08 (http://www.abs.gov.au/ausstats/abs@.nsf/Latestproducts/8146.0Main%20Features12007-08?opendocument&tabname=Summary&prodno=8146.0&issue=2007-08&num=&view=) found: As of June 30 2008 the total Broadband connections were at 4.3 million (52% of all households), an increase of 22% on last years total. The Australian Capital Territory has the highest proportion of Broadband connections, at 68% of households while Tasmania (39%) and South Australia (42%) were the lowest. Other states ranged from 51 to 55%. 67% of Australian households had home Internet access and 75% of households had access to a computer. This is more than a five-fold increase in the number of household Internet connections over the last ten years. Socio-economic characteristics of households continue to influence the rate of computer, Internet and Broadband connections across Australia. For example, in relation to Broadband access: Metropolitan areas had considerably higher proportion of Broadband connections (57%) than other areas (43%). Households with children under 15 had higher Broadband access (67%) compared to households without (46%). Those households with an income of $120,000 had substantially higher rates of access (81%) than households incomes of less than $40,000 (38%). Getting to places remains a key challenge – (also see http://www.abs.gov.au/AUSSTATS/abs@.nsf/Lookup/4102.0Chapter10002008)
- Library use is also a major part of the lives of Australians. For NSLA libraries: In 2007-2008: 7.7 million people visited our libraries; 132 million people visited our websites; 392 terabytes of digital collections were stored; $26.7 million was spent purchasing resources for collections; $3.9 billion was the total asset value of our collections; and $972 million was the total asset value of our buildings/sites. The most recent statistics from the Australian Bureau of Statistics record 108 million visits to local government, national and state libraries in 2005-06, local government libraries account for over 95% of visits. More public library branches than McDonalds.

However the librarian trying to answer my question was in the NT!” “ Felt I was given the easiest response, i.e. ‘can’t really help’, without other options being explored. Maybe there were no other options ” Suggestions … “ It would really help if you extended your closing time for the evening because most people stay up late doing their assignments” “ It would be a good idea to make it so you can visit different pages all at once, like the Windows Vista Internet browser”

Government services example: Increasing demand. Most librarians report increasing client use of individual Government websites, for both content information and process or transaction based purposes. An invisible draw on resources. While libraries were aware of some high-demand government online services, librarians rarely had an overview of all government services accessed by their clients. As a result, government online services created a largely invisible demand on public library resources. Unintended impacts. Government agencies put services online in order to provide better access to their users to and streamline their own operations. Most agencies do not understand that their actions place extra burdens on public libraries.” (State Library of New South Wales 2004, p. 1)

- HALF of all Australians lack the minimum reading, writing and problem-solving skills to cope with life in the modern world. A new survey on life skills by the Australian Bureau of Statistics reveals 46 per cent of the population, or seven million people, would struggle to understand the meaning of newspaper and magazine articles or documentation such as maps and payslips. And 53 per cent reached just the second of five levels in a practical numeracy test, while 70 per cent, the equivalent of 10.6 million people, only managed to progress to level 2 in a series of problem-solving exercises. "Level 3 is regarded by the survey developers as the minimum required for individuals to meet the complex demands of everyday life and work in the emerging knowledge-based economy,“ said the ABS report, Adult Literacy and Life Skills. http://www.ausstats.abs.gov.au/ausstats/subscriber.nsf/0/B22A471C221C7BADCA2573CA00207F10/$File/42280_2006%20(reissue).pdf
