Organisational context The Library's role is to ensure that documentary resources of national significance relating to Australia and the Australian people, as well as significant non-Australian library materials, are collected, preserved and made accessible either through the Library itself or through collaborative arrangements with other libraries and information providers. By offering a strong national focus in all that the Library does, and cooperating with others, the Library supports learning, creative and intellectual endeavour, and contributes to the continuing vitality of Australia’s diverse culture and heritage. Increasingly, library materials are being acquired and demanded in digital form. To continue providing the Australian people with the service and access come to be expected, the Library needed to increase its capacity to collect digital content. The tools developed during the DLIR program are more robust for importing, managing and preserving such content, and also increased its capacity to digitise its paper and other analogue collections, and to deliver digital content online, while supporting scalable and reliable storage capacity measured in multiple petabytes.
