Beyond a quality service: strengthening the social fabric. Standards and guidelines for Australian public libraries 1st ed.

This document is an evidence-based guide for the development of public library services in Australia. It uses the National and State Libraries Australasia (NSLA) annual collation of state and territory statistics as its evidence base, and builds on the earlier work on standards and guidelines carried out by the State Libraries of New South Wales and Queensland.

Standards are quality levels – goals for attainment – and they are presented at baseline and enhanced service delivery levels. Guidelines document best practice and are intended as operational suggestions for improving library performance.

This document was superceded by "Beyond a quality service: strengthening the social fabric. Standards and guidelines for Australian public libraries 2nd ed (2012)".

The responses to the 2011 survey suggested that, while library managers were doing their best to meet this demand within the limits of their resources, these resources were becoming over-stretched and there were concerns about their ability to maintain service levels in the future
