Summary subject collecting information (definitions of the ALG collecting levels are available for reference):
Comments: Monograph collection covers the full range of developments and theories, with some additional strength in the history of a number of outstanding higher educational institutions, mainly in Great Britain and the United States of America. A full set of documents of the Educational Resources Information Center (ERIC) is maintained. Comments: Non-Australian textbooks, curriculum materials, teacher education resources and related materials are not acquired. Comments: Current collecting focuses on aspects relating to policy development and the planning of educational systems. The publications of education-related intergovernmental organisations such as UNESCO and government publications from Canada, the United States of America, the United Kingdom, New Zealand and countries of Asia and the Pacific provide an additional resource.
Highlights of the collection: The National Library of Australia holds a comprehensive collection of material relating to Australia and the Australian people.
The Library's collections of Australiana have developed into the nation's single most important resource of materials recording Australian cultural heritage. The Library collects Australian materials of all kinds - not just works in print form - books, serials, maps, music and ephemera - but also online publications and unpublished material such as manuscripts, pictures and oral histories.
The Library also has considerable collections of general overseas and rare book materials, as well as world-class Asian and Pacific collections which augment the Australiana collections.
