The Australian Vice-Chancellors' Committee Standing Committee on Information Resources established the Database Access Working Group primarily to advise on the expenditure of $5m awarded to Australian university libraries for infrastructure developments by the Federal Government's National Priority (Reserve) Fund in 1994-7. $2m was directed towards database services. At the completion of the program, CAUL elected to continue with the program to monitor, review and evaluate electronic database services, and reconstituted the committee with new Terms of Reference and revised membership qualifications.
