CAUL Electronic Information
Resources Committee (CEIRC)
Updated 23 March, 2008
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.
