Statistics were originally published in 1953 in the "News Sheet of the University and College Libraries Section, Library Association of Australia. Data were recorded in "The Red Book".
Current data is available both on the interactive online site, since 2004, and in spreadsheet form, available below. The data "for publication" excludes a range of data provided by some institutions only; this data is not considered to be benchmarkable, and hence is included as optional.
