Reasons for Change in Appropriation

This appropriation increased by $3.363 million to $74.837 million for 2011/12.

The increase in the Access to Information output expense relates to:

  • an expense transfer from 2010/11 to 2011/12 due to a change in timing for Building a National Library for the 21st Century (increase of $2.629 million), development of the Aotearoa People's Network Kaharoa (increase of $697,000) and Digitisation of the Appendices to the Journals of the House of Representatives (increase of $73,000)
  • an increase in funding for an ongoing programme of initiatives to enable the Department to position for efficiency savings from 1 July 2012 ($99,000)
  • an increase in demand for interloans ($160,000).

The increases are partially offset by the following decreases:

  • a realignment of third party revenue and expenditure (decrease of $41,000)
  • expense transfers from 2011/12 to 2012/13 due to a change in timing for the Kotui implementation (decrease of $100,000), development of the Aotearoa People's Network Kaharoa (decrease of $429,000) and due to delays in the New Generation Implementation Programme (decrease of $290,000)
  • a reallocation of shared services costs (decrease of $849,000)
  • a transfer of funding to Public Lending Right for New Zealand Authors (decrease of $10,000).

The decrease in the Collecting and Preserving Information output expense relates to:

  • a reallocation of shared services costs (decrease of $978,000)
  • an expense transfer from 2011/12 to 2012/13 due to delays in the New Generation Implementation Programme (decrease of $191,000).

The decreases are largely offset by the following increases:

  • an expense transfer from 2010/11 to 2011/12 for Building a National Library for the 21st Century (increase of $733,000)
  • a realignment of third party revenue and expenditure (increase of $229,000)
  • an increase in funding for an ongoing programme of initiatives to enable the Department to position for efficiency savings from 1 July 2012 ($78,000).

  • a reallocation of shared services costs (increase of $1.879 million)
  • an expense transfer from 2010/11 to 2011/12 for Building a National Library for the 21st Century (increase of $151,000) and Public Programme World Cup (increase of $50,000)
  • an increase in funding for an ongoing programme of initiatives to enable the Department to position for efficiency savings from 1 July 2012 (increase of $45,000).

The increases are partially offset by the following decreases:

  • a realignment of third party revenue and expenditure (decrease of $193,000)
  • a transfer of funding from 2011/12 to 2012/13 due to Curriculum Services efficiency savings (decrease of $100,000)
  • an expense transfer from 2011/12 to 2012/13 due to delays in the New Generation Implementation Programme (decrease of $135,000).

The decrease in the Policy Advice and Statutory Servicing output expense relates to:

  • a reallocation of shared services costs (decrease of $188,000).

The decrease is partially offset by the following increases:

  • an expense transfer from 2010/11 to 2011/12 for Building a National Library for the 21st Century (increase of $37,000)
  • a realignment of third party revenue and expenditure (increase of $5,000)

The National Library of New Zealand, in conjunction with the Association of Public Library managers, is developing a subscription based library system service for public libraries in New Zealand, that will be known Kotui.

The service will be a modern library resource discovery interface that public library customers will use to discover any/all of their library's resources through a single search. This service will integrate with the library management system.
