Funding and governance of library and information services for visually impaired people: international case studies

Part2:Country studies

Australia

Note on information sources

The questionnaires had a particularly good response in the higher education sector in Australia and there is a much greater level of detail available here on that subject than in most other countries. However, no respondent felt able to give us a national picture, perhaps reflecting the state-based nature of provision We have relied quite heavily on the answers provided by Vision Australia; bodies who provide similar services in other parts of Australia were contacted but did not respond. Some information gaps have been filled by desk research.
