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

Part2:Country studies

Australia

Overlaps - are they a problem?

None of the respondents believe that there are problematic overlaps in responsibilities. Materials are shared via inter-library loan. The major issue raised is the fact that several states are outside the Vision Australia organisation, but there are arrangements to renew agreements with those organisations and VA hopes to improve service to people living in those areas.
