This enhances cooperation between institutions. As there is sector-wide involvement, commitment to the projects tends to be high and there is a natural momentum for the communication of outcomes. The allocation of funding over more than twelve months enables a strategic approach and permits a planned, staged implementation of activities. CAUL believes that this methodology is particularly suitable for library and information projects. CAUL recommends that allocations of funding by the Quality and Innovations Panel or the Teaching Enhancement Panel for library and information services be on the basis of demonstrable system-wide support and benefit.
CAUL also recommends provision for funding of projects over multiple years.
