The most important of these being departmental heads who ask for teaching and research material be provided by the library. While librarians do have control over library contents to meet and balance demands, it is the Departments that dictate the actual content. Therefore input on the contents of digital libraries by Departments needs to be addressed. Often libraries in balancing demands will make arrangements for sharing subscriptions, to trial new products or for bulk purchasing of resource materials. Other outside groups influencing the library includes government and technical services.
Governments are primary holders of important information sources, ie.
ABS, Primary Industries, etc. Providing distributed access to these and other services is a vital job of technical staff associated with the library. A stakeholder impact diagram, shown in Figure 2, identified those groups with the greatest impact upon the success of a digital library. In developing the diagram several specific actions were recognised as requiring attention during the course of the project. Some are summarised in Figure 2, and a more exhaustive list given in Table 1.
