My Department puts a strong emphasis on evidence-based policy. Therefore, it is important that my officials keep up to date with international best practice by reading relevant research. Considerable effort has been made by the Librarian employed by my Department to move many of these subscriptions online. The following tables provide details of my Department’s expenditure on the purchase of newspapers, online subscriptions, magazines and other journal and digital subscriptions for the years in question:
