State Library

In reply to Mr DULUK (Davenport) (24 July 2015). (Estimates Committee A)

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries):

The decrease reflects usage across all State Library web presences, not just the main website.

The change in the estimated result is due to a change in the website visit measurement system, which was discontinued part way through the year. The remainder of the year was measured using Google Analytics. This change has skewed the figures slightly.

The main State Library website needs to be redeveloped because it is built on technology that is over 12 years old and does not support many aspects of the modern library customers' needs, including access from mobile devices. The redevelopment of the Library's main website will make it a modern site that is more customer-focused.
