asked the Minister for Tertiary Education, Skills, Jobs and Workplace Relations, upon notice, on 10 February 2011:

Can a list be provided detailing the electronic or digital publications to which the department and its agencies subscribe (listed separately) or pay a fee to access or receive, including the: (a) cost; (b) title; and (c) publisher.

The answer to the honourable senator's question is as follows:

The department and agencies subscribe to numerous electronic and digital publications. Those electronic and digital publications sourced centrally are listed in the Attachment (available from the Senate Table Office).

Individual areas of the department may subscribe to other electronic and digital publications. These are not centrally recorded.

Individual staff members in the department and agencies are able to subscribe directly to external organisations to obtain free electronic and digital publications as they choose. Records of these types of subscriptions are not recorded.
