76th International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) General Conference
Sunday, 15 August 2010

Australian Copyright Council - Address to National Press Club, Canberra 2009
Tuesday, 4 August 2009

Queensland Museum Public Lecture 2008 - How to value arts and culture
Wednesday, 2 April 2008
Most practitioners agree that the value of culture cannot be adequately expressed in terms of statistics. Audience numbers and gallery visitor profiles give a very impoverished picture of how culture enriches our communities. What is needed is a new way of reflecting, recognising and capturing the full range of values expressed through arts and culture and then using a new rhetoric to secure greater support for the sector. Recent overseas models have shown that specific valuation studies have been able to raise the profile of the cultural institutions and their services with key decision-makers by demonstrating the value of the sector to the state and national economy.
