How are these statistics compiled?

Average price information is collated from the cost of items evaluated by CMIS in the previous twelve months. These prices should be used as a guide only as they depend on the type and number of resources evaluated which may vary from year to year.

Primary
These amounts are based on the average prices of resources listed in Primary Focus Fiction and Nonfiction publications which are published in January each year. Non-book resources include videos, audiocassettes, charts, games and realia. Computer software has been treated separately.

Secondary

The secondary fiction amounts are based on the average prices of items listed in the three issues of Fiction Focus produced in the previous year.

The secondary nonfiction amounts are based on the average prices of secondary resources evaluated for Resource Focus publications and any other secondary resources reviewed in the previous year.

It is recognised that this does not represent a spread across all Learning Areas, but it does provide a guide and a comparison to previous years. Computer software is not included.
