Examination of Estimates of Expenditure 2015-16 Reply Serial No.

CONTROLLING OFFICER’S REPLY

(Question Serial No. S0042)

Head: (95) Leisure and Cultural Services Department

Subhead (No. & title): (-) Not Specified

Programme: (5) Public Libraries

Controlling Officer: Director of Leisure and Cultural Services (Ms Michelle LI)

Director of Bureau: Secretary for Home Affairs

Question:

In Reply Serial No. HAB234, the Government only provided information on the top ten

titles acquired in 2014-15 for lending with breakdown by adult and junior type and by

language. Information on further breakdown by classification, as well as expenditure

incurred on each title was not readily available due to system limitation. As a follow-up,

can the Government provide the information later?

Asked by: Hon MA Fung-kwok

Reply:

The computer system of the Hong Kong Public Libraries (HKPL) is designed to generate

only the raw data of the library materials purchased for the designated financial year.

Taking into account the design and capacity of the system, the Leisure and Cultural Services

Department have compiled the list of the top ten Chinese and English titles acquired in

2014-15 for the adult and junior library collection of HKPL as set out in Reply Serial

No. HAB234. Based on HKPL’s experiences in compiling information in Reply Serial

Nos. HAB217 and S-HAB20 in the context of the examination of Estimates of Expenditure

2014-15, further breakdown of the most acquired top ten titles by classification for Chinese

and English adult and children books would entail a very labour-intensive manual

compilation of information involving additional manpower of at least 56 man-days for the

checking from related files, sorting, verification and compilation of the data. In view of

the system constraint and the fact that the required information is not readily available,

HKPL can only provide the most acquired top five items of books by classification for adult

and children books in 2014-15 in the second quarter of 2015-16Note

. However, the

corresponding loan figures of these books in a particular year are not available in HKPL’s

computer system which is designed to capture cumulative loan statistics since the purchase

of the books.

(

Note The most acquired top five items of books by classification for adult and children books in 2014-15 are

provided on 11 September 2015. Please refer to Annex for details.)
