Lumen | the University of Adelaide THE UNIVERSITY OF ADELAIDE MAGAZINE INSIDE: Bio-city Habitat centre a world first Successful Scholars Adelaide’s achievers Interview: James Crawford The challenge of international law Family Connections University links across the generations Dolphin Tech tracking our Port River beauties GLOBAL RELATIONSHIPS - INTERNATIONAL EVENTS LUMEN - The University of Adelaide Magazine Registered by Australia Post No 56500/00097 MESSAGE FROM THE VICE-CHANCELLOR ater in the year, the University of Adelaide will take over the National Wine Centre in the heart of Adelaide, under an Lagreement with the Government of South Australia. This wonderful building will be the focus for a renewed effort of reaching out to the community and to industry. It will also offer us the opportunity to grow our teaching in areas related to wine where we already have 700 students studying. It will help the State and the University of Adelaide to strengthen our international profile and national dominance in wine education, as well as bringing significant opportunities for enhanced partnership with the Australian wine industry. Working with others is vital for the University. Our ongoing strength and ability to serve the community depend on a network of mutually beneficial partnerships. This issue of Lumen looks at several fine examples of partnerships at local, national and international levels—among them the Flinders-Baudin Research Centre on Kangaroo Island, the world-first Centre for Urban Habitats, and the new Institute of International Business, Economics and Law. On a global scale, I am reminded of the unique partnerships this university has with some of its Asian neighbours. The benefits gained from providing more than 50 years of education to Malaysian and Singaporean students, for example, are much more than economic. They are cultural and social and they improve our society just as the education and experience those students gained in Australia has helped to improve theirs. A clear case in point is the distinguished Malaysian paediatrician Dr Sam Abraham, who is profiled in this issue. In all that we do, we naturally look for means by which the University of Adelaide can benefit. However, universities everywhere must also contribute to the wider society in which they exist, and to the wider world. This issue of Lumen shows the many ways in which the University of Adelaide is doing its part to build effective partnerships for a better world and to produce graduates who will be committed citizens of that world.

  • Writing a Literature Review Writing Centre Learning Guide
    Writing a Literature Review Writing Centre Learning Guide At some point in your university study, you may be asked to review the literature on a certain subject or in a particular area. Such a review involves comparing different writers’ ideas or perspectives on a topic and evaluating these ideas, all in relation to your own work. A literature review differs from an article review in that it involves writing about several writers’ ideas, rather than evaluating a single article. It is also different to an annotated bibliography, which is usually a series of short reflections on individual pieces of writing. Introduction The literature review enables you and your reader to get an overview of a certain subject, so that it is clear who the main writers are in the field, and which main points need to be addressed. It should be an evaluative piece of writing, rather than just a description. This means that you need to weigh up arguments and critique ideas, rather than just providing a list of what different writers have said. It is up to you to decide what the reader needs to know on the topic, but you should only include the main pieces of writing in this area; a literature review does not need to include everything ever written on the topic. The most important thing is to show how the literature relates to your own work. You may be writing a literature review as part of a thesis, or as an exercise in itself. Whatever the reason, there are many benefits to writing a literature review.
