  • A Bibliography for Australian Universities
    A Bibliography for Australian Universities Compiled by Naomi Cat den THE AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL UNIVERSITY CANBERRA This book was published by ANU Press between 1965–1991. This republication is part of the digitisation project being carried out by Scholarly Information Services/Library and ANU Press. This project aims to make past scholarly works published by The Australian National University available to a global audience under its open-access policy. A Bibliography for Australian Universities compiled by NAOMI CAIDEN Department of Sociology The Australian National University ’yZ/rr" -— ■ THE AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL UNIVERSITY CANBERRA First printed in Vestes, September 1964-March 1965 Re-issued by The Australian National University in this format, December 1965 1963 i A BIBLIOGRAPHY FOR AUSTRALIAN UNIVERSITIES Compiled by N aomi Gaiden FOREWORD This bibliography is an attempt to provide an index to books, articles and other publications about Australian universities. It is not a selective bibliography, but is rather an effort to compile as compre­ hensive a list of references as possible, as a kind of check-list to what is available to the general reader or research worker. It has been divided into two parts, the first of which contains material directly relating to the internal affairs of the universities, whilst the items in the second concern more peripheral topics. The divisions between the two parts and the sections within them are by no means hard and fast and the inevitable overlapping has been resolved by cross-refer­ ences. For example, “University courses—education” in Part I over­ laps with “Teacher education” in Part II. A further problem concerns selection of the material.
