Books have a role in libraries and in society that must be valued and protected. The issues and challenges of collection development and management are considered by Cindy Bissett. She presents a case study exploring how the Tasmanian Polytechnic Launceston campus library developed a fiction collection in languages other than English with no budget. Using donation and grant funds the library was able to address the social, literacy, learning and cultural needs of the diverse student base it serves. Valerie Perrett outlines a recent study by the University of Canberra library to explore student satisfaction with access to high demand material.

The first thing you notice is the reduced emphasis on book shelves in favour of empty but architecturally pleasing ‘public spaces’, comfortable cushions, computer terminals, sometimes even new cafes and display areas. Indeed, the current boast of many libraries is that they are ‘more than just books’, as if there is something embarrassingly old- fashioned and irrelevant about supplying a book-lending service (Browne, 2009). The next thing that the book-inclined individual finds This article is more of an opinion piece than a strictly is that the colloquialism ‘shhh…’ is seldom heard in a academic research paper.

It includes stories of individuals, families and communities living near one another and links between adjoining suburbs, regions and countries. How important were class, the economy, gender, governments, the media, race, religion and sport in the formation of ideas regarding neighbours? How have attitudes regarding a nation’s geographic neighbours determined defence, foreign, immigration, refugee and trade policies? Did new types of communication and transport from the nineteenth century onwards radically alter how neighbours and neighbourhoods were perceived? As the success of the Australian television program Neighbours shows, the theme has long been a significant component of popular culture.

  • Name Recommendations Pack City and South East Light Rail (CSELR)

    Document owner TfNSW Wayfinding Program Name recommendations pack City and South East Light Rail (CSELR) Version 1.7 Draft for discussion 13.03.2017 TfNSW Customer Services Division Wayfinding Program Introduction Background and introduction Background The NSW public transport system is made up of a network of train stations, bus stops, ferry wharves and light rail stops. Consistent use of an agreed name for every location is fundamental to both the customer service offering and operation of the public transport system. Within TfNSW, the Customer Services Division is responsible for determining names for all public transport locations, including: - interchanges - train stations - bus stops - ferry wharves - light rail stops - metro stations TfNSW’s rules for naming stops are described in the Naming Guideline and Customer Information Business Rules documents, available through Customer Services Division. Why names matter For customers, the name of a station, stop or wharf is the key to navigation. It is the first step in planning a trip, or in understanding how they can use public transport to complete a journey. Names help them to understand where they are when travelling on the public transport system, and to successfully plan trips and connections. Names must always be consistent, whether a customer sees them in the built environment, on- board, in printed materials or online. This document This document is an early draft for key stakeholder review. Your feedback is welcome. Please contact your usual TfNSW point of contact with any comments or questions. Next steps Following key stakeholder review, TfNSW will seek endorsement of these recommendations through the Geographical Names Board (GNB) process.
