    Australian and New Zealand Theological Library Association No. 20 (2018) ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….. his issue of the ANZTLA EJournal features some very interesting papers, as well as the always useful TANZTLA Statistics, and a report of the South Australian Chapter of ANZTLA detailing another busy year. Miranda Fyfield describes a fascinating course in rare book cataloguing whilst Kerrie Stevens provides some evidence that library use can result in better grades for students. Have you undertaken some training or attended a course that might be of interest to your ANZTLA colleagues? Why not write a summary of it and share your knowledge by submitting it to the ANZTLA EJournal... Kerrie Stevens, Eve James, Huw Sandaver ________________ ANZTLA EJournal Editorial Team Photo by Annie Spratt on Unsplash Contents 2 More Loans = Better Grades Kerrie Stevens 9 Rare Book Cataloguing Miranda Fyfield 17 ANZTLA Statistics 2017 62 SA Chapter Report 2017 More Loans = Better Grades: An Analysis Correlating Library Usage and Unit Grades Kerrie Stevens Abstract In response to the question, “Does the number of books checked out by a student correlate with higher grades?” this analysis looks at student grades for both HE (Higher Education) and VET (Vocational Education & Training) units and the number of average library loans borrowed whilst achieving those grades. It was found that, on average and in general, more loans results in better grades. Note: Data for student grades and library borrowing was taken from 2013, but it is believed that the principles demonstrated by the apparent correlation between loans and grades achieved would be comparable across any year. The 2013 data did not include ebook access so this could be another level of comparison for future research into this area.

  • Statement of Tuition Assurance
    1 STATEMENT OF TUITION ASSURANCE Under the provisions of the Higher Education Support Act 2003 (HESA) and the associated HEP Guidelines the Australian College of Theology (the First Provider) is required to provide a tuition assurance arrangement for Australian citizens or holders of an Australian permanent humanitarian visa who are enrolled in higher education courses it offers. This requirement is to protect a student in the event that the Australian College of Theology ceases to provide a course of study in which a student is enrolled. The meaning of ‘ceasing to provide a course of study’ is set out in the HEP Guidelines (http://www.backingaustraliasfuture.gov.au/guidelines/hep_guide.htm). In the event that the Australian College of Theology ceases to provide a course of study in which a student is enrolled the student is entitled to a choice of: a) an offer of a place in a similar course of study with a Second Provider without any requirement to pay the Second Provider any student contribution or tuition fee for any replacement units. If the Australian College of Theology is unable to provide a course of study, the student will be contacted by the most appropriate or convenient of the second providers, which will make all of the arrangements necessary (this is known as the “Course Assurance Option”); OR b) a refund of his or her up-front payments for any unit of study that the student commences but does not complete because the Australian College of Theology ceases to provide the course of study of which the unit forms part (this is known as the “Student Contribution/Tuition Fee Repayment Option”).

  • Theology Missional
    2019 Auckland New Zealand MiSsional Theology 2019 Auckland New Zealand Welcome from the President On behalf of the Council of ANZATS, it is my delight to welcome you to the 2019 ANZATS Conference. Let me begin by expressing – for all of us, I’m sure – our heartfelt thanks to the Conference Chair, Dr Myk Habets, and the rest of the local organising committee, for their tremendous work in convening this event. It goes without saying that we would not be here without their efforts. The Revd Professor As we gather over these next three days, Mark Lindsay President, ANZATS to share in conversation around our theme of ‘Missional Theology’, we will engage with one of the central challenges with which the Church of the 21st Century is faced. What ought mission look like in the future, now that the Church’s demographic resources, and her moral credibility, have been so fundamentally weakened? With the illusory comfort of ‘Christendom’, as well as the Church’s claim that she embodies a ‘better way’, now both firmly in the past, how does – how can – mission actually happen? These are perhaps the key existential questions for the Church’s missional vision. But there are other matters, too, that emerge from the day- to-day realities of ‘doing mission’, to which the Church is increasingly having to attend. 2 How does mission relate to old and new forms of worship? What does mission look like in the massive urban growth corridors of our major cities? Can mission be political? Can mission and non-conversionist interfaith dialogue co-exist? How do we respond to the reality that, for the first time in perhaps 1700 years, ‘the West’ is once again being evangelized by missionaries from Africa? As we explore these and other questions, it is a particular pleasure to welcome our keynote speakers – Professor Kirsteen Kim, and Dr George Wieland.

Theological Education in Australia: The Past and Present as Possible Indicators of Future Trends1 Presidential Address ANZATS Adelaide 2017 Robert K. McIver Avondale College of Higher Education Throughout its history, theological education in Australia has proved itself to be a miracle of survival in the face of the seemingly insurmountable challenge of a paucity of resources. It has largely taken place outside of the government funded universities.2 As a consequence, theological education has largely been located in a diversity of institutions—typically small and under-resourced, and most with some (often close) connection to a denominational entity or church organisation. This is in marked contrast with universities in Europe and North America, where theological education is deeply embedded into the university system, often forming one of the key faculties in the foundation of a university.
