ANZTLA 2020 Statistics by Kerrie Stevens ANZTLA Statistician ANZTLA 2020 Statistics By Kerrie Stevens ANZTLA Statistician ANZTLA Statistics are compiled annually from data provided by ANZTLA member libraries on a voluntary basis. All ANZTLA Libraries are encouraged to contribute their data. The reporting categories are described as follows: • A - Provides clergy training programmes (ie: The Australian and New Zealand Association of Theological Schools [ANZATS] member schools) and/or school and training institutions which offer broad theological training (ie: Bible Colleges, Missionary Training Institutions) possibly leading to degree of post-graduate qualifications; • B - Do not have students (ie: church administrative libraries, resource centres, para-church organisations, etc.); and • C - Institutions offering non-theological courses in addition (ie: teacher training). Data has been entered as submitted by the libraries. Any questions should be directed to the libraries concerned. Of the 71 institutional members (as at 30-4-2021), 43 responses were received, equating to a 60.5% response rate. Note: Data from Table 4 Loan Periods has not been included in this compilation of statistics due to the likelihood that loan periods generally do not change very often. Going forward, these tables will be included in the published annual statistics every second year.

    The Wisdom of the Wise in a Postmodern World Popularly viewed as the “self-help” or “philosophy” section of the Old Testament, wisdom literature has often been marginalized by Old Testament scholars. However, the issues addressed in the wisdom books are highly relevant today. From justice, faith, and wealth to suffering, meaning, and sexuality, Old Testament wisdom deals with the very issues currently filling headlines. Interpreting Old Testament Wisdom Literature brings wisdom literature into these modern-day discussions, appreciating the recent scholarly acceptance of wisdom literature as reflecting Interpreting Old Testament part of the Israelite worldview. This collection of essays offers up-to-date assessments from Wisdom Literature respected scholars focusing on both the wisdom books and wisdom ideas. Available March 2017 $30, xvi + 232 pages, Craig Bartholomew opens the book with a comprehensive survey of recent developments in the field of Old Testament wisdom. Part two follows up with discussions of issues arising paperback from the main wisdom books—Proverbs, Job, and Ecclesiastes—and examines the Song of 978-0-8308-5178-2 Songs as a wisdom text. Part three includes essays on wisdom themes in Ruth, wisdom within the broader Old Testament, the concept of retribution in wisdom, and the issue of divine absence. “Drawing together esteemed senior scholars as well as “A clearer understanding of the nature of Old Testament wisdom literature has led to insightful younger voices in something of a revival in academic interest of late,” write the book’s editors, David G. Firth the field, this anthology and Lindsay Wilson. “Indeed, its interest in everyday life is seen to have great potential in provides a rich and expansive speaking to new generations of people within and outside the church.

  • Christ College Index
    Christ College UA.17 CHRIST COLLEGE Christ's College (as it was originally called) opened in 1846 at Bishopsbourne. The foundation of a college "to provide a sound and liberal education for the sons of Colonists" on the lines of an Oxford or Cambridge college was originally proposed by Sir John Franklin, Lieutenant-Governor 1837 -1843. He discussed the project for a couple of years by correspondence with the British Secretary of State and Dr. Arnold of Rugby School. Dr Arnold recommended as headmaster John Philip Gell, who arrived in March 1840 and started a "superior" school, the Queen's School, to prepare boys for the college. Franklin then submitted his proposal to the Legislative Council which approved it and voted money for building a college and for Queen's School. Franklin and Gell proposed that the college should be established by charter, the Lieut-Governor should be visitor and the principal be appointed by the Crown and he and the fellows should manage the college. Both Dr. Arnold and Sir John Franklin considered college education must be "founded on a religious basis but Franklin wanted it "as little exclusive as possible". There should be "no religious tests, no interference with the conscience of either teacher or students and no notice taken of the distinction between different classes of Christians" although the principal should be of the church of the majority. A country site was preferred "to remove the incentive to drunkeness, gambling and low company" of a town and Franklin set apart 10 acres of the Government's farm at New Norfolk.

  • Contents 2 More Loans = Better Grades Kerrie Stevens 9 Rare Book Cataloguing Miranda Fyfield 17 ANZTLA Statistics 2017 62 SA Chapter Report 2017
    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”).
