    Evangelists of empire?: missionaries in colonial history
    (eScholarship Research Centre in collaboration with the School of Historical Studies and with the assistance of Melbourne University Bookshop, 2008)
    In recent years, renewed interest in the role of Christian missionaries in colonising projects has helped inform and challenge current concepts of gender, race and colonial governance. "Evangelists of Empire?" gathers together a diverse group of scholars around these evolving new histories in Australia and other colonial sites. Utilising a range of source material and a variety of theoretical and methodological approaches, this ground-breaking collection offers the reader new ways of assessing the uneven paths of mission endeavours, and examines the ways in which Indigenous peoples responded to - and took ownership of - aspects of Christian and Western culture and spirituality.

    Constructing Information Literacy: A Vygotskian approach
    Lazarow, Ms Melanie (Central Queensland University Press, 2004)
    The prominent educational theories of Vygotsky have just entered the discipline of information literacy. I will concentrate on three of his themes: the dialectical interdependence of the environment and the self, the need to relate to a student’s potential rather than their achievement, and the inadequacy of most current measures of information literacy.

    Electronic journal delivery in academic libraries
    CROTHERS, STEPHEN ; Prabhu, Margaret ; SULLIVAN, SHIRLEY (Haworth Press, 2007)
    The authors recount experiences of the variety of problems and issues involved in providing access to electronic journals in a large academic library. The paper excludes concerns emanating from decisions to subscribe to aggregations such as those produced by vendors like EBSCO, but concentrates on scholarly journals ordered individually, or as part of a scholarly or scientific society package. Despite the number of years that publishers have been offering electronic journals, pricing policies are still fluid, and the problems of access encountered in the late ‘90s still cause frustrating delays in provision of access to our academic staff and students. Questions on whether or not to use a subscription agent to assist in solving these problems are raised. There are no hard and fast rules, and no easy answers.
