Curriculum Based Information Literacy Skills For First Year Undergraduate Students, Lynne Wright, Catriona Mcgurk
Curriculum Based Information Literacy Skills For First Year Undergraduate Students, Lynne Wright, Catriona Mcgurk
Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Education) - Papers
This case study centres on the information literacy program for first year undergraduate students at the University of Wollongong Library. The university has one central library servicing an eftsu student population of approximately 9,100. In 1995, 3,000 of these are commencing undergraduates. In global terms this is a small university and, mainly due to physical restrictions of~e campus, it is not predicted to grow above 10,700 eftsu by the year 2000. Therefore, the impact of student numbers on the provision of service will not dramatically change in the near future. The library has always provided bibliographic instruction, either basic orientation …
Australian Aboriginal Dreaming Stories: A Chronological Bibliography Of Published Works 1789-1991, Michael K. Organ
Australian Aboriginal Dreaming Stories: A Chronological Bibliography Of Published Works 1789-1991, Michael K. Organ
Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Education) - Papers
The bibliography lists published works relating to Aboriginal stories which have been labelled by non-Aboriginal Australians with a variety of terms: myths or mythology, legends, fairy tales, superstitions, fables, traditions, stories, dreamtime stories, narratives or even ghost stories. Preference is now given to the use of the term ‘dreaming stories’. For a discussion of the various definitions and classifications of such material by Australian anthropologists and ethnologists refer Hiatt (1975). Interpretation by local and overseas researchers and academics has not been addressed in detail within this bibliography as such a topic covers a vast field, but some such items have …
A Conspiracy Of Silence - The Nsw National Parks And Wildlife Service And Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Sites, Michael K. Organ
A Conspiracy Of Silence - The Nsw National Parks And Wildlife Service And Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Sites, Michael K. Organ
Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Education) - Papers
The New South Wales National Parks and Wildlife Service (NP&WS), under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974 (NSW) ('the Act'), is responsible for the 'care, control. and management' of Aboriginal cultural hentage sites (middens, burial sites, rock art sites, etc.) throughout NSW.2 Section 90 of the Act states that it is an offence to destroy, deface or disturb an Aboriginal site, and that consent to do so must be sought from the Director of the Service. It is questionable not only whether it is appropriate that the Service should wield such power, but also if it is adequately carrying …

Early Land Settlement In Illawarra 1804-1861, Benjamin Lindsay, Michael K. Organ, A. P. Doyle
Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Education) - Papers
The writer of this story was born in Illawarra over 76 years ago [c1857], and during his childhood and youth he shared in the experiences and struggles of the pioneer settlers in that rich and beautiful portion of the State. In this story he has attempted to give a detailed account of the manner in which the Crown Lands of Illawarra were disposed of, for the information of all who are interested in matters pertaining to Illawarra, and, more particularly, the large body of farmers now occupying those lands, many of whom are descendants of the pioneers who came from …
The Menzies Family Of Minamurra House, Jamberoo, Michael K. Organ, Arthur Cousins
The Menzies Family Of Minamurra House, Jamberoo, Michael K. Organ, Arthur Cousins
Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Education) - Papers
In January 1839 a young Scottish couple – Dr. Robert Menzies and his recent bride Margaret (nee Tindell) - arrived in Sydney aboard the Earl Durham. Like so many other free immigrants of the time, they had journeyed to New South Wales with the intention of settling on a farm and making a future for themselves and their family there. They had high hopes of perhaps even acquiring a small fortune within a decade or so, selling up at a profit, and retiring to their beloved family and friends back home in Scotland. However, such was not to be …
Australia - Japan Industrial Relations Bibliography, Michael K. Organ, G. Warner
Australia - Japan Industrial Relations Bibliography, Michael K. Organ, G. Warner
Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Education) - Papers
This bibliography contains references to works in English dealing primarily with Japanese industrial policy, industrial relations, the labour market, trade unionism, and associated topics including human resource management, comparative economics and investment relationships between Australia and Japan. References to internal, comparative and external studies of Japanese industrial policy and labour markets are also included. The bibliography is divided into two sections as follows: 1. Australia-Japan - Specifically deals with comparative studies of Japan and Australia, or studies carried out by Australian researchers on relevant Japanese topics; 2. General - Encompasses worldwide investigations of Japanese industrial relations and the labour market …
Arthur Cousins 1866-1960, Michael K. Organ
Arthur Cousins 1866-1960, Michael K. Organ
Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Education) - Papers
He was that "rara avis" in Australian historiography, the devoted local historian who has a realisation of the broader implications of regional development. So wrote Sydney University Archivist D.S. Macmillan in an obituary notice published in the October 1960 number of the Union Recorder, commemorating the death of Arthur Cousins on Wednesday, 17 August, at his Cremone residence, aged 94 years. Though having known him for only a brief period at the end of a long life, Macmillan had developed a degree of admiration and respect for this elderly gentleman, who, along with G.E. Hall and others, had worked towards …
Conrad Martens : Journal Of A Voyage From England To Australia Aboard Hms Beagle And Hms Hyacinth 1833-35, Michael K. Organ
Conrad Martens : Journal Of A Voyage From England To Australia Aboard Hms Beagle And Hms Hyacinth 1833-35, Michael K. Organ
Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Education) - Papers
Conrad Martens (1801-78) is widely regarded as Australia's foremost watercolourist of the colonial period, having produced a large body of work whilst resident in New South Wales between 1835-78. His journal of a voyage from England to Australia during 1833-35 aboard HMS Beagle with Charles Darwin and HMS Hyacinth was for a long period catalogued as an `Anonymous Journal of a Voyage on board H.M.S. Hyacinth' in the collection of the Mitchell Library, Sydney (ML A429). However in 1993 it was identified as by Conrad Martens. This was a significant find as it also contained an account of Martens' time …
Illawarra And South Coast Aborigines 1770-1900, Michael K. Organ
Illawarra And South Coast Aborigines 1770-1900, Michael K. Organ
Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Education) - Papers
The following compilation of historical manuscript and published material relating to the Illawarra and South Coast Aborigines for the approximate period 1770 to 1900 aims to supplement that contained in the author's Illawarra and South Coast Aborigines 1770- 1850 (Wollongong University, 1990). The latter was compiled in a relatively short 18 month period between 1988 and 1989, and since then a great deal of new material has been discovered, with more undoubtedly yet to be unearthed of relevance to this study. As a result the present document contains material of a similar nature to that in the 1990 work, with …
New Age Cooperation: The Effect Of Technology On Library Cooperation, John Shipp, Neil Cairns
New Age Cooperation: The Effect Of Technology On Library Cooperation, John Shipp, Neil Cairns
Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Education) - Papers
Novel and aggressive attitudes toward cooperation will need to accompany the development of information technologies if libraries are to maintain a central role in the information environment. Existing cooperative mechanisms must be expanded by the establishment of international strategic alliances with publishers, database producers, software developers and hardware suppliers. In particular, Australian librarians need to re-assess their involvement in scholarly publishing and develop strategies which meet the challenges posed by emergent communication and storage technologies.
W.B. Clarke As Scientific Journalist, Michael K. Organ
W.B. Clarke As Scientific Journalist, Michael K. Organ
Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Education) - Papers
This paper comments on W.B. Clarke's role as a scientific journalist in Sydney, 1839-1878. It also argues that Clarke has been misrepresented over time because large sections of his published work - specifically anonymous and signed newspaper articles - have not been considered in analyses of his life and assessments of his place in the history of Australian science.
Futurebank: New Technologies And The Australian Banking Sector, Laurie Stevenson Mr
Futurebank: New Technologies And The Australian Banking Sector, Laurie Stevenson Mr
Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Education) - Papers
The Australian Banking Sector underwent a period of massive and rapid change in the early 1990s. Factors such as deregulation, new technologies, bank mergers and Parliamentary Inquiries significantly reshaped the organisational and employment landscape. The Australian Bank Employees' Union commissioned this report to review the contemporary finance industry and identify trends contributing to shaping the finance sector in the future.
The Ghost Of Ghost Creek, Wollongong, Michael Organ
The Ghost Of Ghost Creek, Wollongong, Michael Organ
Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Education) - Papers
Every town has its tales of ghosts. Campbelltown has the famous Fishers Ghost and Wollongong is no exception, even to the point of having a ghost Creek, located at the Western end of Crown Street, near its junction with the Mt Keira Road and the expressway. Unfortunately much of the creek and its associated wooden and stone bridge dating from the 1830's is buried beneath the major roadworks in that area. The adjacent photo is all that is left to remind us of what the original Ghost Creek and bridge looked like. But why Ghost Creek? The answer takes us …
Finance Sector Union Strategies In A World Of Change, Laurie Stevenson, Barbara Lepani
Finance Sector Union Strategies In A World Of Change, Laurie Stevenson, Barbara Lepani
Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Education) - Papers
This conference paper was presented at the 'International Federation of Commercial, Clerical, Professional and Technical Employees' Conference, San Fransisco, August, 1991. The paper examined topics related to issues impacting the Australian Banking and Finance Sector such as Deregulation, Foreign investment, the European Community, Labour Force trends, New technologies, industrial relations and future directions and strategies for the Australian Finance Sector Union.
New Technologies And Their Employment Effects In The Australian Banking Sector, Laurie Stevenson
New Technologies And Their Employment Effects In The Australian Banking Sector, Laurie Stevenson
Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Education) - Papers
The introduction of new technologies into the Australian Banking Sector in the 1990s initiated numerous changes to employment arrangements in the Australian Banking industry. This conference paper examined a number of case studies of examples of new banking technologies and their employment effects. The paper identified two functional types of new banking technologies: those that assisted the centralisation of banking operations and; those that assisted the decentralisation of banking operations. Based on this analysis, the paper discussed the potential effects on employment structures in the Australian banking sector.

Preliminary Report For The Australian Bank Employees' Submission To The House Of Representatives Standing Committee On Finance And Public Administration Inquiry Into The Australian Banking Industry, Laurie Stevenson Mr, Barbara Lepani
Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Education) - Papers
The Australian Bank Employees' Union commissioned the Centre for Technology and Social Change at the University of Wollongong to prepare a preliminary report for submission to the 'Martin Inquiry into the Australian Banking Industry'. This submission examined the results of deregulation of the Australian Banking Industry in terms of increased competition, the entry of foreign banks, innovation, new technologies and financial services, takeovers and mergers and human resources. The submission's recommendations to the Martin Committee were based on these findings.
Clarke, Coal And Controversy: The Traumas Of Reverend W.B. Clarke In His Defence Of Australian Geology During The Nineteenth Century, Michael K. Organ
Clarke, Coal And Controversy: The Traumas Of Reverend W.B. Clarke In His Defence Of Australian Geology During The Nineteenth Century, Michael K. Organ
Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Education) - Papers
[Extract] Though readily given the title Father of Australian geology , the Reverend W.B. Clarke remains something of a mysterious figure to Australian geologists. When asked what his major achievements were, few would be able to offer an answer. Yet such disregard is commonly the fate of many pioneers in the field of science, for once a discovery is made, or theory proven, the profession moves on to new and more challenging fields, with scant regard for the foundations upon which current work is based.... William Branwhite Clarke (1798-1878) was a pioneer in the field of Australian science who, though …
The Multifunction Polis: A Catalyst For Change In The 21st Century, Laurie Stevenson, Barbara Lepani
The Multifunction Polis: A Catalyst For Change In The 21st Century, Laurie Stevenson, Barbara Lepani
Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Education) - Papers
The proposal to establish a Multifunction Polis in Australia emerged at a time when Australia was confronting a number of challenges. The challenges were a result of four inter-related macro factors - globalisation, internationalisation, technological change and an expanding Asian consumer market. This report examined potential roles of the finance sector and also the Australian Bank Employees' Union in participating in, and contributing to, the development of the Multifunction Polis initiative.
Cd Rom And Access To Information In Academic Libraries, Carole Alcock
Cd Rom And Access To Information In Academic Libraries, Carole Alcock
Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Education) - Papers
CD-Rom databases have been hailed as a means of avoiding the problems inherent in budgeting for online services, and hence also the need to charge for searching. However, some libraries are already considering charging for their use. This is a retrograde step. The University of Wollongong library has purchased a number of CD-ROM databases which have been enthusiastically received by both students and academic staff. At present, we do not charge for this service. Initial indications are that the introduction of CD-Rom databases has meant a slump in demand for online searches. Clearly, CD-Rom and online services could be complementary, …
Cd Roms At The University Of Wollongong: A Case Study, Craig Grimson
Cd Roms At The University Of Wollongong: A Case Study, Craig Grimson
Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Education) - Papers
The University of Wollongong Library purchased 21 bibliographic databases on CD-ROM during 1988, 1989 and 1990 covering the disciplines of business, psychology, medicine, geography, sociology, education, science, nursing, engineering, mathematics and occupational health and safety. The databases are available for use by all students and staff, and their use is continuing to be evaluated. The introduction of the CD··ROM service has had significant implications for library users and staff, e. g . the number of online searches has reduced, the use of serial literature has increased, the use of hard copy indexes has changed and staff involvement in the training …

Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Education) - Papers
The following "Reminiscences of Illawarra" initially appeared in the Illawarra Mercury between 17 April and 18 August 1894 in 24 parts, each part usually dealing with a separate aspect of the very early history of Illawarra, and more specifically with the early development of the township of Wollongong.This book is one of a continuing series to be published as aids to the study of local history in Illawarra. Some thirty works are at present in preparation or in contemplation. The series' objective is to provide low-cost authentic source material for students as well as general readers. Some of the texts …

Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Education) - Papers
This article attempts to define ephemera for archivists and librarians; looks at the methods o f dealing with ephemera previously employed by both groups; suggests that instead o f undergoing off-hand destruction, ephemera be considered a necessary part o f a comprehensive archival collection; and, finally, proposes a simple system for gaining physical and intellectual control over ephemera in an Archives, based on methods employed by the University o f New South Wales Archives.
Bibliographic Notes On Captain R.M. Westmacott's "Sketches In Australia", Michael K. Organ
Bibliographic Notes On Captain R.M. Westmacott's "Sketches In Australia", Michael K. Organ
Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Education) - Papers
During my investigations into the life and times of Robert Marsh Westmacott (Aide-de-Camp to Governor Bourke from 1832 to 1837; artist and settler in Illawarra from 1837 to 1847), a somewhat mysterious figure like so many of our early colonial artists, I have encountered a number of variations of his published collection of eighteen tinted lithographs plus descriptive text, entitled Sketches in Australia. The question arose: is the work a true 'book' or merely a collection of lithographs? The bibliographic details for this work are described by Ferguson, 4955. However my studies have revealed a number of important variations of …
Pioneers Of The Illawarra - A History Of The Family Of Elias Organ In Wollongong, 1839-1869, Michael K. Organ, Robert Hardy
Pioneers Of The Illawarra - A History Of The Family Of Elias Organ In Wollongong, 1839-1869, Michael K. Organ, Robert Hardy
Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Education) - Papers
This history deals with the life and times of members of the Organ family who settled in the Illawarra region in 1839. The account is based on official government records and newspaper accounts. Unlike other such histories no core of personal memorabilia including letters, documents or artifacts survives, upon which a more personal account can be constructed. Some personal reminiscences dictated by members of the family in the 1920s and '30s have been used, however they are sketchy and were only used to indicate a line of research. This detailed study focuses on the circumstances of the Organ family during …
