This document discusses theories of economic convergence and divergence between countries. It summarizes the Solow growth model theory of conditional convergence, where countries converge if factors like labor growth, savings rates, and productivity are equal. However, reality shows no correlation between initial income and subsequent growth. Endogenous growth theories incorporate factors like human capital and knowledge spillovers but also do not perfectly match empirical evidence. Critiques of the Solow model cite issues like social infrastructure, institutions, technology, and economic policies that can lead to divergence rather than convergence between countries in practice.

What makes a great place? A story about people, learning and librariesChristian Lauersen
Christian Lauersen discusses what makes a great library place. He argues that libraries should be workshops for research and cultivate thorough learning. A great library provides an open platform for education and events using digital methods, hardware, software for data analysis and visualization. It offers a dynamic, inspiring learning environment. The most valuable asset is not furniture but the librarian and users. Facilitation of activities like digital methods sessions and data sprints helps build community. A sense of belonging is important. Libraries support different kinds of learning in an alternative setup to the classic. Key to success is the evolving network between the library, universities, and other institutions. Challenges include defining the library's role and positioning itself in the research environment.

Evolution and transformation: spaces, services and staircases IFLA
Singapore Management University’s Li Ka Shing Library was designed in 2002 and built prior to 2005. It was officially opened in 2006 as part of a brand new university in the city with the two Singapore cultural icons on each side, the Singapore Art Museum and the Singapore National Museum overlooking the Campus Green with its heritage trees. The six storey building houses the library that occupies four storeys, with levels one and two housing various businesses, cafes and restaurants and other campus facilities. The growth in student numbers coupled with the changing needs and expectations of today’s student population and the outdated design features have prompted the library and the university management to begin a master planning exercise. The scope of the master planning process and the journey itself presented both expected and unexpected outcomes in terms of raising awareness of space use, realignment of library operations, user involvement, service re-design, multi-purpose spaces usable by a variety of user groups, commercial use of spaces, fund raising, and political and strategic alliances across the university
Jumpstarting the heart of campus ipal 2013Joyce Meldrem

Key steps included establishing a campus planning committee with diverse stakeholders, conducting an environmental scan, identifying strategic themes and goals, and creating a new mission statement. The process resulted in goals to shape the library's collection, increase funding, enhance the learning space, promote the library's value, and maintain supportive services.
This document summarizes the University of Auckland Library's experience with e-books over 10 years. It discusses how the library's e-book collection and spending has grown significantly since 2004. It also describes the various methods used to provide access to e-books and the importance of quality metadata records. While e-book usage has increased, some users still prefer print. The library continues to work on improving access and promoting e-books through initiatives like information literacy programs. Areas for ongoing improvement include standardization across platforms and more collaboration between libraries and vendors.
This document discusses the benefits of collective print collections among college libraries. It notes that Occidental College has reduced its print collections and expanded partnerships to share resources. Collective print collections increase preservation capacity, free up library space, reduce duplication, and encourage greater access through digitization. Regional and national models are emerging for collectively housing and archiving print journals and other materials. The document assumes these efforts will succeed based on factors like improved borrowing networks, technology advancements, and incentives around funding and resources. It acknowledges emotional aspects of reducing local print collections and encourages staying informed on developments through various listservs, conferences, and publications.

Attitudes of academic staff towards open educational resources1Muharrem Yilmaz
This document summarizes the findings of a study on the attitudes of academic staff at Tallinn University towards open educational resources (OER). The study found that around half of academics were familiar with OER, but only a small percentage had good experience creating them. Most academics saw themselves as both creators and learners of OER. Common materials published as OER included lecture notes, courses, and articles. The biggest challenges to creating OER were lack of time and skills. While many academics saw value in OER, they had concerns about lack of rewards or financial benefits for their contributions. The study concluded that motivation, training, and reward systems are needed to encourage more academics to participate in OER.

The document discusses a study on international master's students' perspectives on open educational resources (OER). It finds that the students are familiar with OER and have awareness of and access to them. However, they expect higher education institutions to provide more standardized OER. The students see OER as a promising opportunity for lifelong learning. But they feel OER need to be more visible online. The findings can inform the OER community about students' general views of these resources.
