“That's what education should be," I
said, "the art of orientation. Educators
should devise the simplest and most
effective methods of turning minds around. It
shouldn't be the art of implanting sight in the
organ, but should proceed on the
understanding that the organ already has
the capacity, but is improperly aligned and
isn't facing the right way.”
― Plato, The Republic 3
Get out from that kitchen and rattle
those pots and pans

“Shake”
• Looking forwards with MOOCs
• Collections
 opening up our thinking
 open access resources come to into their
own
• Is “look it up in the catalogue” a sufficient
expectation?

“Roll”
• Scholarly publishing – taking the bull by
the horns
– ANU’s first eText
• Partnerships
– Digitisation
• Copyright reform
– And complexities when we are using
overseas platforms

A whole new world
That's where we'll be
A thrilling place
A wondrous place
