| Title: Jean Primrose Whyte |
| Sub-title: A Professional Biography |
| By (author): Coralie Elsenore Janis Jenkin |
| ISBN10-13: 0980510848 : 9780980510843 |
| After growing up on a remote South Australian property, and having seen her mother taken by a shark when she was two, Jean Primrose Whyte went on to become a dominant figure in Australian librarianship in the second half of the 20th century. Her time at the University of Chicago Graduate Library School was vital; it resulted in numerous lasting friendships and reinforced her commitment to the North American pattern of professional education in librarianship. In 1959 she went to the Fisher Library, University of Sydney, and in 1972 to the National Library of Australia, where she was one of only two women (among 850 men) in the second division of the Commonwealth Public Service. She had a pivotal and influential role as editor of the Australian Library Journal (1959â 71). She became foundation professor of the Graduate School of Librarianship, Monash University (1975â 88), where she implemented her ideas about professional education and produced outstanding graduates while promoting research. In 1987 she received the highest award available to a professional librarian in Australia, the H. C. L. Anderson Award. She was an accomplished poet, and hand-printed her own and othersâ works. Physically she was imposing, and students often remained in awe of her, but she took the opportunity to mould and encourage bright young minds, and those who were prepared to meet her standards became lifelong friends in whose careers she continued to take a practical interest. |

| Title: Still Learning |
| Sub-title: A 50 Year History of Monash University Peninsula Campus |
| By (author): Fay Woodhouse |
| ISBN10-13: 0980510821 : 9780980510829 |
| Still Learning: A 50 Year History of Monash University Peninsula Campus is an institutional history that brings the lives of students and staff â academic and extracurricularâ into focus, and conveys the excitement and atmosphere of the times. Several of Australiaâ s most famous artists, teachers, writers, politicians and entertainers studied at Peninsula Campus, and Still Learning connects significant moments in Australiaâ s history to their time on campus. Well known childrenâ s writer Paul Jennings, artist and sculptor Peter Corlett and the incorrigible Max Gillies were all students at the institution. As editor of the student magazine Struan,Gillies made a name for himself in 1962 over the issue of censorship, at a time when censorship laws greatly impacted on the value of student reading materials. In the 1960s and 1970s a â Miss Frankstonâ competition, which would not be countenanced today, was a popular event. Students writing in Struan enjoyed a staple diet of sport, social activities, rock music, sexual relationships, and interstate and overseas trips. They nonetheless complained of lack of funds for food! The 1970s were turbulent times in Australia, and the issues of the day played out in the lives of students and staff on the campus. Still Learning highlights the Portsea Annexe and the significant part it played as an external venue for teachers developing their classroom experience. In its in carnations as Frankston Teachersâ College and the State College of Victoria at Frankston, the institution thrived. However, as the Chisholm Institute of Technology at Frankston it faced many challenges and entered into a period of relative decline.The timely merger with Monash University in 1990 slowly improved the campusâ s fortunes. Today, Monash University Peninsula Campus is a significant part of the southern hemisphereâ s largest university, with a vibrant campus and a key focusas a health precinct. |
