This is to let the powers that be know that as a student at UQ who attends both the Ipswich and the St. Lucia campuses, I must say that I am impressed with the kindness and knowledge of the Ipswich Library staff. No question is too little (or stupid) or is too much for them and they do their very best to assist in every way possible.
You definately feel like you are more than 'just a student/number'. I guess this is possible as it is a smaller campus, but it is very welcoming and makes me want to come into the library and study.
Having a wonderful structure to study within is another reason that makes me want to come into the library and study (love the stream, the fish and the trees). As well as having enough computer, powerpoints etc available assists with it just being a great place to be.
Thankyou for letting me, let you know just how great I think the Ipswich Library and Staff are.

Hi

Could you please let me know when last was the journal ranking spreadsheet updated on this page:
http://www.uq.edu.au/sbs/uq-journal-rankings-and-uq-publisher-lists

In other words, I want to know how current these rankings are.

Thanks

Hi,

I just came across a couple of times people taking pictures or noting down the library records of various items in the UQ Library. I have not attended the Library Information session yet but I am sure that Reading History and My Lists options are highlighted in the trainings. But I think there is a further need to make students aware of these wonderful options which can be used from anywhere and at anytime.

As the sample and/or observation can be very poor please ignore this if this does not make sense or data suggests the contrary.

Thanks.

This is an important book in the field (relevant to political science, international law and philosophy) from academics at ANU.

Forces for Good: Cosmopolitan Militaries in the Twenty-First Century

edited by Lorraine Elliott and Graeme Cheeseman
(London: Manchester University Press, 2004), 346pp
http://www.manchesteruniversitypress.co.uk

This book is about how governments, militaries and institutions respond to cosmopolitan debates about solidarity and the use of force to defend distant strangers against tyranny and the gross abuse of human rights. Its contributors include scholars, defence practitioners and serving military officers who, in a series of case studies, explore the normative, political and operational consequences for military forces of the proposition that they can and perhaps should be used in pursuit of cosmopolitan values and objectives. The book examines the cosmopolitan credentials of the militaries of various multilateral institutions and individual countries and canvasses what kinds of military force are available, or might be required, for cosmopolitan or cosmopolitan-minded purposes.
