VISITORS
A WELCOME to all involved I the Ordination intensive.
FROM THE CAMDEN
Hello everyone, I trust this finds you well – no doubt working through your pile of assignments for this semester!
Just wanted to let you know that a Reserve has been created in the library specifically for information literacy and essay writing skills. These books may be helpful to you by providing guidance for essay planning and writing. I have found them to be very useful – and have placed pink tabs on sections of the books that may be helpful. When you are next in feel free to check them out! These books are in the Reserve section of the library (near the circulation desk) and are on 3 day loan.

SECOND WEEK Promotion - NATIONAL SURVEY OF THEOLOGICAL STUDENTS
The Australian and New Zealand Council of Deans of Theology is conducting a major research study into theological education in Australia Australia
· First Year Students Survey (for those in the first third of their degree)
· Final Year Students Survey (for those in the last third of their degree)
· Longitudinal Survey (for students who are in a position to complete two stages of a survey over a period of 12 months).
If you can find around 15-30 minutes to complete one of the surveys, your contribution to this important project will be greatly appreciated. For information on the research project and how to participate in the surveys, please visit the project website at
On the website, click on “Activities” to go to the details of the student surveys.
While the survey is to be completed anonymously, before participating you will need to read and complete the relevant Project Information and Consent Form, which is an ethical requirement for all such research. (Follow the link under “Activities”.)
Once you have done that, the survey may be accessed via the incorporated Survey Monkey Online Survey link. The survey itself is done online, is very easy to complete, and may be done at any time using any computer that suits you, although we would like it completed by 31st August 2011 (with the second stage of the Longitudinal Survey by May 2012).
Your participation in these surveys will provide a valuable “voice of the students” which can then be used in the development of theological programs. The team sincerely hopes you will be able to take the time to let us hear your voice. For further details contact Gerard Moore.
