In der Debatte um die Wissensgesellschaft werden räumliche Aspekte der öffentlichen Zugänglichkeit zu Information oft vernachlässigt, auch wenn längst anerkannt ist, dass Zugang nicht allein durch technischen Anschluss gewährleistet ist. Bibliotheken und Archive stehen vor der Herausforderung, sich in ihren bestehenden oder in neuen Gebäuden weiterzuentwickeln, um vor dem Hintergrund der Konvergenz verschiedener Informationsmedien und -inhalte die Trennung physischer und digitaler Informationsräume zu überwinden und eine bidirektionale Zugänglichkeit zu gewährleisten. Der Band "Formierungen von Wissensräumen" lotet aus Sicht von Wissenschaft, Architektur, Zivilgesellschaft und Bibliotheks- und Informationspraxis aus, welchen Beitrag Institutionen der räumlich gebundenen Informationsvermittlung wie Bibliotheken und Archive zur öffentlichen Zugänglichkeit von Information bereits leisten und in Zukunft leisten können.

Uzbekistan is a lower middle-income country located in Central Asia with a population of 30 million people and an economy that has been growing by over 8 percent per annum since the mid-2000s. The composition of the workforce has also changed dramatically in recent years. The higher education system is characterized by low access and concerns about the quality and relevance of the skills of its graduates. A recent regional skills study concluded that Uzbekistan is experiencing a substantial shortage of university graduates. The internal management of the higher education system is fragmented, with different actors having overlapping responsibilities, thereby making it difficult to ensure system-wide accountability. In order to enable the Uzbek higher education system to serve the economy and student population well, the quality assurance system should be compliant with global best practices while remaining locally relevant. While reported overall state budget spending on education, at around 8 percent of GDP, is one of the highest in the world, the share of this spending on tertiary education, at around 0.4 percent of GDP, is one the lowest. In summary, Uzbekistan's higher education system needs to modernize to better adapt to needs of the country's economy. The report, having analyzed the sector in detail, proposes measures to modernize the higher education sector in Uzbekistan.

The Coombs Building at The Australian National University is a Canberra icon. Named after one of Australia’s greatest administrators and public intellectuals—‘Nugget’ Herbert Cole Coombs—for more than forty years the building has housed two of the University’s four foundational Schools: the Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies and the Research School of Social Sciences. This volume of recollections is about the former. It looks at life in the building through the prism of personal experience and happenstance. Part memoir, part biography, and part celebration, this book is about the people of Coombs, past and present. Through evocative and lucid reflections, present and former denizens of the building share their passions and predilections, quietly savour their accomplishments and recall the failings and foibles of the past with a kindly tolerance.
