The document discusses how ANU Library is responding to changing needs through initiatives like MOOCs, improving search and finding resources, and supporting open access. It covers topics like theories of cognition and literacy, analyzing usage of the library catalogue and e-resources, and redesigning services to incorporate research on cognition and learning. The library aims to continue adapting to new developments in education through collaboration and exploring initiatives such as digitization and scholarly publishing.

- 4. “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 4

- 12. Cognitive Load Theory • instructional guidance that promotes efficient learning is most successful • the learner’s “working memory” correlates to their ability to sensually process information • Vs Constructivism – which emphasises deep learning – a conceptual understanding of the learning material 12 Vogel-Walcutt, J.J., Gebrim, J.B., Bowers, C., Carper, T.M. and Nicholson, D.
