Description

Whatever specific characteristics we tend to associate with the concept of 'globalization', it is an expression of 'new geopolitics' in which a control over territory is of lesser importance than the control of and access to all kinds of markets, the ability to generate and use knowledge and the capacity to develop new technology and human resources. (1) Globalisation has changed the ways universities operate, and institutions of higher education in Australia have become increasingly pressured by their government s economic response to globalisation into entrepreneurial ways of providing education. Although change has been forced on the basis of economics, the results have social, cultural, and psychological implications that resound globally. (2) Universities are drawn into commercial endeavours because of practical necessity, and this in turn affects institutional change at all levels and in all departments. In response to these changes, librarians have been encouraged to internationalise library practice.
