Place (Material, Metaphorical, Symbolic) in Education History: The Townsville College of Advanced Education Library Resource Centre, 1974-1981
Gasparini, Fay; Vick, Malcolm
History of Education, v37 n1 p141-162 Jan 2008
Place is material, conceptual and symbolic. Physically, the Library at Townsville College of Advanced Education was central, visible and distinctive. Internally, it provided a dramatically different environment from other college buildings. It functioned as the (metaphorical) "hub" of the external studies programme and, when the college was under threat, it formed a symbolic rallying point. (Contains 7 figures.)
