This paper draws on the outcomes of the Australian contribution to a cross-national collaboration among a team of investigators from Australia, New Zealand, the United States and the United Kingdom who have identified a series of best practices in relation to introducing first year students to e-learning at university. The Australian study draws on the international draft framework-currently under development-with a particular focus on implications for the quality of the first year experience in Australian higher education contexts.

Introduction The primary purpose of this paper is to explore potential interactions between information environments and learning environments, with emphasis on work that needs to be done involving standards, architectural modelling or interfaces in order to permit these two worlds to co-exist and evolve more productively. The emphasis here is on mapping the territory at a relatively superficial level, to identify questions and issues and to make some suggestions about what groups might most usefully undertake work in the various areas.

SAAs remained stable in 116 patients (91%). Eight patients (6.3%) required intervention for aneurysm growth after a mean of 24 months. There were no ruptures in the surveillance cohort. Eighty-four patients (33.6%) underwent early repair. Mean size of SAAs that were repaired early was 20.6 mm (range, 8-140 mm). For intact SAAs, 30-day morbidity and mortality rates after repair were 13% and 3%, respectively. Thirteen patients (5.2%) presented with a ruptured SAA and underwent repair. Thirty-day morbidity and mortality rates after rupture were 54% and 8%, respectively. Five ruptured SAAs (38%) were of the pancreaticoduodenal arcade. On multivariate analysis, only pancreaticoduodenal aneurysms were strongly associated with rupture (P ¼ .005). Conclusions: Small SAAs (<2 cm) are not prone to significant expansion and do not require frequent surveillance. This study suggests that imaging every 3 years for small SAAs is adequate. Aneurysms of the pancreaticoduodenal arcade are more likely to rupture and therefore require a more aggressive approach to intervention.

A world-first collaboration between the national, state and territory libraries of Australia, NED was launched in 2019 and transformed our approach to legal deposits in Australia. NED is more than a repository, operating as a national online service for depositing, preserving and accessing Australian electronic publications, with benefits to publishers, libraries and the public alike. This article explains what makes NED unique in the context of global research repository infrastructure, outlining the ways in which NED member libraries worked to balance user needs with technological capacity and the variations within nine sets of legal deposit legislation.
