In her role as Faculty Librarian for Edith Cowan University, Gross examines the changes taking place in Australian libraries. She mentions several digital collections, including AustLit, and she comments on the relative impact of 'local digital content' with respect to 'the hegemony of global publishing'. Gross also compares the Australian situation to that of libraries in South Asia and, in particular, details a partnership project between Edith Cowan University and the Maldives College of Higher Education.
