<p>The aim of the present study was to address the void in the LIS literature regarding principles and practices of exhibiting Special Collections in New Zealand libraries by exploring the opinions of library staff using an ethnographic research design. The study explored four main areas: the extent to which Special Collections were believed to contribute to the cultural heritage of New Zealand; the purpose of exhibiting in New Zealand libraries; whether or not guidelines were considered to be important when exhibiting Special Collections; and the extent to which web technology was utilised to identify, publish or publicise Special Collection in New Zealand libraries. Three methods of data collection were employed: an online questionnaire, focus groups and Web site evaluations. The study found that library staff strongly agreed that material held in Special Collections contributes to cultural heritage. Exhibiting was found to provide many benefits to libraries, their staff, the community and the nation through access to collections, education, collection development, and research. Although the study did not uncover much evidence of guidelines in New Zealand libraries, the results of the study indicate that these are desirable and library staff would be more inclined to exhibit if they existed. Web technology was not highly utilised by libraries, however the potential was widely recognised and many participants in the study indicated they saw potential to take advantage of Web technologies to promote and provide access to materials in Special Collections in the future.</p>

The purpose of this work is to identify some issues of current sustainable development process in polyethnic border regions of Ukraine. The need to involve various domestic stakeholders (like local, regional and national authorities, businesses, households, education and research institutions, NGOs, regional development agencies) and representatives from neighboring countries in elaboration and implementation of sustainable development programs in border regions is substantiated. Conducted survey helped to identify the position of local NGOs representatives, involved into the different regional development projects, about the priority directions of sustainable development and obstacles for their realization in the polyethnic region. Certain peculiarities of sustainable development related to regional polyethnicity have been identified during the survey. Certain ways to increase the involvement of various ethnic groups in process of sustainable development in border regions have been proposed.
