While the “donors’ club” initially consisted mostly of a small number of multilaterals and wealthy nations, today’s major players also include countries like Brazil and China as well as numerous non-state actors. This paper charts the history of development assistance as it evolved from a Cold War competition to a growth and poverty reduction enterprise. In the course of this evolution, the organizational structure of development cooperation has gone from an architecture to an ecosystem. The paper concludes with a discussion of three strategic questions of development assistance, noting the diversity of solutions devised over time.

The third floor of the library is home to a Research Collection that includes scholarly monographs, an Ontario Historic Textbook collection, a Historic Ontario Ministry of Education documents collection, print copies of graduate theses and projects (pre-2010), and print journals that we have decided to retain on site. The Library is a welcoming space that provides graduate students with both individual study carrels, areas for collaborative work, and informal seating with views over Lake Ontario. The online collections at Queen’s University Library are substantial and include over 2000 online journals in the field and strong ebook holdings. The Queen’s Library subscribes to the major research databases in Education, including Education Source and ERIC on the EBSCOhost platform, ProQuest Dissertations and Theses Global, Web of Science, and many other disciplinary and multidisciplinary databases that support interdisciplinary study. Two specialist Education Librarians support the work of graduate students in education, with additional services provided by our Research Data Management and Open Scholarship Services teams. Graduate-level instruction ranges from one-on-one consultations to group workshops on research tools (EndNote, Covidence) and search strategies. Teaching venues include a classroom equipped with 18 computers and a Teaching Corner for larger classes in the Main Library Room. The teaching spaces are both equipped with projection and sound capacities. The Queen’s University Library supports researchers across the entire research life cycle, from assisting with the development of a research question, to the writing of a literature review, the completion of a data management plan, the analysis of data, the dissemination of research results, and the preservation of data and scholarship. We welcome our graduate community to visit our curated print collections and to read more about our services on the Queen’s University Library Education Research Guide (https://guides.library.queensu.ca/educationresearch/overview/).","PeriodicalId":362325,"journal":{"name":"United Nations Statistical Yearbook (Ser.
