RE: PERSONNEL EXCHANGES -

VANCOUVER COMMUNITY COLLEGE

I have received an offer from Dr. Paul Gallagher,
President of Vancouver Community College, to
facilitate the exchange of personnel between
Douglas College and VCC - Langara, King Edward
Centre, VVI, or their Administrative offices -

for 1986/87. The offer is open to faculty, staff
and administrators.

VCC has, of course, extended this opportunity to
other colleges in the Lower Mainland. In the
future, | expect that similar arrangements will
be possible between Douglas and these sister
institutions. This is probably the beginning of
many opportunities for a broadening of our
individual and collective experience.

Management Committee has discussed the invita-
tion from VCC, and supports the concept of
personnel exchanges. Pam Aitken, of the DFKA,
and Marian Exmann, of the BCGEU, have also
expressed support.

If you are interested in having discussion initiated
on your behalf, please speak to your immediate
supervisor, who will work, through our Personnel
office, with VCC.

COMPANY ANNUAL REPORTS

Do you own any shares of Canadian or American
companies which send you an annual report?
Do you simply throw it out?

The Library would like to increase its collection
of company reports (as inexpensively as possible)
and would appreciate any donations.

Please send them to Corky McIntyre. Thank you.

IMPAIRED (CILS)

SERVICES FOR PRINT IMPAIRED STUDENTS IN
NEED OF LEARNING MATERIALS

CILS is a province-wide library service for print-
impaired students attending B.C.'s provincially
funded colleges and institutes. The library service
is funded by the Ministry of Education, and is
delivered free of charge to print impaired students.

The library service provides students with text-
books, study, and research materials in braille
and tape formats.

Print impaired students qualify for the service if
they are: visually impaired, learning disabled, or
are unable to use conventional print because they
are physically handicapped.

Services are delivered through your college
library system. The services to your students
include: location searching, subject searching,
lending braille and tape books, registration with
library agencies, production of new taped books,
information on lifelong access to library services,
and related library services. The services to your
counsellors include: procedures for access,
assistance in preparing eligibility forms, holding
lists, and consultation on textbook and study
resources.

Contact your college librarian for more informa-
tion on how to access this service.

Sufficient lead time ensures greater success for
your students in obtaining the learning materials
they need on time. Act now, if you have print
impaired students currently enrolled in academic,
vocational, or continuing education courses cr
anticipate having print impaired students in your

classes.
