Everyone will have to become familiar with
the system and accept a reduction in oper-
ating efficiency until everyone is pro-
ficient. Delays at busier times will
still occur and rudeness and abuse will
only still further reduce service.

Cooperation and understanding of all in
appreciating the burden on operators and
limitations of any cammunication system
loaded to capacity, will be required.

KNOWLEDGE NETWORK TELECAST

 

The Ministry of Education has sponsored
a two-part project for instructors of
adults to be telecast on the Knowledge
Network.

The two-part program is based on the
Teaching Techniques Series produced by
Capilano College. Both parts will
"focus specifically on the use of
Questioning in classroans, labs and
shops".

The Douglas College Library has both
the Teaching Techniques Series and a
videotape of the first broadcast which
occurred on October 18. The second
broadcast is scheduled for Monday,
November 15, 1530 to 1700 hours on the
Knowledge Network. Our Library will
also be videotaping this second broad-
cast should you be unable to view it at
the scheduled time.

 

COLLEGE ARCHIVES

In preparation for the move to the new
building, many people may be cleaning
out their files. Please do not forget
about the Archives. It would be a great
loss if valuable historical materials

 

were to be lost or misplaced in the move.

Guideline for transferral of files to
Archives are as follows:

1. Faculty, staff and departments should
forward to the Archives material which
is no longer needed for current use.

Files should be examined every two or
three years for transferral of mater-
ials.

No paper, photographs, blueprints, etc.
should be discarded without prior con-
sideration of their suitability for the
Archives.

Materials which may be discarded:

requests for course information
acknowledgements and letter of trans-
mittal

outdated mailing lists

memos about the physical arrangement
of meetings

details of office management
applications for positions

notes on interviews with unsuccessful
applicants

The Archives does not save everything
passed on to it. Records are considered
to be of permanent value if they are
useful for administrative or historical
research. Files are kept in acid-free
boxes in the same order in which they were
received. Findings aids listing the con-
tents of the Archives.

Materials can normally be used in the Ar-
chives room, unless it is confidential.
Photocopies can be made of most materials,
or in some instances, the originals can be
borrowed for a short time. All use is with
consent of the Archives Librarian.

In order to transfer or use material, con-
tact Jean Cockburn, the Archives Librarian,
at Winslow, local 20.
