Bridging workplace changes

Dr. William Bridges, one of North America’s foremost authorities on transition, will be
featured in the second of two interactive video conferences available at Douglas College.

The conference originates from California’s De Anza Community College and will be of in-
terest to leaders from faculty, staff and administrative groups, and College Board members.

The program, entitled A Personal Survival Plan for Continuous Change, will be presented
on October 28. It will address new styles of career and life planning which allow people to
cope with disruptions caused by constant changes in the work environment. The opening
program, Managing the Human Side of Change, aired in September.

Dr. Bridges works with organizations that are downsizing, reorganizing and introducing
new technologies and has authored several books on the subject.

The conference runs from 8:30am to 3pm in room 0602. For more information call Eugene
Hrushowy at 5122; to register call Yvonne Mostert at 5386. «

Tapping into
university
indexes

Faculty members who wish to access the
local university catalogues and on-line in-
dexes through their own modem may do
so - the only catch is that you have to
have a library card number (unlike the
public libraries which allow anyone to
dial in directly).

To obtain a UBC or SFU library card,
check at the circulation desk of the respec-
tive library. You will need proof of
employment as a college faculty member,
so take along a letter from personnel, or
try a combination of your employee LD.
card and a recent pay stub. University
cards expire at the end of a year, but can
be renewed. Each of the university
libraries have extensive handouts on how
to dial in to their systems. UBC’s system
is not very user friendly, so you may

also wish to purchase a guide to their
command language from the UBC book
store. A
