MANUALS: NOTICE TO ALL FACULTY & STAFF

Now is the time to plan those manuals
you wish to have sold in the bookstore
this coming September. ‘There was a
terrific demand for manuals this past
semester, over 100 requests totalling
some 4,558 manuals. These requests, on
top of our regular beginning of semester
workload created quite a few problems;
to compound the problem, most of these
requests came in late August when the
printing department is short staffed
due to vacations. These late demands
also create problems for the bookstore
for the same reasons. In order to
streamline the system for producing man-
uals, the following procedure will have
to be followed:

1) Originator consults with bookstore
regarding saleability of manuals. A
Mutual agreement regarding quantities
to be sold through the bookstore will
be reached.

2) Bookstore issues a purchase order to
printing department authorizing the
quantity of manuals they will accept.

3) Originator of manual prepares the
material and printing requisition,
then submits to printing. Requisi-
tions must include all information
pertinent to the printing and dis-
tribution. ie. 20 copies to Rich-
mond Bookstore; 210 copies to Surrey
Bookstore; 5 faculty copies; etc.
(Has the manual been authorized and
signed?)

4) Printing Department will process the
request as per requisition instruc-
tions. Completed works will be costed
out and shipped to the Surrey Book-
store for final pricing and tagging.

5) Surrey Bookstore will then distribute
the manuals to satellite bookstores,
as per instructions taken from the
printing requisition.

 

 

NOTE:

Allow six (6) weeks (30 working days)
for printing and distribution. Man-
uals received after August 3, 1982,
will not be guaranteed a completion
date for the start of the fall semester.

The Printing Department will give any
assistance it can in helping you to
bring the production of your manual to

a successful conclusion. If you have
any questions, please contact the Print-
ing Department at Locals 12 & 21, Newton,
Campus.

SIGN LANGUAGE

Many people think of fingerspelling

when they hear the term "sign language”.
Fingerspelling is merely a manual alpha-
bet, a presentation of English in a vis- |
ual-manual form, just as the Morse Code >
is an aural medium for presenting Eng-
lish. Neither fingerspelling nor the {
Morse Code constitute a language, but

a method of conveying a language.

The two sign languages used most often |
by North American deaf people are Sig-
lish and Ameslan. Siglish, with the aid
of fingerspelling, puts signs together
in the same order as English. It repre-
sents signed English.

Ameslan comes from the words American
Sign Language. It does not follow the
English grammatical structure thus ma-
king it wholly different language from
English. Ameslan is the form of sign
language. generally used by the deaf com |
munity.

Since both Siglish and Ameslan use iden-j|
tical signs, confusion often arises. |
They share the sam@ sign-language, but
use a different sign-order.
