31 have been extended by six months to allow the review process to be completed. Sonja Alton, Roger Jones, Michael Milner, Trudy Montgomery and Penny Parry

have had their terms extended to January 31, 2002.

¢ Thank you and farewell to Len Millis, faculty

representative, who completed his three year term and

Dennis Lancien, student representative, who completed

his one year term, effective August 31. Welcome to their replacements Susan Ashcroft, faculty, and Edward Inoue, student, effective September 1, 2001. To round out the Board, the continuing members are Gwen Chute, Sandra Boyle, Harbinder Kainth Jassal, Brenda Kearns, Brenda Pickard (elected staff representative), Catherine Willems

Briefly

Babies and brides Proud Grandmother Kathleen Wallden of Child, Family and Community Studies is happy to announce the birth of her first grandchild, Matthew Alexander Kasper, on August 4th, weighing 8lbs

4ozs. Congratulations!

Heather Scott of the Foundation delivered her second son, Eric Cameron Scott, August | at 11:59am. It was reportedly a fast and furious labour, with Heather and husband Jeff making it to the hospital just in time (she almost gave birth in the hallway). Weighing in at 6lbs 150z, Eric is a little brother for Cairan, their two year old son. Incidentally, Heather delivered on her due date, which prompted Karen Esau of the Foundation to remark “I think she must have put this on her TO DO list in her daytimer for August Ist!”

Mike Proud of Finance has an appropriate name for this occasion: he is the proud daddy of baby daughter Olivia who entered the world Saturday, August 4 and weighed in at 8 lbs.

Congratulations!

Jen Whitlock of the Registrar's Office had a

baby boy named Benjamin Matthew Whitlock on July 3, weighting 8 lbs 3 ozs, while Lita Cole, also of the Registrar’s Office (CE), gave birth to son Eamon on July 18, weighting 9 lbs

2ozs. Congratulations!

Library offers cure for information anxiety

Help students cope with new-semester stress by giving them the tools they need for academic success. The Library’s Instructional Program, designed to help reduce the symptoms of information anxiety, teaches students how to search for information, obtain copies of desired

materials and think critically about the results of their

research. They'll also learn to understand when

information is required, what kind of information is needed, where to find it and what to make of it, resulting in better term papers. See http://library.douglas.bc.ca/ instruct-html#Top for more details on the Program.

For more information, including custom designed

assignments tailored to course research projects, contact Sandra Hochstein at hochsteins@douglas.be.ca. To

schedule an instructional session at the New Westminster or David Lam Campus, please contact Jannine Grant at grantj@douglas.bc.ca. To discuss research skills instruction for Thomas Haney or Distance Education students, please contact Mary Matthews at matthewsm@douglas.be.ca
