MS Office XP for employees
MS Office XP and MS Windows XP Operating System is available for purchase by College employees. The same policies apply to these CDs as those on reserve, ie: they are only for home use and only for employees. For the time being they are available at CLS but plans include transferring the selling responsibilities to the bookstore. The Office XP package is $5 and the Operating System is $7. Older editions are still available on Reserve in the Library. No information about MAC versions as yet.

Students Borrowing from SFU
Douglas College students require nothing more than a valid student photo ID card in order to borrow directly from SFU. Many have been told that they require a COPPUL card. Douglas College is not a member of COPPUL, nor is it eligible to become a member. We have a separate agreement with SFU on a one year trial to extend reciprocal borrowing privileges to our students. Carole is sending a message to her contact at SFU asking him to make sure his staff are up to date on this issue.
Fraser River Initiative
Reciprocal Borrowing with Simon Fraser University, University College of the Fraser Valley, Kwantlen University College and Douglas College
Background
At a meeting of the directors of Kwantlen College, Douglas College, University College of the Fraser Valley and Simon Fraser University last Spring a decision was taken to allow reciprocal borrowing for Faculty, Students and Staff at these institutions. These privileges were to be implemented in the Fall of 2004.
Who is eligible?
Current Faculty, Students and Staff at these institutions.
Reciprocal borrowing privileges are NOT extended to Alumni or Extra-mural Borrowers.
Verification of eligibility
You must present a current Douglas College Identification Card when you apply to receive a library card with one of our reciprocal borrowing partners.
Restrictions on Use
Reciprocal borrowing privileges are extended to all circulating items in the collections with the exception of the following:
- Audiovisual materials (videos, DVDs, slides, audio-tapes, etc.)
- Reserve materials
- Laptops
- Audio visual equipment
People holding reciprocal borrowing privileges will be able to make use of most library services. However they will not have access to:
- Interlibrary Loans
- Off campus access to electronic resources
Duration
This is a one year pilot project beginning September 1, 2004 and ending August 31, 2005.
Prior to the termination of the pilot project it will be reviewed and a decision will be made whether or not to continue with reciprocal borrowing.
Please contact me if you have any questions.
Thanks Carole

ERIC fulltext
To retrieve fulltext journal articles in ERIC, turn on the Fulltext limiter, and the only fulltext that will be retrieved will be journal articles (fulltext documents are not included at this time, but Ebsco is working on a fix).
To get fulltext documents, do not limit to fulltext. Change JOURNAL OR DOCUMENT to read DOCUMENTS. Most of what you retrieve should be fulltext, as basically all ED (ERIC documents) are now in fulltext as a result of a policy change at ERIC.

Scanners for students
Both campuses have a scanner available for student use in the Student Media Centres that are part of CLS, located beside room 3100 at NW and in room B1251 at Coq.
A self-serve system using wall calendars is in place. At NW, students go to room 3100 to book use of the scanner but they can drop in if there is no prior booking. If a student wants to use the NW scanner after 4:30 or on Saturday, s/he can go to Security and Security will allow use of the room after presentation of a current student card. The scanner is for course related use.
