A Great Community Partner

second year Capilano College Graphic Design and Illustration student, Erica
Phelps, stand in front of the Chamber’s new logo, which Erica designed. The
West Vancouver Chamber of Commerce also announced at its annual
Christmas party a new $500 award to be presented to an outstanding student
in the Commerce program at Capilano College. The student must intend to
transfer to the UBC Commerce School.

Volunteers Needed for On-Line
Internet Research Courses

ibrarians Maureen Witney and

Annette Lorek have developed
two on-line courses on using the
Internet for research, which will soon
be offered to students. In order to beta-
test these courses, a test run will take
place beginning late February. The
course developers are looking for
volunteers among College employees
who would like to increase their
knowledge in this area.

Collectively called “Research in the
Virtual Library,” these courses will be
delivered using Netscape software, a
World Wide Web site to provide course
materials, and e-mail for assignments
and instructor feedback. They may also
be testing on-line conferencing
software for class discussions and
sharing of on-line discoveries.

The first course is basic and includes

an introduction to the Internet, how to
use Netscape, Netscape Mail, and
Netscape News, subscribing to on-line
discussion lists and Usenet groups, and
basic Web searching techniques.

The second course is an advanced
research course featuring in-depth
instruction in more sophisticated aspects
of using Netscape, downloading and
using plug-ins, accessing file archives
and downloading files, and exploring
advanced use of search engines.

Take this opportunity to begin your
Internet explorations (course 1) or to
hone your Internet research skills (course
2), as well as to provide valuable
feedback to your colleagues. Please
contact Annette (2143) or Maureen
(2141) in the Library to volunteer, or
learn more about the courses.
