Access, continued So far it has spent $225,337, and has

$74,292 in orders out, which translates into 4219 volumes purchased or ordered.

An approval plan, in which a vendor sends books according to subject to approve or reject, is working relatively well, according to librarian Judy Inouye. “We’re still sending back about 20 percent though. It should be around five percent. We’ll be narrowing down the profiles a bit.”

In periodicals, around 200 new titles have been ordered, which necessitated a major reshelving job at both campuses in the summer.

Simon Fraser University has agreed to provide some support, but only for courses being offered with SFU. The support includes 500 free inter-library book loans, 100 video loans, online access to the Social Science and Humanities index, and an online interlibrary loan system.

Education

The Education subcommittee is still Striving to provide teacher training at UCFYV, based on the SFU professional development program model. Funding for teacher training has not been approved yet by the Ministry of Advanced Education. It would be separate from funding already approved for other degree programs.

The Ministry study on teacher supply and demand projections has not been completed yet.

“We would like to start offering some education courses, which would help current students who plan to transfer elsewhere for their training,” said subcommittee chair Erling Close.

Plans are to offer elementary teacher training first, then add the secondary level.

Dean of Continuing Education Susan Witter has also expressed interest in developing a Bachelor of Adult _ Education, which would appeal to - vocational and CE instructors, and offer recognition of prior learning experience.

Leadership book praised by peers

Transforming Leadership: New Skills for an Extraordinary Future is the title of Criminal Justice instructor Terry Anderson’s new book, published by Human Resource Development Press, with a forward by Gerard Egan.

The book provides current and potential leaders with the knowledge, skills and tools to become more effective agents of positive change within their organization.

“Leadership is a relationship which can be developed and strengthened only when leaders possess the competence and caring to interact effectively and respectfully with others. No one understands this better than Terry Anderson. His book not only offers the direction and the road map for the leadership development journey, but gives us the supplies and nourishment to thrive along the way,” says Jim Kouzes, president of TPG/Learning Systems, a company in the Tom Peters Group, and co-author of The Leadership Challenge.

Transforming Leadership is the ninth publication that Anderson has authored or co-authored. | |

Criminal Justice program head Darryl Plecas is an advocate of Anderson’s work:

“I’m not sure that people at UCFV realize just how highly respected and widely used Terry’s work is by organizations around the world. It has been widely used in the training and development of both front-line workers and senior executives inside and outside of the criminal justice system for years. What I admire about Terry’s work to date is that it is a set of truly integrated works, the latest of which evolved step-wise from his first work — very few academics (in any discipline) have been able to do that. In terms of his new book Transforming Leadership, I think the assessment by Ken Blanchard (co-author of The One Minute Manager) sums it up. He says that it ‘is a must read for anyone who wants to make a difference in the future.’”

Transforming Leadership is slated to be used as the primary text in the Crim. department’s new course Leadership in Organizations and Groups, to be offered for the first time in the fall of ’93.
