I’ve Heard These Complaints That People
Don’t Work at School. I'd Say There are Good
Reasons Why A lot Of People Choose To Work
At Home Or Pay A 100 Bucks For a Private
Studio. Everyone Complains About Cramped
Space At School — The School That Takes in
Everyone Who Wants To Come To It, Then
Trys To Compensate By Renting Dingy Practi-
cally Unusable old WareHouses As Work Space.

Working in Shifts is The Other Way of Deal-
ing With Overcrowding. Some Come Early in
The Morning, Some Work After 5, Some Work
(in Their Minds) The School Functioning
Monday Through Friday From 8 until 4:30
When They Go Home For Cocktails.

So We have our Ridiculous Security System
— Waiting For An Appointed Time To Be
Granted Entrance At Smithe & Water Streets.
And At Dunsmuir, Hunting Out A UniGuard
To Open A Door and Then Finding It Locked
If You Go To The Bathroom. And of Course
Everyone Everywhere out By Midnight. Our
Latest Classic Example Was over Christmas
Holidays When Dunsmuir Was open Intermi-
tently For But 4 Days — Days only. Try To
Keep Up A Rhythm of Working? These Condi-
tions, The Administration Says, Are Foisted on
Them By VVI and The Other Landlords.

Actually These Conditions Are A Result
Of The Administration’s Attitudes. Doug Weir,

Who Gives The Distinct Impression That his:

faculty Would Function So Much More Effi-
ciently If There Were No Students in The Way
Can’t Deny That. Tom Hudson Who always
Has Visions of Saving Money in His Eyes, Tom
Kowell, Nice Guy/Yes Man.

Security is A Necessity — I'll Admit It —
But | Think Access To Studios is More Impor-
tant. At one Time Tom Hudson Used To
Actually Say He Wanted The New School
open 24 Hour A Day. He Won’t Say That Any
More. The Grand Philosophy That Has Always
Run This School is ‘‘How Much Money?”’. Do
You Know Why The Administration Didn't
Bitch Too Loudly over ‘‘Emily Carr College of
Art?” It Was in The Millions.

Again, What is the Resource Workshop?

All This Noise Surfaced Last Term Over
Fom Hudson Doing The Resource Workshops
on Wednesday Afternoons. Part of His Response
Printed in the X was (and | quote for once)
“These support lectures will be completed this
semester; the whole of the second semester is
devoted to external visistors, artists, designers,
editors, authors etc.””

Hugh Foulds Has Given The First 3 Re-
source Workshops This Term. Nothing Personal
Against Hugh Foulds, We Hear The Workshops
Were Well Received. But Again Aren’t Resource
Workshops For Visiting Artists? Can’t A Staff
Member Give His Class in Regular Classes?
Tom? Sam?

The last time we met I suggested you learn to find
information in the library on your own, it’s quicker.
One of the keys to this information is the card cata-
logue. For every book on the shelves at least three
nearly identical 3x5 cards are created. The card cata-
logue is a cabinet filled with drawers designed to hold
these 3x5 cards. Each of the three cards per book is
filed in a different part of the catalogue, either by a) the
last name of the author, b) the first word of the
title, or c) the subject covered by the book. Thus
you can get to any book in the collection by one of
these three routes. For example, if you want books
on Printmaking you may look under that heading. If
you want all the books we hold by E.M. Gombrich
you check the file under Gombrich. If you want
Gombrich’s Art and Illusion you look under Art and
Illusion or under Gombrich.

When you have located an author or title by these
methods you only need copy the letter-number combi-
nations from the upper left corner of the card.; fis
block of letters and numbers is the call number.
Each title has its own unique call number.

The books are arranged on the shelves in groups,
alphabetically by the first letter(s) in the call number.
Our collection has books whose call numbers range
from A-Z reflecting the scope of a collection needed to
support the study of the visual arts. However, the bulk
of the collection is shelved under the N’s. That is,
the call numbers will start with N or N plus another
letter, as:

N or ND
7468 643
.B4 a3
1976 W45

The order of the books on the shelves within the
letter divisions is alphabetic according to the second
letter (if there is one) of the call number. Thus, all the
call numbers with just the letter N at the top will
come before those numbers headed with NA, and
these come before the NB numbers, and so forth. The
order of books within these basic subdivisions is
numerical, according to the number found immediately

The Student Society is Planning To Conduct
An Evaluation of The Faculty of Emmy Carr.
It Will Be Done Much Like Last Year’s —
A Questionnaire Passed'out Later This Month;
Completed and Handed in During Class. The
Results Will Be Tabulated & Published in Book
Form By The End of The School Year. The
Questionnaire Will Be A Slight Variation on
Last Year's.

We Hope For Everyone’s Support On
This Project. Teachers — That They Won’‘t
Feel Threatened Being Evaluated By Their
Students. We Hope They Will Be Willing To
Give Us Some Of Their Class Time To Do The
Questionnaire. Most of All We Need Student
Support, in Filling Out The Forms. You Can‘t
Really Pay Attention To The Results When
They’re Only From 4 students out of A Class
of 25.

Please Come To School The Week The
Questionnaires Will Be Out — And Please Try
To Fill in One For Every Teacher You’ve
Had This Year.

Thanks & Stay Tuned

Please keep in mind that books are housed on three
foot shelves and each module of three foot shelves is
to be considered as a unit. One ‘reads’ these units from
left to right, and from top to bottom to find the alpha-
betic and numeric order.

Although our small collection is easily searched,
even by first time users, it is worth remembering that
this same cataloguing system is used by most univer-
sity and college libraries in North America. Therefore
the same title in our collection and in the libraries of
the U.B.C. or the University of Toronto should have
the same call number. Although many libraries are
changing their card catalogue to automated techniques,
the principles of searching and shelving remain the
same. You should feel at home in any library once you
have become familiar with the library system of
cataloguing and shelving.

Public libraries, on the other hand, use a different
method of cataloguing books. The call numbers of
public library collections are just that; basically numeri-
cal in appearance, as,

720.6

W478

Hi
Books on the visual arts in public library collections in
North America have a 700 number on the top line;
the books are shelved in numerical order.

The other main source of information in libraries
is magazines. How one copes with these items will
be discussed in a later issue.
