Children's books about Native American people and culture also will be included. More information about the library exhibits can be found online.

Deadline for scheduling distance education announced
The WONDER consortium requires that any summer, fall or spring 2004-05 offering utilizing the WONDER technology be submitted by Dec. 1. WONDER offerings must originate from a distance education classroom or conference room (OL 1130). For these reasons it is necessary to implement an earlier UW-Eau Claire deadline for receipt of summer, fall or spring 2004-05 requests for scheduling of the distance education classrooms. The deadline is Nov. 26.

Any requests for offerings that utilize WONDER must be submitted by that date. Although requests to use the rooms for other delivery methods still will be accepted after that date, the room already may be scheduled for WONDER. (Therefore, if you plan to offer a course of any type in one of the distance education classrooms, you may wish to submit your request before Nov. 26.)

If you have questions about scheduling a distance education course, contact Andrea Jones at jonesas@uwec.edu or 836-2424.

Program for social workers and counselors to be offered
UW-Eau Claire Continuing Education will sponsor two programs for social workers, counselors and human service professionals on Wednesday, Dec. 3. The programs will deal with the emergence of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, including The Privacy Standards and other requirement standards that will affect ethical and client boundary issues for all human service professionals.
