Please read them through carefully. FIRE ALARM EVACUATION PROCEDURES AND INSTRUCTIONS 1. The sounding of the Fire Alarm Bells throughout the building requires all persons to immediately vacate the building in an orderly manner. Whether the alarm is real, or a drill, it must be acted upon immediately and in the same manner. 2. Do not use elevators. 3. All instructors and supervisory personnel are divided into two groups with the largest group assuming the responsibility of leading the students and general public in their area to the assigned building exit and clear of the exit and building. The other group of instructors and supervisory personnel is responsible for the checking of each area to assure that all washrooms, classrooms and shops are empty and that all equipment and machinery are shut down and see that all doors and windows are closed. The FSD or his delegate shall receive reports from each area confirming that it is cleared. 4. The premises may not be re-entered before the Fire Chief or his delegate gives the all clear signal. This consists of three short bursts of the fire alarm and until these are heard the building must remain empty. 5. Handicapped persons who cannot negotiate stairs on their own should be left in the stairway with another person, and their location reported to the Fire Safety Director or the Deputy fire Safety Director. ¦ ,, " 1 / VVI LIBRARY REPORT FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 1986/87 1986/87 was an extremely busy year for the VVI Library as we experienced dramatic increases in the use of our collections and services, added several new areas of service, and developed a stronger library education and instruction program. Our collections size (print and non-print) grew from 22,135 to 23,293 items over the year - a 5.2% increase. The circulation of materials increased by 26.7% over the year, from 35,948 items checked out in 1985/86 to 45,582 in 1986/87. This high turnover (the equivalent of each item having been checked out twice during the year) indicates the usefulness of the materials we hold and the need to add more items which are in demand. Two new services - the circulation of CEIC textbooks, and the microcomputer lab, completed their first full year of operation in the VVI Library. We processed about 5,000 CEIC textbook loans during the year. The computer lab saw 4,522 users. Other services, such as centralized copyright clearance requests, computerized literature searches, interlibrary loans, periodicals routing, and reserve book processing, have all shown increased demand. We answered more than 10,000 reference questions during the year and conducted 157 library orientation talks and class sessions. In an effort to enhance the appropriate use of the library by students, and to increase their knowledge of library research skills, we have become more involved in actual instruction in the use of the library. During the past year we have conducted classes in library research followed by a library skills assignment which new students in many of the business, health, and technical programs have completed. This has resulted in an appreciable increase in the knowledge and use of the library by our students, while also placing heavier demands on the librarians' time. The VVI Library's hours of operation, at 67.5 hours per week, are extensive by comparison with most libraries. This necessitates very careful scheduling of a small staff (6 full-time and 3 part-time people) to conduct a wide variety of professional and non-professional services. I am extremely grateful for the strong support and dedication to their work shown by each of the library's faculty and staff members. Their task has become more difficult as new programs and services are launched. We are pleased with the support we have received from the campus over the past year. The addition of two computer terminals linked to the Prime Computer has been a major benefit. The monies that we have received to start up collections for new programs have also been vital to our 1ibrary. The major areas of concern, as we advance into another year of what appears again to show increasing activity levels, are our staffing levels and our collections support. We are in serious need of more clerical support to process CEIC, periodical, and other loan materials. Our professional complement should be increased to two full-time faculty members, in order to meet the instruction and collection development goals of the campus and the library. As more new programs are added to the campus, additional streams of students are added to existing programs, and the technologies that we teach change and develop, our collections must see commensurate growth and development. During the current year we are looking forward to the provision of an online public access catalogue to the VCC library holdings. For this and other innovations and services we need the ongoing support of the VVI campus management.
