Q: I am applying for admission to the Ontario Professional Foresters Association.  I have already submitted a transcript, but they also require course descriptions for courses taken.

Are these available online? If not can I borrow old calendars through inter-library loan? I was in the Master of Pest Management program in the department of Biological Sciences in the late 1980s; my courses were taken from 1985-1987.

Thank you for your help.
Which library?  Bennett (SFU Burnaby Mountain)

A: Thanks for your email.

Q: I completed my PhD thesis in 2010 and submitted all of the appropriate forms to have it added to the thesis repository. I also had the understanding that it would be submitted to the federal government's thesis repository. Apparently, however, the government has no record of the thesis being submitted and they suggested I contact SFU to inquire. I completed my PhD in Archaeology in 2010 (defense; 2011 graduation). My thesis title is: "Spatial Analysis and Predictive Modelling of Clandestine Graves from Rearguard Repression of the Spanish Civil War".

Q: I'd like to encourage the library to re-design its web site and specifically its search page. I have no idea what sort of researcher the current page is designed for, but it is certainly not me. I generally go to the library site because I have some specific source in mind and am trying to find it or, in the case of electronic journals, gain access to it, but the current site seems to be trying to be a mini-google but where the algorithm that runs it bears only the most tangential relation to the request.
