New Discovery at the VPL






Thursday night, I went to the VPL originally planning taking a book out for my project. After arriving to the Social Sciences floor and getting help from the librarians, I was directed to the 4th floor to check out the new section on helping new skilled immigrants find jobs in BC. I was impressed with the amount of work that's put into this project. I talked to Alexis Greenwood, a very nice and enthusiastic librarian who talked to me about her experiences in regards to the project since its lauch in May this year. I explained my grad project to her and mentioned my intention to help and my ambition to push what exists further. She then kindly passed on the card of a librarian who's in charge of the Skilled Immigrant Info Centre for me to contact. Just sent over an e-mail, hopefully I'll hear back soon. Cross my fingers!

Here are some photos of the pamphlets I've got.

Oh, and the VPL librarians rock!

hello Chloe!
I thought this talk might be helpful for you http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/daniel_goleman_on_compassion.html
I haven't finished listening, but so far it is about compassion.
