Proposals 

?

Date: October 2, 1987 

An opportunity to secure funding from an external agency to 

teach introductory courses in Japanese language has made it 

possible to put forward academic approval. I asked Ed 

Coihoun to coordinate the academic development of these 

courses and I am forwarding them to the FACC for 

consideration.

Beginning language courses usually present few 

problems for the Library and these appear to be no 

exception to that rule. However, the presence of 

these courses in the curriculum will undoubtedly 

lead to requests for,at least, modest bibliographic 

and reference materials in Japanese. 

At the present time there is no one on the 

Library staff capable of working with Japanese 

language materials.
