New Course Proposals (update). 

....... 

The Natural Resources Management Program currently has a Tourism 

and Recreation Planning course, MRM 648-5. Since Professor Alison. Gill 

joined the university in September 1985, it has become clear that the 

subdivision of this course into two components would be more appropriate 

for the needs of our graduate students. Accordingly, I propose to split 

the existing MRM 648 into two courses: 

MRM 647-5 ? 

Parks and Outdoor Recreation 

MRM 648-5 ? 

Tourism 

Would you kindly consider the attached new course proposals at 

the next meeting of the Faculty of Applied Sciences Graduate Studies 

Committee.

have

a)

MRM 648-5 

?

Tourism 

b)

MRM

647-5 ? 

Parks 

and Outdoor 

Recreation Planning 

with respect to the existing collection and to current acquisi- 

tions policies. 

Each of those courses reoresents research interests which 

had already existed from other disciplinary perspectives and, as 

such, does not burden the Library with any significant new coll- 

ections, obligations. The existing profiles which define our 

accessions of current English language publications include full 

coverage of the travel and tourism industries and recreational 

areas management with particular emphasis on parks and forests. 

We supplement this routinely with purchase of appropriate provin- 

cial and federal government documents as well as publications of 

such international agencies as the Organization for Economic 

Cooperation and Development's Tourism Committee. 

These profiles have beer in place for some years and 

the collection would appear to be adequate for the initial imple- 

mentation of these courses. Any new or existing course creates 

an on-going obligation for support and maintenance but I see no 

evidence that these particular courses would entail any extra- 

ordinary funding. ?
