In order to accommodate the continuous growth of the Dixson Library’s
collection, an annual relegation and disposal program is conducted in accordance
with procedures approved through the Academic.
This program includes provision for appropriate consultation on the campus.
Academic departments have the opportunity of reviewing material identified for
culling, after which the remaining material is offered for sale at modest prices.
This year the Library has available for review a range of material, chiefly
dated and duplicate volumes, from the areas of technology, applied science and
agriculture, the social sciences, and some materials removed from the Reference
Collection. There is also some duplicated material from the education area of
the former Newling Library’s collection.
This material is available for examination by representatives of academic departments
and other University bodies from Monday, 4 February to Thursday, 28 March, 2002.
The Library considers carefully all requests for return of volumes to the Dixson
collections, or transfers to departmental collections, while retaining final
responsibility for the decisions made.
Appointments are essential and can be arranged by contacting the Library’s Collection Services Librarian on extn 3750.

Would you like to work as a language teacher in Japan?
An opportunity exists for members of our Community to work as assistant language
teachers in the City of Kanuma, Japan, with which Armidale Dumaresq Council
has a friendship agreement. The University of New England has also signed a
Memorandum of Understanding with Kanuma to assist in the recruitment of language
teachers.
Kanuma is a community of around 94,000 people located approximately 100 kilometres
north of Tokyo, in Tochigi Prefecture. Kanuma’s major economic activities
include agriculture (rice and fruit production), flower propagation and timber-related
industries, as well as a range of enterprises and service industries befitting
a City of its size.
Kanuma has enjoyed a special relationship with the Armidale District since
1995 when initial links were forged between Kanuma City Council, the former
Dumaresq Shire Council. Duval High School has subsequently hosted regular visits
from student groups from Kanuma. A former resident of Armidale Dumaresq is currently
employed by Kanuma’s Board of Education as an Assistant Language Teacher.
You must be a graduate in any field or qualified teacher in order to apply
and be interested in Japanese society. Candidates must be fit, possess excellent
English skills and sufficient Japanese to conduct everyday life in Kanuma. You
must also be prepared to adapt to living in Japan and to be an ambassador for
Armidale Dumaresq in an overseas Community with which we have a friendship agreement.
If you are interested in these exciting opportunities, please contact Margaret
Schumacher at Armidale Dumaresq Council on telephone (02) 6770 3556 or email
mschumacher@armidale.nsw.gov.au, or Ruth Nicholls at the School of Education
Studies, UNE on telephone (02) 6773 3840 or email rnicholl@metz.une.edu.au.
They can supply information packages including full details of eligibility criteria
and terms and conditions for employment. Formal applications, which will be
collated by the University and Council, for forwarding on to Kanuma City Board
of Education, must address each of the eligibility criteria in turn and include
a current curriculum vitae.
Written applications marked “Confidential - Assistant Language Teacher
- City of Kanuma, Japan - Reference 65/30138” will be received up until
5.00pm, Tuesday, 12 March 2002. Applications must address the Selection Criteria,
