“Education In-a-Box”: from the J. W. Crane Memorial Library, University of Manitoba Health Sciences Libraries in consultation with the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority, Personal Care Home Program
Recognizing the demands on time for educators in the personal care homes, the WRHA PCH Program Educator and the University of Manitoba’s J. W. Crane Memorial Library’s Outreach Librarian recently initiated the development of the “Education In-a-Box” series. Each box will focus on a topic of interest to staff in personal care homes and will include one or two current videos, printed material, and a list of associated websites and other material, such as books and additional videos available from the library. Additional materials can be ordered from the J. W. Crane Memorial Library by filling out the form included and returning it to the Library.
Educators who request the “Box” have many options for using the included material. For example, they can choose to:
· have a video available for viewing, and have staff sign when they have viewed it
· book a time in their educational calendar to show the video
· suggest that staff read any or all printed material, and sign a sheet indicating that they have read it
· offer copies of the lists of websites and associated materials to any interested staff
We attempt to include material that is practical, easy-to-read and reflects “best practice”. Each personal care home will need to decide which materials best reflect educational needs and practice standards.
Only one “Box” per topic will be created. The loan period will be three weeks, so personal care home staff may have to wait until the “Box” is available.
To request the loan of a “box”, please contact the J. W. Crane Memorial Library by e-mail at , by phone at 831-2152, or by fax at 888-1805.
Please note that some material included in the “Box” has been reproduced by permission from the publisher. If you make multiple copies, you will be infringing Canadian copyright law and be subject to prosecution. Because copyright law allows individuals one copy of material for their own use, staff may request a copy of articles, book chapters, etc. by filling out the form provided.
An evaluation form is included with the material. Please help us improve the series by filling out and returning the form.
Sincerely,
Laurie Blanchard, Outreach Librarian, J. W. Crane Memorial Library, University of Manitoba Health Sciences Libraries

Video
See me. Irvine, Calif. : ConceptMedia, 2001. DVD (10 min.)
Suggested by a poem of an unknown author, this film urges the viewer to see the individuality - the talents, the rich family history, and the ageless person - residing inside the lined faces and time-worn bodies of the elderly. For adult caregivers, students of lifespan human development, and anyone in the helping professions. Deals with attitudes to aging.
