Thank you for this information.

Enjoy a glorious year,

At 6:45pm on January 4, 2011, Deena Samii said…: Hi Jacky! Thank you for talking about our bookloan program, that is really exciting! We're working on improving and expanding, I'll send you updates once in a while if that would be useful.

Last year Nicole Allen helped us in promoting open-textbooks and the information you share has helped me so much in teaching faculty about open-textbooks. Since we met, I've become obsessed with open-textbooks :) and promoting them is a fun role our program is incorporating into every semester.

Cheers and I hope you have a very fulfilling 2011 :)
