First-Aid Kits
----------------------------------------------------

Dear all,

Below is the new Guidelines to borrowing First Aid Kits, issued by the First Aid Club.

Please remember that the emergency cases should really be emergencies and not just because they forgot to apply for it.

GUIDELINES TO BORROWING FIRST AID KITS

In lieu of recent happenings, the first aid club has decided to keep some of the kits due to irresponsible borrowing.

1) We will keep 3 kits (K1, K2, and K3). These are fully stocked kits. To borrow these kits for ANY EVENTS, you will have to

a) Apply for them 2 days prior to the event. The application form can be obtained from Aznah, in the SSD Department OR from the SRC.

b) Once filled, please return the forms to Aznah.

We will process the forms and hand out the kits personally to you.

2) However, in cases of EMERGENCY, there will be 2 other kits in the SAD Store Room. These kits are stocked with the bare necessities for any emergency cases. To borrow these kits, you have to

a) Inform Aznah.

b) Write down your details in this Log Book.

c) As soon as the emergency is dealt with, RETURN THE KITS.

We are very sorry for the inconveniences caused, but this is the only way where we can accurately track down the kits, and their borrowers.

Any inquiries should be directed to: imufirstaidclub@gmail.com

Thank you.

Warmest regards,
Zia Shah
President SRC BJ 09/10

Dear All,

The Centre for Medical Education (CtME), with the assistance of the Learning Resources Dept, has scheduled a continuing series of lunchtime educational sessions in support of advancing e-learning and use of digital resources at IMU.

RSS Description
"In this learning session, we will explore RSS (Real Simple Syndication) and RSS Readers, and see how we can utilize them to facilitate our own learning more efficiently and effectively. RSS is basically a web page with a .xml file type that can be subscribed to and read by a RSS reader (aggregator). The RSS reader will find the new content and display it when it becomes available. In essence, by using RSS new content will come to you, instead of you having to visit the site, or search for it. It will save you an infinite amount of time."

As its on a first come basis, please register early to ensure a place in the learning session. If you miss a session, visit the E-Learning Innovation Centre in http://www.elearning.imu.edu.my to find the appropriate presentations and learning resources.
