Expert advice on everything from E-Marketing to Virtual World Design and Civil Engineering through to Welding Techniques is now just a click away, thanks to a new online, searchable directory.
The College Book of Experts – www.collegebookofexperts.org – provides users with the names of faculty experts from across Ontario. The site is searchable by college name, area of expertise, or by using an individual’s name.
“There is a lot of expertise available for commentary, insight and information right here at Loyalist College,” said Maureen Piercy, Loyalist College President. “We are extremely proud of our faculty members and want to share their knowledge wherever and whenever possible.”
With just a couple of clicks, journalists can immediately determine who to speak with on a particular issue. Simply search away, and find the person you need – or a great story idea – within seconds.
Ontario’s public college system has more than 200 campuses and satellite locations across the province, serving every size of community. There are about 7,000 full-time and 12,000 part-time faculty members at the colleges.
Ontario’s colleges offer courses in more than 600 program areas. The scope of subjects taught has expanded enormously since the college system was established more than 40 years ago.
“We knew there was a need for this site because there is so much going on at our College, and so many people to tell the many stories,” said President Piercy. “The College Book of Experts will provide one-stop shopping.”
