This week we’ve added a small group of material to the archives of Weston Garnett, a screenwriter, novelist and poet, born in Toronto in 1890 who eventually settled in East Sooke, Vancouver Island. A little research on Weston proves interesting: he was the screenwriter for the 1932 film “White Zombie” which among Zombie aficionados is considered to be the first-ever Zombie movie. Unfortunately, the manuscript for “White Zombie” is not part of his archives here at UBC. We do however have manuscripts of several novels, poetry, and one screenplay co-written with Zelda Sears.
Prof. Janusz Laskowski has just been selected as the recipient of the SME 2010 Antoine M. Gaudin Award. The Gaudin Award is the highest award in the field of Mineral and Metallurgical Processing. The award ceremony will be held in Denver, Colorado, during the SME Annual Meeting (March 2, 2011).

*UPDATE* eJournal records in the Library Catalogue displaying normally again.
Apologies.
ejournal records in the Library Catalogue are appearing as per this:

So, if looking for an ejournal , please use the ejournal A-Z list. If you must search in the Catalogue, search by title for now and don’t panic when results look odd like the above, centre image. Hopefully, all will be back to normal Monday.
Contact us via our Help Form if you have any questions.
