GREAT L Lgs EDUCATION MATERIAL DIRECTORY of GREAT LARES EDUCATION MA!Z'!ERW DIBmmOF GREAT L_lgS EDUCATION MATERIAL DIRECTORY OF GREAT LARES EDUCATION MA!Z'!ERW Published by the Great Lakes Scknce Advisory Board International Joint Commission 1987; reprinted 1988; 1989 Welcome to the third edition of the Dimdory of Gmat Laks Education Materid. lhis pr+d began in 1984, when the Science Advieory Board's Socioeconomics Subcommittee surveyed sevaral hundred educatore and producers of educational programe to determine what matenials they fbund moet ueeful in teaching others about the Great Lakee. The goal of the eurvey wae to deternine wht items were available, and which were used moet often for variow eubject areae and gxwlw. Resub of thie survey were tabulated, and a followup questionnaire was eent in early 1987 to update ~e- eponeee to produce the first edition of thie directory. The eecond edition in 1988 included minor updates to the lietinge. To produce this latest edition, more than 600 educators were emeyed to determine whether there hae been an increase in the type and amount of materials available on the Great Lakes, ae well ae the frequency with which teachers are using these materials. What we found ie encouraging. First, more information is being produced. The wide variety of pamphlets, technical reparts and booklets available from government agencies, environmental organizations and scientific bodies continues to expand, and teachem still find thie information ueeful in developing their own educa- tional progxame. Second, thie information d materiale written epecifically for the educational eetting are getting into teachere' hande more quickly, and &om a wider variety of eourcee. The survey responees hopefully show that greater marketing efforts are being expended to get Great Lakee materiale into the claesroorn, and that teachers are eeebing out information on the lakee more than they were even two wars ago. The focue of materiale haa again changed. While moat materials produced in the 19709 were for younger audiences and tended to emphasize geography, history and shipping, booke written in the early 19806 were written for older audiencee and focused on Great Lakes water quality or quantity ieeuee. Since 1985, the emphaeie hae ehifted to younger audiencee -Endergarten through eighth grade, for the moet part - and these new materials are including infowation on how humane affect the ecosystem ae well ae on the lakes themselvee. Videotapes have replaced elide-tape programs and filme as a mGor avenue for inetrudion. Finally, while the number of curriculum-baeed or claeeroom-ready materiale ie increaeing, teachers lieted thie ae the area where Great Lakee materiale are still lacking, particularly thoee which focns on an ecoeyetem approach to management of the Great Lakes. Ae a reeult of what we've learned from the Zateet eurvey and our own interaction with educa- tore, eeveral changee have been made to the directory; theee revisione are highlighted on the next page. Efforte are still needed to encourage etate, provincial and local boards of education to include Great Lakee ieeuee in their curriculume, and to aeeiet educatore ae they develop their own programe based on information from reeource materiale. If we are to preeeme the Great Lakee ecoeystem for the weand enjoyment of future genera- tione, today's young students must learn to appreciate and respect the Great Lakes ae a unique eyetem that provides endleee benefits for its inhabitante. It ie hoped thie directory, and ite future editione, will provide a List of materials for educators to wein accomplishing thie taek. On behalf of the Science Advieory Board, we thank all those who participated in the development of thie direc- tory, by reeponding to our eurveye and providing materiale for inclusion in thie third edition of the Directory of Great Lakes Education Material. Sally Cole-Misch Beverley Croft Public Affairs Oficer Infirmation Officer Great Lakes Regional Ofice Great Lakes Regional Wce International Joint Commission International Joint Commission DIRECTORY OF GREAT LAKES EDUCAlTON MATgRIAL PAGE 111 HOW TO USE THIS BOOK fiethird edition of this directory has been restructured slightly so that educators can more wily locate the type of materials they moat want to use. For example, an alphabetical title index has been added to the beginning of the directory, which identifies materials by the areas each addresses. %ch resource entry ie placed in a category according to its format, from audio-visual to printed form. Materials which were listed in the "Kite"and "Othef sections in previoue directory editions are now in the uInstructional" category, and newspaper supplements and university news- letters about the Great Lakes have been added to the "Periodicals" section. In the latter case, educators pointed to these items as being of particular use in preparing learning units. As much information as possible has been included in each entry: titles, sources, publishing dater, subjects covered, approximate audience level (this is always approximate since all students are not the same), and ISBNIISSN numbers as available. A list of sources from which an educator can receive materiala or additional idormation on the Great Lakes, has also been included. Special notes from the entry sections are included in the sources section as well. While the cost of materials is included, we strongly recommend that the educator inquire about coats, including shipping and handling, when they contact each source. Government agencies that normally produce pamphlets and other materials for distribution free of charge may exact a fee for multiple copies, or for shipping and handling. This directory will be updated biennially. If educators find revisions are necessary in specitic listinge or have additional resources they would like included in the directory,, we would greatly appreciate these comments and suggestions.

The stark assessment has emerged from nearly a decade of meticulous research aimed at understanding how 11 different subsets or "designatable units" of caribou should be listed under the federal Species at Risk Act. Justina Ray, a conservation biologist who co-led the work on behalf of the independent body that advises the government on the status of endangered wildl~fe, said the change in the caribou's fortunes since 2004, the last time such an assessment was completed, is profoundly worrying.
