REFERENCE CENTER CATALOG KANSAS DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE AND PARKS 512 SE 25TH AVE. PRATT, KS 67124 (620) 672-0751 [email protected] Dear Reference Library User, We are pleased to announce that we have made a major change in the way we serve our users. We have organized our materials into kits that cover specific topics, such as “Kansas’ Day,” “Birds,” “Insects,” and “Weather.” This eliminates the need to “hunt” through the entire catalog to find materials on a specific topic. The new catalog will reflect this change. There are 55 study kits each containing a complete listing and description of all the resources within the study kit. Several popular topics such as “Birds,” for example, are subdivided into subtopics: “Birds of Prey,” “Predator Birds,” “Bird Houses and Feeders,” and “Birds - General.” Included with each kit is a list of additional resources which can be obtained from the Wildlife Education Service section. An order form is included with each kit. With the number and variety of resources available per kit, sharing the resources with other educators should be more convenient. There is an appendix listing the “Education Standards” being met through the utilization of the kit’s resources. An additional appendix estimates the UPS shipping cost for returning the kits. We encourage users to utilize UPS for returning the kits to take advantage of their free $100 insurance policy. Because there will only be 1-3 kits per topic area, we suggest you give us a three to four weeks notice for receiving your kit. It is also important to return the kits by their due date to avoid a backlog for the kit. To avoid possible delays in handling and shipping we are requesting you consider the following suggestions: 1. Ensure that the video and DVD players you use are in good working order. 2. Use the provided inventory checklist to insure all the resources are being returned. 3. Securely fasten the tops of the shipping container with the provided plastic strips. 4. The reverse side of the shipping label should be utilized when returning the materials. Use the enclosed order form or call (620) 672-0751 or email [email protected] to obtain the desired kit(s).
