<p class=MsoPlainText>Dear Students<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>This is an important email.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Are you enrolling in Information Studies 102 (Information
Environment), or Information Studies 302 / 502 (Information Theory &
Research), in semester 2, 2009? YES/NO<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Are you enrolled in the Masters in Information Management
(MIM), undertaking the dual qualification in librarianship AND records
management/archives, AND required to undertake your second practicum before
semester 2, 2009? YES/NO<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>If none of the above, are you intending to complete your
course this year AND have yet to complete your practicum requirements? YES/NO
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>If you answered YES to ANY of the above then you are
required to undertake a two-week (for IS102) or three-week (for all others)
full-time practicum before the start of Semester 2, 2009, normally any time
from mid-June (after exams) until late-July. Students need to make arrangements
for leave from work and/or childcare in order to undertake the practicum within
these time periods. However, there may be some flexibility for exceptional
cases where it is not possible to undertake the practicum full time or during
this time. Please contact the Practicum Coordinator as soon as possible should
you have any queries or concerns regarding these requirements.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Information regarding the practicum placements for
Semester 2, 2009 is available at:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Please read the Practicum Manual very carefully,
particularly the section on 'Procedures for Organising Placements' as this
provides detailed instructions on the application process. You must complete
and return the Practicum Application Form (including a brief CV), the Insurance
Form and the Contact Details spreadsheet. It is important that you read all
instructions carefully and complete and return all forms correctly so as not to
delay the organisation of your placement. Incomplete or incorrect forms will be
returned to you for correction, which may mean missing out on your preferred
placement venue. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Your practicum forms must be returned to me as soon as
possible. The deadline for submission is:<o:p></o:p></p>

The Application Form may be completed electronically as a Word document or completed
in hard copy and then scanned.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Please note: <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>* The Insurance Form must be signed and therefore must be
returned as a scanned copy (if attached to an email), or by post or fax.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>* You must follow the correct procedure for subject lines
of emails and file names of all attachments; this is outlined in the Manual.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>If you wish to apply for an exemption from, or variation
to, the practicum placement based on your work experience, you must submit an
application before Friday May 15, 2009. Please refer to the 'Exemptions and
Variations' section of the Practicum Manual for the criteria and guidelines for
applications. If applying for an exemption, you must enrol in the relevant unit
anyway as there are other coursework requirements to complete.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>If you have concerns about any aspect of your practicum
application, or are unsure whether you need to undertake a practicum, please do
not hesitate to contact me at <a href="mailto:prac.infostud@curtin.edu.au">prac.infostud@curtin.edu.au</a><o:p></o:p></p>
