Educational Resource Library Guidelines

The Educational Resource Library is a resource which can be used by all AOEC members. The materials we have gathered to date include peer reviewed modules, slides (both outlined talks and collections illustrating work processes, potential exposures, etc.), presentations, curriculum guides, fact sheets, and videotapes.

We are actively soliciting additional materials for the Educational Resource Library. If you are interested in developing materials for the library or if you would like to donate already developed materials please contact the AOEC office. We can provide funding for material development and duplication.

The following rental guidelines are intended to help maximize the availability of the materials to all AOEC members:

1) Lending Library materials will be available to all individual and clinic AOEC members and under the following conditions:

• materials are to be used for educational purposes only and listed authors should be acknowledged when materials are used.

• slides and videos may not be used for other purposes (i.e. brochures, books) without the express written consent of the donor

• slides and videos may be reproduced if they are used in accordance with points (a) and (b)

2) Materials can be requested by phone, mail, or fax, but we suggest audio-visual rental materials be requested by calling the AOEC office in order to check on availability.

3) If you plan to pay for the rental with a check from your institution, we request that you give us a purchase order number when placing your order.

4) In general, A-V materials will be loaned to AOEC members for 3 weeks including shipping time. Depending on availability, please call the AOEC office if you would like to extend your rental period.
