Student Chapter Conducts HFES International Book Project.

    January, 2000. The UCF Student Chapter has agreed to organize the HFES International Book Project. This project takes donated books in the Human Factors and Ergonomics fields and sends them to libraries around the world where they are available to students of Human Factors and Ergonomics who otherwise would not have access to such specialized publications.
    The UCF Chapter is the pipeline which processes the donated materials and sends them overseas. At present, eleven libraries around the world have received books through this program, and four more libraries have been identified. The first shipment of donated materiels have been processed by UCF volunteers and is expected to be sent out shortly.
    If you would like to volunteer to assist in this project, contact UCF Student Chapter President Jim Hitt.
