The Webmaster
Reports of problems with the web site, and suggestions for additional
information to be posted there (not including suggestions re
so-called "search engine optimization"), may be emailed to
Ted
Powell.
Please note that this address is not intended as
a general point of contact for the Institute.
-
I am not privy to contact information for current or past speakers.
-
I cannot predict whether upcoming speakers will be available for
interviews.
-
I cannot predict whether a transcript of a particular talk will be made
available by the Institute, except to note that it is a rare occurrence.
-
I cannot predict whether the Institute and/or a particular speaker will
consent to third-party taping of a lecture. All lectures are audiotaped
by the Institute, and some are also videotaped. These tapes are held by
the Special Collections Division of the UBC Library.
-
I do not handle suggestions for speakers to be invited.
-
I generally cannot predict when I will receive next season's program
from the Program Chair.
-
I do not handle advertising.
-
I have no idea whether the Institute has merchant accounts with any
credit card companies, let alone whether any such accounts might be
authorized for telephone transactions.
-
I have no involvement with any mailing list(s) maintained by the
Institute.
Many of these issues can, however, be resolved by contacting the
Institute staff, using the information given at the top of this page.
P.S.: It may be that some webmasters are mind readers; I am not.
Also, there are times when my mind is not operating at top efficiency,
and I may misinterpret a page description which seems perfectly clear to
you.
If you are writing about a page or pages on this site, or are referring
