Handbook of Canadian Boarding Schools

Ashley Thomson, a faculty member in the J.N. Desmarais Library at Laurentian University of Sudbury, is the author/editor of the Directory of Canadian Private Residential Schools (1986), of which this is a major revision. Sylvie Lafortune is a faculty member in the J.N. Desmarais Library at Laurentian University of Sudbury.Private schools have frequently provided innovative, experimental, and creative program unavailable to students in the public system. The most successful have survived and expanded by offering an educational experience widely perceived to be not just as good as that available in the public system, but better. In Canada, private schools are enjoying an unprecedented popularity and while most are day-only, over sixty sustain boarding programs, as do two off-shore Canadian schools. The Handbook of Canadian Boarding Schools presents information on the educational environment of each province,then offers comparative information on each boarding school. The information on each school includes: basic data, location, history, philosophy, the campus, boarding facilities, health and safety, administration and faculty, student body and student conduct, academic calendar and program, information technology, student activities and student conduct, admission and costs. The Handbook also supplies several appendices outlining important programs often available through boarding schools, such as Advanced Placement courses and the International Baccalaureate. For parents in Canada and abroad about to commit substantial sums to their children''s education, the Handbook of Canadian Boarding Schools is an essential tool to help them make the right decision. It is also an indispensable resource for supporters of the public system looking for ideas that have worked elsewhere.Laurentian University subsidized the research for this project

Utilisation d'Internet et relations sociales

The debate over the impact of the Internet has been going on for well over a decade. On the one hand, pessimists maintain that the Internet separates people from one another as they withdraw in a virtual world. On the other hand, optimists argue that the Net removes physical barriers and provides countless possibilities to communicate and meet people. This study does not attempt to confirm or disprove either one of these opposing views. Rather, its objective is to determine if there is a link between Internet use and interpersonal relationships. In particular, it examines whether increased use of the Internet leads to isolation or, alternatively, more numerous, frequent and intense communications

Utilisation d'Internet et relations sociales

Il y a plus de dix ans que dure la polémique entourant Internet : les pessimistes, d'un côté, maintiennent que son usage étendu contribue à détruire le tissu social, tandis que les optimistes, de l'autre, l'associent au progrès social et à un avenir meilleur. L'objectif de cette recherche n'est pas tant de confirmer ou de réfuter l'une ou l'autre de ces logiques discursives, mais bien d'observer s'il existe, dans les faits, un lien entre l'usage d'Internet et les relations interpersonnelles. Plus particulièrement, nous voulons vérifier si plus on recourt à Internet plus on s'isole ou, au contraire, plus on entretient des communications en nombre, en fréquence et en profondeur.The debate over the impact of the Internet has been going on for well over a decade.

El objetivo de esta investigación no es solamente de confirmar o rechazar una u otra de estas lógicas discursivas, sino más bien, observar si existe en la realidad misma, un vínculo entre el uso de Internet y las relaciones interpersonales. Se trata particularmente de verificar si el hecho de recurrir en mayor medida a Internet contribuye al aislamiento o si por el contrario, se logra mejor comunicación tanto desde el punto de vista cantitativo, frecuentativo así como calitativo, es decir, vínculos profundos
