Next Edition <strong>of</strong> Best <strong>of</strong> the Web to be Developed<br />
Claire Zevnik-Cline in CIMC is gathering websites <strong>and</strong> apps to pr<strong>of</strong>ile in the<br />

like to nominate websites <strong>and</strong>/or apps that would be useful for educators <strong>and</strong><br />
students, let Claire know at chart@okcareertech.org or 405.743.5513.<br />
<br />
New Fillable-PDF Order Form<br />
The CIMC has created a h<strong>and</strong>y, fillable-PDF order form. This is similar to<br />
the paper order form in our print catalogs, but is a PDF file that allows you to<br />
enter text—such as your curriculum titles to be ordered—<strong>and</strong> your address<br />
information. The file will even calculate your purchase total based on the prices<br />
<strong>and</strong> quantities you enter! Another benefit <strong>of</strong> this fillable-PDF order form is that<br />
you can Save As <strong>and</strong> file a copy <strong>of</strong> your order on your computer, rather than<br />
keep track <strong>of</strong> a paper photocopy. To download a copy <strong>of</strong> the new order form,<br />
click on the “our order form” text in the first paragraph <strong>of</strong> text on our catalog<br />
web page at www.okcareertech.org/educators/cimc/catalog.
Thanks<br />
to OSU Animal Science <strong>Department</strong>!<br />
CIMC would like to thank the Animal Science <strong>Department</strong> within the OSU<br />
College <strong>of</strong> Agricultural Sciences <strong>and</strong> Natural Resources for their guidance<br />
during the latest revision <strong>of</strong> CIMC’s Animal Science curriculum. We appreciate<br />
their contribution <strong>of</strong> time <strong>and</strong> expertise!<br />
<br />
CIMC @ 45<br />
If some <strong>of</strong> the titles you have ordered were on backorder, thank you for<br />
placing that order! Over the past 4-5 years, CIMC has begun making a<br />
transition toward full-color teacher <strong>and</strong> student editions, based on customer<br />
input. These full-color products have different printing requirements—<strong>and</strong><br />
time requirements—than our traditional, black-<strong>and</strong>-white products had. We<br />
invested in a printing press specifically to allow us to produce these new<br />
products. As a result, many <strong>of</strong> our most popular titles are now available in<br />
full color. Our new challenge is to better pace the print jobs so that new titles<br />
<strong>and</strong> reprints do not compete with one another more than necessary. This is<br />
a growing pain for CIMC, even as we celebrate our 45th year. I apologize for<br />
any inconvenience this situation may have caused, <strong>and</strong> I thank you for your<br />
support <strong>of</strong> CIMC products.<br />
