Next Edition of Best of the Web to be Developed
Claire Zevnik-Cline in CIMC is gathering websites and apps to profile in the
upcoming eighth edition of CIMC’s popular Best of the Web booklet. If you’d
like to nominate websites and/or apps that would be useful for educators and
students, let Claire know at chart@okcareertech.org or 405.743.5513.
New Fillable-PDF Order Form
The CIMC has created a handy, fillable-PDF order form. This is similar to
the paper order form in our print catalogs, but is a PDF file that allows you to
enter text—such as your curriculum titles to be ordered—and your address
information. The file will even calculate your purchase total based on the prices
and quantities you enter! Another benefit of this fillable-PDF order form is that
you can Save As and file a copy of your order on your computer, rather than
keep track of a paper photocopy. To download a copy of the new order form,
click on the “our order form” text in the first paragraph of text on our catalog
web page at www.okcareertech.org/educators/cimc/catalog.

Thanks
to OSU Animal Science Department!
CIMC would like to thank the Animal Science Department within the OSU
College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources for their guidance
during the latest revision of CIMC’s Animal Science curriculum. We appreciate
their contribution of time and expertise!
CIMC @ 45
If some of the titles you have ordered were on backorder, thank you for
placing that order! Over the past 4-5 years, CIMC has begun making a
transition toward full-color teacher and student editions, based on customer
input. These full-color products have different printing requirements—and
time requirements—than our traditional, black-and-white products had. We
invested in a printing press specifically to allow us to produce these new
products. As a result, many of our most popular titles are now available in
full color. Our new challenge is to better pace the print jobs so that new titles
and reprints do not compete with one another more than necessary. This is
a growing pain for CIMC, even as we celebrate our 45th year. I apologize for
any inconvenience this situation may have caused, and I thank you for your
support of CIMC products.
