| library.... worth joining? Do i need anything to join other than cash e.g residence permit (don't have).. does it have decent enough selection of books so that I don't need to ship from home? Is it just reference TEFLy stuff or does it have fiction/interest titles as well? Going to be out there in a few weeks and envisage serious excess baggage problem? |

| Do you know something we don't? There is no council in Istanbul.(Although I've heard rumours about it re-opening somewhere in Maslak) The old books from the council went to Bilgi-I think it was Molly who informed us of this. A friend of mine will be working p/t at the B-side and said they have alot of materials. Did Sally et al manage to salvage a load of books from the council? Anyone in the know? |

| At least it will help the Bilgi students keep their Ferraris on the road. |
I heard a rumour that there is an F60 around.
There were only 399 of them built(yes, this was on top gear this week) So,is it really true that a student at Bilgi has an F60? |

Similarly the Izmir branch of the BC was moved to the University of Economics following the bombs in 2003. The library moved, minus all the overdue books - who would make a special trip to the periphery of Izmir in order to pay a fine?
The private universities seem to be doing well by this. |
