Stroke is one of the leading causes of permanent disability in adults. The literature suggests that rehabilitation is key to early motor recovery. However, conventional therapy is labor and cost intensive. Robotic and functional electrical stimulation (FES) devices can provide a high dose of repetitions and as such may provide an alternative, or an adjunct, to conventional rehabilitation therapy. Brain-computer interfaces (BCI) could augment neuroplasticity by introducing mental training. However, mental training alone is not enough; but combining mental with physical training could boost outcomes. In the current case study, a portable rehabilitative platform and goal-oriented supporting training protocols were introduced and tested with a chronic stroke participant. A novel training method was introduced with the proposed rehabilitative platform. A 37-year old individual with chronic stroke participated in 6-weeks of training (18 sessions in total, 3 sessions a week, and 1 h per session). In this case study, we show that an individual with chronic stroke can tolerate a 6-week training bout with our system and protocol. The participant was actively engaged throughout the training. Changes in the Wolf Motor Function Test (WMFT) suggest that the training positively affected arm motor function (12% improvement in WMFT score).

On November 2, 2009, the Geoffrey R. Weller Library at UNBC embarked on a Strategic Planning Process through which to dream its
new vision as ?Research Library? to support UNBC as a research intensive university.
To facilitate the Library?s evolution, a Strategic Planning Kick Start Event, was held.
The day?s events included morning presentations by University Librarians from the University of British Columbia, University of
Victoria, Simon Fraser University and University of Guelph - each of whom provided a unique insight into their Library?s
successful academic evolution and what it actually means to be a ?Research Library?.
Mike Ridley (U Guelph CIO and University Librarian) talked about what it means to be a research library. Marnie Swanson (UVIC University Librarian) talked about the link between teaching-learning and research (the Learning Commons). Lynn Copeland's presentation was about e-learning, e-research and scholarly communication and Ingrid Parent (UBC University Librarian) spoke about the role of the library in the global community.
