The Language Services team has just launched its Web site. Users will find plenty of information and a number of useful tools there, including the University Online Terminology Guide, which contains roughly 500 specialized terms from the field of postsecondary studies and administration, including dozens of usages specific to the University of Ottawa.
For now, the base is essentially an online version of the University of Ottawa Terminology Guide published on campus in 1994. The service will be expanding the data base regularly, both with new university terms (for example, partnership degree, major research paper, degree-granting time, graduation rate) and an array of official titles and designations.
Language Services encourages all campus units to submit a bilingual list of their official titles and designations (committees, document titles, special programs, etc.) for the data base.
For a new term or expression to be researched and published, it must deal exclusively with the postsecondary sector.
Jocelyne Morin oversaw the entire site production, while Jim Kohan and his team of programmers designed the online terminology guide.
