The pdf version of the Vade Mecum (RIP), Handbook of procedures for the Diploma Programme is now available on the Library section of IBNET or from the Handbook tab on IBIS.  One important note here:  If any inconsistencies arise between the two versions of the 2009 Handbook (html versus pdf), it is the html version that takes precedence. I am not sure what inconsistencies might arise but we should all be aware of this.

Many if not all of the presentations and handouts from the 2009 Annual Regional Conference in Quebec City are posted on the conference website.  This is a wonderful resource of materials and documents for those who were not able to attend, or could not attend all of the sessions.
