So What's New in Sign Resources?
Winter Issue : July 2005
Happy winter everyone. We have all been very busy here reviewing new products and preparing for Hearing Awareness Week
(21-27 August 2005 nationally). We have also re-vamped the Bilby Sign Resource Web Site (more to come soon), and
re launched www.SignSwap.com.au! No time to hibernate with the Bilby's :)
We are excited to be able to announce a range of new products this winter.
12 of the Visual storybook titles, by the Victorian College for the Deaf,
have arrived! The new Classroom Kits, by Therepy Friends, have also
just come in stock.
Plus there are the new T-shirts, depicting the slogan "I AM Listening,
Try Signing Louder!", which have been very popular already, and are almost
sold out, so get in quick!
As proud sponsors of Hearing Awareness Week, we can also give you a sneak peek into the
Hearing Awareness Week Launch. We are taking pre orders now for the
commemorative A2 celo coated poster, which will be available from 20 August this year.
We are also pleased to have the "Motivational Poster Series"
available early, in stock already in Laminated A3 for only $27!
Happy signing

Bilby Publishing is proud to anounce the re-launch of SignSwap
Sign Swap was Australian's first FREE online access point to printable images of AUSTRALIAN SIGN LANGUAGE. Since then over 1 million image requests have been recieved by the site, reaching a site record of over 70,000 requests over the Christmas holidays alone!
The category sections have proven extreemly popular, as has the ability to request a sign and upload sign images users have created. There are even free tremplates to help you create images yourself.
Since the launch over a year ago, the sites popularity has been tremendous, provoking two server upgrades already, and now the new information sections and "course databases".
