NOVEMBER 2000 No¥a Southeastern University Libraries Newsletter As we approach Thanksgiving f----------j Day in the year 2000, our ten-11 dency will be to reflect on the many good things for which we have reason to give thanks and express our appreciation. When I A M essag! from the Via? Pres ident far Infarrmtion Senia:s & Unhmity Librarian Hdiday Pany Ttrh Tips It's A II in a Day's Ride it's A II in a. Day's Work I think of the NSU libraries in the I context of the purpose of the up-11 coming Thanksgiving, many things come to my mind. Nova Southeastern University i s  2 blessed with having a committed, i 21 dedicated, and service oriented I library staff. Library staff through­i out the NSU library system are to 21 be thanked and appreciated for your fine work. In my 30 years as an academic library director, I have not worked with a library staff who has a better service atti­tude than the NSU libraries' staff. Even though the lines given here on this topic are few in number, I want each library employee to fully understand that I genuinely appreciate your fine work. Thank you!

You press [Enter] to accept the default range, and then copy that formula down or over, right? Here's a faster way: You can create all the sums at once with a single mouse click. Simply select the appropriate range of cells where you want the sums to be, and then click the AutoSum button on the Standard toolbar. When you do, Excel will automatically enter the appropriate formulas in each of the cells you've selected. (You won't have I to confirm the ranges.) • • • • • • • • I VIOLET MANIA I On September 30th, Peggy Madison and lia Hemphill partiCipated in the annual African Violet Council of Florida held in Lakeland.

Volume 2 Issue 4 IT'S ALL IN A DAY'S RIDE " NSU has acquired four buses to shuttle students, faculty, and staff �� \ around our 232-acre main campus. The two-directional route is �  operated weekdays from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm. There are no set bus \/f'-' C Ol'S I{<..k stops. Those wishing to ride are encouraged to wave, and the bus will stop. This is a convenient, easy way to get around campus, especially between Horvitz and HPD. You Will be glad you learned how to utilize this service when parking becomes a premium In the near future! Just look for the purple and silver bus, and wave and ride! • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •  IT'S ALL IN A DAY'S WORK LAW LIBRARY Billie Jo Kaufman, Rhonda Gold, lisa Smith-Butler, and Carol Yecies attended the American Association of L a w  L i b r a r i e s  C o n f e r e n c e  In Philadelphia.

ACTION IN ARCHIVES by Bettie Jacobs Assistant to the Director For many months we have been negotiating and working with the Miami Dolphins toward a collaboration between the two entities for the purpose of creating a Dolphin history with the people who made it happen. We have met with Eddie Jones, the Miami Dolphin's president, who has given his enthusiastic support to what we believe is a unique project. We will be conducting oral histories with former and current team members coaches, staff, trainers, physicians' officials, etc. The oral history tapes will be indexed and stored in the Archives available to researchers and students or some other form of public presentatio�. It's been an exciting period of time for us. We are looking forward to advancing with our project and the many challenges that will be presented.
