It’s not too late to get help with end-of-the-semester papers
and research projects.
While they won’t be available in the wee hours of the
mornings, the reference librarians at Carlson and Suhr
Libraries will be available during weekdays, most weekday
evenings until 9:00 p.m., as well as on Saturday at Suhr
Library and Sunday afternoon in Carlson Library. Stop by the Libraries or call
Carlson Library at 393-2490 or Suhr Library at 676-6591. Distance
Education Students may use the special toll-free number provided just for
you.
If immediate feedback is not crucial - or if it’s a time when the reference
librarians are not on duty - you may also submit requests for assistance
using our Ask A Librarian online reference form. It is available at the
Libraries’ Website at http://www.clarion.edu/library under the “Library
Help” heading.
Don’t forget about all the tutorials and resource lists also available at the
library Website.

Library Tip: If You Want To Keep It…Keep It
Safe!
The end of the semester and the Holiday Season are times
when you should take extra care to protect your valuables.
Don’t leave backpacks, purses, MP3 players, computers, or
other valuables unattended. They could disappear before
you know it.
Library Tip: Return Day
All library items should be returned by the end of Finals
to avoid fines and lost item charges. If you need an item
beyond that Friday, please consult with the Circulation
Department.
Computer Tip: A Picture Speaks A Thousand
Words In Excel
A picture speaks a thousand words and the point of a chart is to visually
show what the numbers already support. Charts don't have to be stiff and
boring…the columns in column charts don't have to be red, green, and blue.
Try adding a little “punch” to your next chart!
1. Create the chart normally.
2. Click once on a column and all columns will be selected. Click a
second time and only that column will be selected. Double-click the
selected column and click
area.
3. Select the
tab. Click the
the desired picture for the right effect. Click
in the color selection
button. Find
twice.
Something To Think About:
Life is a series of problems.
Either you are in one now,
you're just coming out of one,
or you're getting ready
to go into another one.
