Notice

BCD's annual blood drive on Sept. 25 was the college's biggest drive ever, according to Stacy Turner, a Carter Blood Care consultant. Coordinated by Sharon Limes, college nurse in the Student Health Clinic, the drive attracted 81 participants, including 32 first-time donors, and collected 66 blood units.

"A special thanks is extended to all the members of Delta Sigma Delta for volunteering to sponsor this event," Limes said. "Their enthusiasm was very visible such as making personal contact with donors, scheduling appointments, posting announcements – even special balloons and a banner to welcome participants."

Plans are under way to schedule another blood drive in early 2003.

EndNote demonstration and class: Reference management software can make writing scientific articles, dissertations and theses easier. The Baylor Health Sciences Library is offering both a demonstration and a class on EndNote software Oct. 9 in the Instructional Computer Lab adjacent to the library.

The one-hour demonstration begins at 4 p.m. It is designed for those who are thinking about reference management software or who want an introduction to EndNote. At 5:30 p.m., the two-and-a-half-hour class will cover EndNote. It is designed for new users or those who want to use EndNote more effectively. Bring your questions.

Space is limited and registration is required. To register or for more information, contact Susan Bader, assistant director for public services at the library, at Ext 8186 or sbader@tambcd.edu.
