APRIL/MAY 2000
EDITORIAL COMMENT
For those of you who celebrate Easter , we hope you had a wonderful holiday and feel Spiritually uplifted and refreshed. To those students who went home, we also hope you had a good break, traveled safely and are back ready to face another term of hard work. (Don’t despair your librarians are here to assist you wherever possible.)
The New Millenium certainly is forging ahead at an alarming rate. It is hard to believe that it is May already May, 2000. We Librarians are delighted at the rate at which our very valuable pamphlet collection is being entered on the Urica System which will ultimately make for far easier access to the information contained therein. Our special thanks goes to Christopher Merret of Natal University Library,
Pietermaritzburg, for arranging for some of his staff to assist us with this inputting. The more ‘in-putters’ there are the sooner the job will be complete and we can start searching on Urica, which will be a great help to students and staff alike.
The Hydroponics and Tunnel Open Day held in the Main Auditorium on the 19th April, 2000 resulted in a huge increase in the demand for our rather scant selection of Hydroponics books and also those related to Greenhouses and Tunnel Growing. It is always good to feel that one is able to be of service to the wider community.
Mrs. Howe was very grateful to be allowed to attend the Marketing and Exports Short course which was organized, and very ably run, by Anton Scheepers and Gareth Muller. What an incredible world of Trade and Industry there is out there for our Farmers to capitalize on.
