Sage Sayings of Dr. Andrew Taylor Still

" Nature has no apology to offer. It does the work if you know how to line up the parts;then food and rest are all that is required."

" We must first acquire ourselves with all its workings in the normal before we are prepared to comprehend or think intelligently of the meaning of the word 'abnormal'."

" Memory calls up the past; reason sees tomorrow."

Thruhlar Robert E. Doctor A.T. Still in the living. Chagrin Falls, Ohio, 1950. p. 98.


Did you know..

NYCOM library is in the process of changing more journal titles from print format to electronic. If you are looking for a journal title that can not be found on the shelf, please go to Journal Locator and enter the title in the search box to see if the title is available electronically.


New Photocopiers

The library has new photocopiers which no longer accepts the old copy cards. You will need to encode money on your ID card with the encoder machine at NYCOM II Cafeteria. We'll reimburse you for any amount left on your old copy card, if you turn in your old copy card at the circulation desk.
