Nellie Renzelli has worked at the Killam Library for almost twenty years. In that time she has worked in conservation, preserving and repairing materials; and in the bindery, binding journals and other printed library materials. Nellie also worked in serials and in the mail room. In addition, she has also provided public assistance with serials and the microforms.
“It was my great pleasure to supervise Nellie for a number of years. Her positive attitude toward her work and her willingness to take on new challenges make her a real asset to the library. It will be wonderful to see her friendly face in the Library Administration Office!” said Susan Harris, one of Nellie’s supervisors.
We now welcome Nellie into her newest role, Administrative Assistant in the Office of the University Librarian, located in the Killam Memorial Library. “I am so happy to join the team in the Administration Office,” said Nellie. She will be providing reception services, putting items on e-reserve (materials faculty want put on reserve for students), providing front-line customer service at the Killam Library Service Point, and other administrative duties.
“I’m very happy that Nellie has joined the Administration Office and I look forward to working with her,” said Janice Slauenwhite.
Nellie will also be taking part in the 10k run in the Bluenose Marathon this weekend. Best of luck, Nellie!

Hi Nellie (& colleagues),
Well, Nellie, I am so very happy for you! Congratulations again. It has been a long time since Alison McNair and I first hired you to work in what was then the Serials/Microform Unit of the Killam Library (June,1994). Since then, many of us in TS at Killam would tease you about being the “baby” of our group since you were the youngest.
I’m not sure if you ever look back at your old paperwork from when you were first hired (Yes, I keep everything!) but I think it was just perfect when I looked at that today and at the very top our your Resume was your “Occupational Objective” = “Administrative Assistant. So, I think it is very fitting that you’ve reached that goal, Nellie, and I expect you are well on your way to further accomplishments.
If I may also be so revealing…. Some of the comments I rec’d from your Reference Check when I hired you in 1994 were: “Her character is just great. I didn’t want to let her go”. “Very dependable”. “Once trained, didn’t require a lot of supervision”. “Bright, quick to learn”. Well, I’m sure TS staff don’t want to let you go either but the great thing is that we still have you as part of the Killam family.
All the best, Nellie, in all your future plans!
Sincerely,
Karen Chandler
Manager, System-Wide Resources
KIllam Library
