Wiley Receives Kudos From J-School

Jennilyn Wiley has been recognized with a Quacknowledgment of Excellence! This is a monthly recognition campaign for staff at the Missouri School of Journalism. Robin Kristin Nichols nominated Jennilyn Wiley with this explanation:

“I asked Jennilyn a simple, one-two word answer question to help me to respond to an inquiry to the resource account regarding a former student’s professional work while writing for our news outlets. Jennilyn did far more than give me a simple answer and provided clarification on the inquirer’s date range (off by about 4 years, which was why he may have been unsuccessful on his own) and link to the type of information that he was looking for. Very impressive!”

We hope you will join us in recognizing Jennilyn!

We are pleased to share that the College of Veterinary Medicine will undertake renovations to the Veterinary Medical Library to further enhance our educational and study environments.

The scope of this project includes fresh paint, new flooring, updated HVAC, and the addition of a variety of modern study spaces, including loungers, collaborative tables, and private study rooms designed to support a range of learning needs.

The renovation is scheduled to begin later in June and is expected to continue through early August. During this time, the space and the physical collection will be unavailable. The library staff and online resources will still be available on the Vet Med Library website and by email at at vetlib@missouri.edu.

We apologize for any inconvenience this project may cause and appreciate your patience during this time. Our goal is to create an improved and more functional space that supports the success and well-being of our students, faculty, and staff.
