Microfilm in 406 Ellis Library to U2
As part of the move of the film in 406 to CRL, we have taken a stopover at U2 so that remodeling of 406 can begin sooner than later. As such, all film has been updated in the catalog to show it is currently ‘Unavailable’ with Identity = ‘Temporarily Unavailable’. As these materials are processed, the records will be updated to accurately reflect the situation. We will also be moving the indexes in that room shortly to 2 East for final review and again, the catalog will be updated as they are moved.

Call for Mizzou Libraries Instagram Volunteers and Vacation Pictures
We are looking for volunteers to help create content for the Mizzou Libraries Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mizzou.libraries/ .
What would you need to do as an Instagram creator? Good question.
- Post on your scheduled day. Right now we have a few volunteers and they post once every 7 days.
- Show all the sides of the library. We have great content of new books, Ellis from back in the day, Book Face, behind the scenes of the library, and really anything to show the fun side of the library. Check out the Instagram to see what we’ve posted all year.
Don’t want to be a content creator, but still want to submit pictures? Great! Send your pictures to me.
We are also looking for pictures of you on vacation this summer. Send me fun pictures of places you visit, cool things you did, and even your staycation pictures. They don’t have to be pictures of you visiting another library, but those are also appreciated. You can take a look at other #LibrariansOnVacation for ideas: https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/librariansonvacation/
Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

Celebration of Service, May 22
This is a reminder that the Libraries’ Celebration of Service will be held in the Grand Reading Room on Tuesday, May 22 from 11:30 am to 1 pm. A calendar appointment went out last week, but I wanted to make sure that everyone has the correct date.
Campus will also be holding employee recognition week next week, from May 21 – May 25. I hope you are all able to participate in the various activities.
