Dr. Booth: Rapid Alterations in Perirenal Adipose Tissue Transcriptomic Networks with Cessation of Voluntary Running (Open Access)

Dr. Frank W. Booth, PhD. is a Professor in the Department of Physiology & Pharmacology at the School of Medicine, the department of Nutrition & Exercise Physiology, and is a Research Investigator at the Dalton Cardiovascular Research Center. His research interests currently include elucidating mechanisms underlying the decreases in physical activity and gaining a better understanding of why cardiorespiratory fitness, or VO2max declines as an organism ages. Dr. Booth has published over 220 publications and has numerous national and international honor awards from exercise biology organizations. To learn more about Dr. Booth, click here.

Dr. Booth published, along with several University of Missouri doctoral students, in Public Library of Science (PLoS One), an open access journal for science and medicine.

Information on the Journal Review Process

Updated 4/11/2016: Thanks to everyone who provided feedback! More information on the FY17 Libraries budget and the collection review process: http://library.missouri.edu/collectionsreview/

With the prospect of a possible $1 million shortfall to the MU Libraries collection budget in FY2017, we are seeking input on some lower-use journals, particularly the titles in the bundles purchased through publishers Elsevier and Wiley.

We are beginning with the Elsevier and Wiley bundles (plus a few additional high cost/use journals from other publishers) because:

  •  these packages consume a large portion of the library collections budget, amounting to about $2,000,000 annually
  •  similar to a “cable tv model,” these bundles contain many titles which were never selected for our library (e.g. the package include dentistry titles that were not chosen by the Libraries)

Login here to review the list of titles
Deadline for Review: Monday, April 4, 5pm. 

When looking at the journal list, you'll likely find it easiest to sort the journals by Subject (click on the green arrow in the Subject column).

You will see only one journal in the "Veterinary Medicine" category. Please check associated categories such as Agriculture, Biology, Human Anatomy & Physiology, Medicine, and Zoology.

Submit your feedback via the online database, or email Kate Anderson directly with any questions or concerns.

Learn more about the campuswide collections review process and the reasons for it.

With subscription prices escalating annually at a rate that far exceeds inflation, MU is not the only university facing this dilemma.  Read more:

MU Libraries December 2015 Newsletter

December 2015

Dear friends and colleagues,

As we come to the end of the year, we wish you and yours a happy and refreshing holiday and look forward to the new semester.

As you have heard, the proposed library fee did not receive the required 60% of the student vote.  We want to let you know that the Libraries have been working hard to address current budget issues.  The good news is that we are able to avoid a large journal cut this fiscal year.  A message to faculty about current and future budget expectations will be shared with faculty late January. 

There are several ways in which you can support the libraries:

We continue to celebrate the centennial of the libraries. Please join us for our rededication ceremony on January 15, 3:00-5:00, in the grand reading room. Author Steve Weinberg will give a brief presentation on his upcoming publication, A Place of Visions: 100 years of the University of Missouri Libraries.

Attention BrowZine users.  We are sorry to report that this service will be discontinued beginning January 1st.  If you have questions, please contact your subject librarian. 

We are pleased to welcome librarian Timothy Perry to Special Collections. Tim recently completed a Master of Information degree at the University of Toronto, with specializations in Library and Information Science and in Book History and Print Culture. He also holds a Bachelor’s degree in Classics and French from the University of Canterbury (New Zealand), a Master’s degree in Classics from the University of Canterbury, and a PhD in Classics from the University of Toronto.

We wish you all the best in the new year!

A message from HSL director about the library fee vote

November 19, 2015

Student Leaders informed the Acting Director of Libraries last evening that the library student fee referendum placed on the student election ballot failed.

We want to thank the students who supported the libraries, those who participated in the discussions, and to all of those who took the time to vote. Given the outcome of the vote, we will continue to serve the needs of our users in the most effective way possible, with available resources. We continue to value input from our users, and we look forward to working with you as we move forward.

Deb Ward, Director, Health Sciences Libraries
