Emerging Technologies in Libraries Available in MOspace

Students in the SISLT course, Emerging Technologies in Libraries, have an assignment in which they identify top technology trends. As part of their coursework, they submit these for inclusion in MOspace. Check out the 2015 papers and find out what they identified as top trends and resources for gaming in libraries, academic librarians, public librarians, youth services, and digital humanities. A sixth paper is on developing media literate students.

MOspace Submission Process Now Easier

Thanks to the work of Diane Johnson and Michael Spears, submitting material to MOspace is even easier. MU members can now submit their material AND complete the required license agreement using an online form. The new form autocompletes several fields based on login information, explains the Creative Commons license used in MOspace, and allows users to attach files. We will continue to accept submissions sent to mospace@missouri.edu, too.     

You will find a link to the submission and license form on the MOspace LibGuide under Submit to MOspace:  https://libraryguides.missouri.edu/MOspace
