The MU Libraries want to hear from you on ways the library can improve to better meet your needs. Complete the MU Libraries Student Survey here: http://tinyurl.com/MULibrary14. The survey takes approximately 5 minutes. Once you have completed the survey you will be asked for your MIZZOU e-mail to be entered into a daily drawing for a $10 gift certificate to the Bookmark Café. The last day to complete the survey is Dec 19^th.

Thank you! Your input will help shape the future of MU Libraries services, spaces and collections!

For questions about the survey contact Navadeep Khanal at khanaln@missouri.edu.

Don't let finals stress you out.

Come to the stress-free zone in the Ellis Library colonnade on Dec 15-17 to relax.  We will have games, puzzles, comics, snacks and much more. So don’t let those finals get you down.

 

This year the MU Libraries want to help you get into the Holiday Spirit!  We have created a holiday guide (https://libraryguides.missouri.edu/holidayguide) to help you know about events that are happening on campus and around Columbia. The guide also has tips on how to find holiday books, videos, music and much more.

For a sampling of some holiday materials that are in Ellis Library, check out the display near the scanners on the 1^st floor starting December 2^nd.

An interfaith meditation and prayer space has been designated for student use in the southeast corner of the Information Commons in Ellis Library. The short hallway that leads to an Emergency Exit is a space that is usually unoccupied and quiet.

At the request of the Missouri Students Association Chief Diversity Officer, this space now has a sign informing users of the purpose of this space and to respect the privacy of those using the space.

A campus Interfaith Prayer Map was created by the Missouri Students Association and Graduate Professional Council with this space in Ellis Library – along with other places on campus – identified for this purpose.

 

 

 

Special Collections will be back in the Colonnade with a display of materials related to Thanksgiving on Thursday, November 20, from 1 to 3 pm.  Materials on display will include Norman Rockwell’s “Freedom From Want” poster from World War II as well as American pamphlets on Thanksgiving from the 18^th and 19^th centuries.  Stop by and let us know what you’re thankful for!
