Adopt-a-Book Before Year’s End and Your Donation Will Be Matched by Kemper Foundation

Many books in the MU Libraries are fragile, others need minor repairs, still others require extensive help if they are to survive this century. Those of us who consider books our friends cannot bear to lose them, and it is in that spirit that the Friends of the MU Libraries have initiated the Adopt-A-Book Program. By adopting a book, you will ensure that it gets the help it needs to remain with us for years to come. Please consider sponsoring a book. All monies will go directly to the care and maintenance of rare, fragile and just plain good books. We are also happy to announce that, due to a grant from the Kemper Foundation, we are able to match your gift dollar for dollar. This grant ends December 31, 2009.

For more information and to adopt a book online, please visit http://mulibraries.missouri.edu/about/adoptabook/adoptabook.php

Government Documents: Something for Everyone

The MU Libraries have participated in the Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP) since 1862. The FDLP was established by Congress to ensure that the American public has access to its Government’s information.

Since 1813, depository libraries have safeguarded the public’s right to know by collecting, organizing, maintaining, preserving, and assisting users with information from the Federal Government.

Along with documenting the processes of the three main branches of government (Executive, Congress and the Judiciary), the Government Publication Office distributes documents produced by many government agencies. These include the Department of Energy, Department of Education, Census Bureau, the National Park Service and NASA. Government documents include books, reports, studies, hearings, and educational materials. Publications can be in any format, including books, pamphlets, posters, DVDs, CD-ROMs, puzzles, coloring books and maps. Government documents can be found through the library’s catalog, MERLIN, and most are shelved in 1 East.

For further information, please contact Marie Concannon or Sandy Schiefer.
