An interfaith meditation and prayer space is designated for use at the southeast corner of the first floor that offers a secluded space in Ellis library.
We’ve placed signage in the area that requests respect for those engaged in meditation or prayer. In less busy times, you might be able to reserve an open study room for a more private space.
The Division of Inclusion, Diversity & Equity maintains a list of spaces on campus that can be used for meditation and prayer.
The Data Archives Service at MU Libraries offers assistance to MU faculty, staff and students needing machine-readable datasets for new and original research projects. Through the library’s campus membership in the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR) and the Roper Center for Public Opinion Research, MU affiliates may browse and download any of thousands of datasets on a wide variety of topics. We also help users access the growing number of public use datasets on the internet.

During the fall semester, the work of Jane B. Mudd will be on display in Ellis Library’s Bookmark Cafe.
Jane Bick Mudd lives on a farm outside of Fulton, Missouri with her husband Tom. She has three grown children and is an Assistant Professor of Art at William Woods University in Fulton. She works in several medias and has a body of work that reflects many different themes. “The subject of my next painting or project is usually dictated by my daily experiences and exposures. I look for opportunities and challenges and I’m curious. I feel strongly about the environment, women’s issues, peace, and the importance of art in the world. I most often work directly from life but occasionally use other imagery for inspiration. Recently I have pursued several opportunities for public art.”

Come visit Ellis Library’s colonnade to see this exhibit put together by MU undergraduate students! Mizzou’s undergraduate Digital Indigenous Studies class put together an exhibit at the end of their semester to complement an online exhibit that they created during
their coursework. The exhibit uses objects from the museum’s collections and was done in consultation with the Kawerak people.
Since the Museum of Anthropology is still under construction, the exhibit is being displayed on the first floor of Ellis Library. To learn more and to see the digital exhibit, visit the the Museum of Anthropology’s website.
