New Discovery Tool for U.S. and U.K. Government Information
University of Missouri Libraries and the University of Missouri Law Library are collaborating to provide Mizzou faculty, staff, and students with U.S. and U.K. government documents from today back to 1660 on the ProQuest Government Documents discovery platform. This collection is comprised of nine databases, including ProQuest Indian Claims Insight, ProQuest Trends & Policy Collection, ProQuest Statistical Insight, ProQuest Government Periodicals Index, ProQuest Supreme Court Insight, and U.K. Parliamentary Papers. Ask your subject librarian for more information about all of the databases.
Got a Project You’re Proud Of? Submit to the Undergraduate Research Contest
If you are an undergraduate student who completed a research project in the last few semesters, you can submit your work to the Mizzou Libraries Undergraduate Research Contest.
You already did the hard work! Now just submit it; it’s so easy!
You submit your already-complete project as-is, and the only extra work is including a brief Research Process Statement with details about your research process.
A “research project” can be a traditional research paper, a musical composition, a work of art, a video, a web page, or other creative work.
Not sure what to submit? Check out past submissions for inspiration.
The deadline for submission of all materials is January 31, 2026. Winners will be announced in February 2026.

Mizzou Libraries Welcomes Jennilyn Wiley
Jennilyn Wiley, a seasoned librarian with a background in business and accounting, has been appointed head librarian of the Missouri School of Journalism’s Journalism Library. She will oversee a historic collection that includes over 30,000 print books, the world’s largest academic photojournalism archive, and a 4,000-volume journalism fiction collection.
Wiley brings diverse experience from roles in auditing, software training, and academic librarianship, most recently serving at Auburn University. Her expertise in data analysis, entrepreneurship, and interdisciplinary research positions her to lead the library into a new era of “knowledge management.”
Dean David Kurpius and Vice Provost Kara Whatley praised Wiley’s unique skill set and commitment to supporting students and faculty. Wiley, who holds a doctorate in communication and information from Kent State, says her lifelong connection to libraries inspired her career shift. She emphasizes the growing importance of libraries in the age of generative AI, where access to reliable, scholarly resources is more critical than ever.
