Coming Soon: Symptom Check Required to Access Ellis Library and Other Buildings on Campus

MU has made the decision to require symptom checks through the #CampusClear app in order to enter some buildings on campus. The complete list of buildings hasn’t been made public, but Ellis Library will be one of the buildings. We believe the Rec Center and the Student Unions will also have this requirement. The campus-wide implementation is underway, and Kathy Peters is working with SOS staffing services to manage the screening station, which will be at the west entrance. Although a date hasn’t been confirmed, this will probably start at the beginning of October. All patrons and staff will be screened during all normal business hours of Ellis Library. Staff who come in when the library is not open to the public will not be screened, but remember that supervisors are allowed to ask you if you have checked your symptoms. If someone chooses not to use the #CampusClear app, there will be an alternative symptom check method.

We will keep you updated as we receive further information about this new procedure. In the meantime, you should download the app and check your symptoms daily.

1,000 Documents Added to the MU Extension Collection in MOspace

Since the beginning of 2020, Mizzou Libraries’ Digital Services department has added 1,040 MU Extension publications to MOspace, the University of Missouri System institutional repository. These include historical and current publications. We digitized older publications, dating back to 1915 — “Reducing waste in feeding hay” — and added publications from the MU Extension website through 2019.

Extension publications cover a variety of topics including farming, farm animals, gardening, clothing tips, healthy diets and managing a club. Here are two to get you started in your exploration of the collection.

For hobbyists, learn about braided rugs, sewed rugs, crocheted rugs, woven rugs, knitted rugs and hooked rugs.

This publication gives us a reminder that in the past the United States has discussed plans to adopt the metric system. As noted in the publication:

“By the time 1980 rolls around … the United States will be well on its way to adopting the International Standard of Units or, as it is more commonly referred to, the metric system. The International System of Units was formally adopted by the countries of the world in 1960. This system has six standard units from which all measurement can be derived. These six units are: meter (m) … kilogram (kg) … second (s) … degree Kelvin … ampere (amp) … candela (cd).”–First page.

Note: For many topics, particularly those related to farming, gardening and food, always check the MU Extension website for current information.

Start Using the #CampusClear App Today

At the Mizzou Libraries, we are concerned about the health and safety of our Tiger community. Part of that effort is creating a culture of awareness by requiring faculty, staff and students to monitor their health daily. The practice is also recommended for visitors. Now, self-monitoring is made easier with #CampusClear.

#CampusClear is a self-screening mobile application designed to support campus community members as they monitor their day-to-day health and respond to potential COVID-19 symptoms. #CampusClear provides a daily push notification and self-monitoring only takes a few seconds. The app will also act as a pass to provide students, faculty and staff access to designated locations in the future.

To sign up:

  1. Access the app on the App Store, Google Play or via the web.
  2. Indicate if you are a student, an employee or a visitor. Faculty, staff and students should use their university email address to automatically register with the university. No other contact information is needed.
  3. Visitors will be asked to select the school they wish to visit and may provide either their phone number or personal email address to sign in.
  4. Users will be asked to finish authentication via the email they provided for registration.

Individual and Group Study Spaces in Ellis Library – Fall 2020 Update

To help with social distancing and the need to take classes online, all reservable study rooms are now designated for individual use only. Reservations are for two-hours and each student can have one active reservation at a time. As soon as that reservation is complete or canceled, a new reservation can be made. You can find out more about available study rooms in Ellis Library at:

Study Room Information

Reserve a Study Room

If you need group study space, rooms 114 and 114A will be available with furniture arranged to accommodate groups of two to four socially-distanced students. In 114A, we can seat up to sixteen students (in groups of fours) as a large collaboration space. Conversation will be allowed in these rooms.

Please do not add or remove chairs from study rooms. Further, the Libraries follow University guidelines and require the use of face coverings in all library spaces including single-occupancy study rooms. The only exception to this policy is when seated and eating on the lower level, or when scheduled to film or record in the Digital Media & Innovation Lab.

Disability Culture Month: Movies that Depict Disability

September is Disability Culture Month at Mizzou. For the past few years, the University Libraries have partnered with the Disability Center to purchase a movie that depicts a person with a disability. Below are some of the movies about disability that you can access through the Libraries.

  • Deej (DVD and streaming): Deej is DJ Savarese, a non-talking autistic man who was abandoned by his birth parents and remained uneducated until his adoptive parents helped him pursue an education. This film deals with Deej’s transition to college life and the difficulties and growth that Deej pursues at Oberlin.
  • Notes on Blindness (DVD): In the summer of 1983, just days before the birth of his first son, writer and theologian John Hull went blind. In order to make sense of the upheaval in his life, he began keeping a diary on audiocassette.
  • Unrest (DVD): When Harvard Ph.D. student Jennifer Brea is struck down by a fever that leaves her bedridden, she sets out on a virtual journey to document her story as she fights a disease that medicine forgot.

Here are some more relevant resources at Mizzou Libraries:

What Happens When Your Library Materials Are Overdue?

If items you borrow are overdue, we send you a reminder notice. If you still don’t return them, we send a bill for replacement cost, which is $175 per item. You also won’t be able to place holds or check out anything until either the overdue items are returned or your replacement bill is paid.

Change to library policy due to COVID-19 pandemic: When library materials are returned, they will be placed in quarantine. You will not be assessed fines during the time that a book is being quarantined.

If your overdue book is recalled by another library user, you will be charged $2 per day. If the book is an Interlibrary Loan item, you will be charged $10 per day. You will not be able to borrow anything until you return the item. Again, you will be billed $175 if you do not return the item.

Books borrowed from other libraries through MERLIN or MOBIUS may be subject to overdue fines, which are imposed by those libraries.

More information about library fines, can be found here.

For questions about Ellis Library materials, please contact the Check Out and Information Desk at 573-882-3362.
