“Hawley calls for MU to cut ties with the Confucius Institute”
Columbia Missourian, July 24, 2019
For the second year, the University Libraries will hold an escape room activity in Ellis Library for Welcome Week. This is a fun opportunity for new students to set foot in the library. Teams of students will navigate the library, find clues, and solve puzzles.
Librarian volunteers are needed or a variety of tasks. Contact Shannon (carysn@missouri.edu) if you can help for an hour or two (or three) in Ellis Library between 5-8 pm on Friday, August 16.
Awhile back the new books had been moved from the wooden bookcases in the colonnade to some shelving near the Research Help Desk. The shelving was too low for many of our patrons. The new books will be relocated back to the wooden bookcase on the west side of the colonnade, near the newspapers.

“Finding a quiet spot: These are some of the best places to study at MU”
Columbia Missourian, July 18, 2019
Now in its third year, the Wish List campaign helps the University Libraries to purchase titles that we wanted to purchase, but could not squeeze into our previous year’s budget. You can help the Libraries make these titles accessible to our students and faculty by donating to purchase your favorite titles on the list. Just click the “Buy” button next to your chosen title and follow the instructions. Prices also include a small fee to help with shipping and processing costs. Titles that you fund will be added during the fall semester.
Past campaigns have helped us add over $25,000 in materials to our collections. Your generosity is truly appreciated! Thank you for reviewing the Wish List and considering how you can help strengthen the Libraries’ collections.
Go to library.missouri.edu/giving/wishlist to find a title of interest to you.
If you would like to help us add any of these titles to our collection, please select “Buy” in the right-hand column, and follow instructions to purchase by credit card or check. If you need assistance with the purchase, Matt Gaunt would be glad to help. E-mail or call Matt at: gauntm@missouri.edu or 573-882-9168.
Thank you for supporting our University Libraries!
