Information Commons Tables to Be Refinished
Good afternoon, the tables in Ellis IC1 have been scheduled to be refinished over winter and spring breaks. DoIT SITE staff will be coming either this afternoon or tomorrow to remove the computers from the tables on the east side and store them in one of the group study rooms until the tables return. These machines are configured in the same way as the computers in IC2, and the machines on the bars looking out the South windows will remain in place as well. While there will be in impact to the total number of computers, there should not be any loss of software availability. The refinishing project is expected to take about two weeks.
If all goes according to plan, we will be planning a similar activity over Spring break for the remaining tables in IC1.
Sincerely,
Ernest Shaw

Access for Ellis Library
As we approach the end of the Fall 2018 semester, I wanted to remind everyone that you must have pre-authorization to access the building when Ellis Library is locked. This new security measure was announced at the All-Staff Meeting in Sep 2018. Please be sure to check the building hours on our website at http://library.missouri.edu as you plan your intercession work schedule.
Winter Intercession is our first long-term implementation of this new security measure. Please be sure to check the building hours on our website at http://library.missouri.edu as you plan your intercession work schedule.
Change in Access for Ellis Library
- When Ellis Library is locked, you must request pre-authorization to access the building.
- The North and West doors will unlock 15 minutes before posted Library Hours and stay unlocked for 15 minutes after posted Library Hours. Pre-authorization is not needed for staff entry/exit at those times; only during locked hours.
- If you need access to Ellis Library when the doors are locked, send an email request to your supervisor and to Pat Jones. Be sure to:
- Indicate the date(s) and time(s) that you need access.
- State the nature of the work to be conducted while you are in the building.
- Upon entry/exit, you MUST confirm that the door is securely locked behind you. It only takes a moment to push or pull the door for confirmation.
