We are looking for volunteers to help keep the staff lounge clean! The staff lounge is cleaned twice a week (Monday & Thursday) and only takes 15 or so minutes of your time. Even if you can only clean for a few days, we will appreciate any time you volunteer! If you are interested in volunteering on any Monday or Thursday during the Fall Semester or have any questions, please reach out to Kimberly Evans (krerfb@missouri.edu) and Gwen Gray (grayg@missouri.edu). Thank you!

Need research help? Working on a paper or project? You can ask a librarian for help using our chat service– almost 24 hours a day.
During the day you can chat with Mizzou librarians and library staff. At night, we offer access to a chat reference service called ChatStaff. They will be able to answer most research questions, except for some that are Mizzou-specific.

Special Spaces in Mizzou Libraries: Sensory and Color Accessible Maps
Finding the perfect study spot can be difficult in Ellis Library. Some days you need quiet and other days you want to be alone. In order to make finding these spaces easier, we’ve created some sensory maps and color accessible maps.
The color coded sensory maps show where in Ellis Library you can find quiet space, uncrowded spaces, and spaces with natural light on every floor of Ellis Library.
The color accessible maps highlight all the seating options in Ellis Library: regular seating, high/stand up seating, soft seating. It also shows you were the restrooms are located on each floor.
You can access the maps here or you can find them under maps and floorplans on the main library website.
