Countdown to Finals: Library Account Status

Every student at Mizzou has many accounts they need to keep track of, and some of those accounts can help you out at the Mizzou Libraries!

Know the status of your Print Quota. Make sure you have money left if you still need to do a lot of printing! If you go over your semester allowance, you can add money to your Tiger card account to pay for additional printing. Unfortunately, student charge is no longer available for this service, so make sure and check your account regularly. To check the status of your Print Quota, click the link and log in with your username and password. You can also request refunds from this site if your print didn’t come out correctly. While you’re at it, make sure to download PrintAnywhere if you haven’t already. If you’ll be in the library, install those printers on your device now to save yourself time.

Another account to keep in mind is your MU Libraries account. This is the account that keeps track of all the books and materials you have checked out from the Mizzou Libraries. If you have anything checked out through Interlibrary Loan, you can see that information by logging into your separate ILL Account

Additionally, something else you always want to bring with you to the Mizzou Libraries is your Student ID (either your physical ID or your Mobile ID). After 10 pm this is how you are granted access into Ellis Library, and this is also how you check out supplies (i.e., chargers, whiteboard markers, etc.) or use available lockers during all hours that library services are open.

Countdown to Finals: Study Spaces

Before those long hours of studying during finals week, find a study spot at Mizzou Libraries. We have spaces for everyone.

If you prefer silence, check out rooms 201 and 202 in Ellis Library. Check out this Ellis Library floorplan to see all the quiet spots. Journalism also has four private personal study pods on the bottom floor that are first come, first served.

If you don’t prefer complete silence, try the Information Commons (or the first main floor of Ellis Library). Or the Bookmark Café on the ground floor for coffee and conversation. You can always take a look at the Ellis Library sensory map to find the best study space for you.

We also have maps that help you search by type of seating by floor in Ellis Library. If you are interested in soft seating vs. tall seating, this is the map for you.

If it’s a group study spot you are searching for, try to reserve one of the group study rooms in either Ellis, Engineering, or Journalism. They can be reserved for up to two hours for each group. Some also have Solstice monitors to help groups studying together share information with one another. Whatever you need, make sure and plan ahead, as rooms fill up quickly!

Remember, if your program has its own library, be sure to check out those spaces, as they are often designated specifically for you!

Which Journal is Right For Your Research?

An important step in the publishing cycle is choosing the best journal for your research. There are so many journals out there, but which ones are the best? Which ones are real or predatory? Which ones have a high impact factor?

These questions can be easily answered using the Health Sciences Library’s journal evaluation tool.

This tool will save you time by pulling impact factors, CiteScore, and other quality indicators for the journals you need, all in one place. A new addition to the tool is whether a journal has been hijacked or if any publishing fees are reduced or waived for MU affiliates.

All you need to search is the journal title or the ISSN.

Email us at at asklibrary@health.missouri.edu if you need assistance.

Ways of Living: Intervention Strategies to Enable Participation guides students and practitioners in working with clients across the wide range of occupational therapy services to achieve improved outcomes for clients—outcomes increasingly required by health care reimbursement systems.

Twice As Hard : The Stories of Black Women Who Fought to Become Physicians, from the Civil War to the 21st Century

Black women physicians’ stories have gone untold for far too long, leaving gaping holes in American medical history, in women’s history, and in black history. It’s time to set the record straight No real account of black women physicians in the US exists, and what little mention is made of these women in existing histories is often insubstantial or altogether incorrect. In this work of extensive research, Jasmine Brown offers a rich new perspective, penning the long-erased stories of nine pioneering black women physicians beginning in 1860, when a black woman first entered medical school.

 

Community-engaged research for resilience and health 

This research is part of a two-pronged approach to public health, intending to increase resilience and communities’ internal support while simultaneously reducing barriers to health care access. The efforts featured in Community-Engaged Research for Resilience and Health highlight community-based solutions, points of strength, and sources of resilience to help communities that are struggling to survive and thrive in the face of adversity

 

Hand Grasps and Manipulation Skills : Clinical Perspective of Development and Function

April 8th is Right to Read Day

Right to Read Day is April 8th and it’s the kick off to this year’s National Library Week!

So what can you do on Right to Read Day?

  • Thank a Library Worker! 
    • Our library workers are dealing with unprecedented harassment and threats to their livelihoods. Whether in person or online, let them know you value their professionalism, dedication, and services they provide to your community!
  • Check out (and read) a banned book
    • Search our collection and if we don’t have the book you are looking for, you can request a copy from another Missouri library.
  • Get involved with your local library
    • Libraries are community institutions, and you can support your local library and spread awareness about its value in many ways. The best place to start is by talking to your librarian about how you can get involved. Did you know we have a Friends of the Libraries group at Mizzou Libraries
  • And there’s always more you can do! Visit the Right to Read website to find other ways to support your libraries and reading.

“Books bring us together. They teach us about the world and each other. The ability to read and access books is a fundamental right and a necessity for life-long success,” says Burton. “But books are under attack. They’re being removed from libraries and schools. Shelves have been emptied because of a small number of people and their misguided efforts toward censorship. Public advocacy campaigns like Banned Books Week are essential to helping people understand the scope of book censorship and what they can do to fight it,” Levar Burton, 2023 Honorary Banned Books Week Chair.
