At the end of the spring semester, Kevin had the idea to host a bracket to choose the name of the new UMLD picker. It went really well with so many names submitted!

We finally got the magnet and the picker is officially named!

Reminder Regarding Library News Notes Submission

By Shannon Cary Posted in Staff news

Posted on August 21, 2024

Here are a few policies and procedures regarding News Notes.

1. Items for News Notes should be submitted to me by noon on Thursday. Please let me know if you will have a late submission.

2. Please send completed items as you wish them to be posted in the blog. This saves time and confusion. If you would like help in composing your post or if you want me to edit the post, please let me know in advance of the submission deadline.

3. If you have images for your posts, please send them to me as a graphic file attached (not inserted in) to your e-mail.

4. Items must be work-related, but I do occasionally post personal announcements about staff members in a Staff Corner post.

5. If you have corrections to items in News Notes, please send them directly to me.

Thank you for your cooperation. Following these procedures will aid me in making sure that News Notes items are published quickly and accurately. Please let me know if you have any questions.

We had another successful escape room event during Welcome Week this year! We had over 200 students register and about 150 attend! The students had a great time and that is thanks to all of those who helped this year!

You can see the photos of the groups and their different times they escaped here.

Thanks to everyone who helped!

Some others we need to thank: Ellis Library Circulation, Engineering Library, and the Journalism Library for letting us use all the ipads; Ellis Library shelving for shelving all the books we used during the event; Gayle Mooney helping order all the items we needed; and everyone who volunteered for the escape room run through back in July; And for safety team who stayed later to make sure we had time to clean up. And to anyone else we may have missed. 🙂

It takes a lot of people to help with this event and we appreciate all the time, big or small, you’ve contributed to make this fun event happen for the new Mizzou students.
