Book Talk with Greg Olson: The Ioway in Missouri

By Shannon Cary Posted in Gateway Carousel Gateway Carousel ELTC Workshops

Posted on November 23, 2020November 24, 2020

Date: Thursday, December 3, 2020
Time: 4:00pm – 5:00pm
Online Event on Zoom

Though the Ioways were relative latecomers to present-day Missouri, their Oneota ancestors lived along the lower Missouri River prior to the arrival of Europeans. The decline of the Missouria people in the 1790s made room for the Ioways to move south into northern Missouri in the early 19th century. They remained there until the relinquished their claims to the land in a treaty with the U.S. in 1824. In 1836, they ceded their last claim to live in Missouri to the government and were forcibly removed to a reservation on the Kansas-Nebraska border. A portion of the Ioway Nation still lives in that location today.

Historian Greg Olson will talk about the Ioways origins, their culture and the role they played in the history of Missouri. He will also talk about the ways they have persevered and prospered as a people since leaving Missouri.

About the author

Greg Olson is an independent scholar living in Columbia, Missouri, who has been named a Center for Missouri Studies Fellow for 2020.

Olson is the author of six books about Native American history in Missouri. The Ioway in Missouri (2008), won the Missouri Humanities Council’s Governor’s Humanities Award for Distinguished Literary Achievement. His most recent book, Ioway Life: Reservation and Reform, 1837-1860 (2016) was named a Kansas Notable Book in 2017.

Mizzou Libraries Can Help Your Students Become Information Literate

By Shannon Cary Posted in Gateway Carousel Gateway Carousel ELTC Resources and Services

Posted on November 11, 2020November 12, 2020

The University of Missouri Libraries are dedicated to the development of a university community that is information literate. Our librarians offer expert research instruction across the disciplines in order to provide the MU community with the skills and knowledge to expertly identify, find and evaluate information.

Our instructional services are informed by the Association of College and Research Libraries’ Framework for Information Literacy in Higher Education. We believe that MU graduates should be able to:

Identify problems important to society and the information needed to address them.
Find existing sources of information on a topic.
Evaluate the accuracy, validity and reliability of information presented in a wide variety of media.
Conduct appropriately focused library, field or laboratory research.
Analyze and synthesize information gathered, demonstrating strategic and logical reasoning skills.
Demonstrate the understanding of costs, benefits and consequences of proposed resolutions to problems important to society.
Organize information, data and ideas for further analysis and presentation.

Whether you’re teaching online or in-person, synchronously or asynchronously, it’s never too early to begin collaborating with your subject librarian on integrating information literacy instruction into your courses. Visit https://library.missouri.edu/instruction today to learn more about the variety of instructional services we offer.

Overdue Library Books

By Mara Inge Posted in Engineering Library Resources and Services

Posted on September 14, 2020October 21, 2020

When we closed rather abruptly in March, we instructed everyone to hang onto their library books as we didn’t have a safe way for you to return them. Now that we’ve been back up and running for a while, we’ve got it all figured out! If you have any overdue library books lying around, please return them to the book drop outside of the Engineering Library. Starting October 1st, you will begin to see our typical courtesy notices in your email. Don’t panic! We’re just asking that you return your books as soon as you can. As always, if you have any questions or concerns please email us at eltc@missouri.edu.

Curbside Pickup at the Engineering Library

By Mara Inge Posted in Engineering Library Resources and Services

Posted on August 24, 2020October 21, 2020

We are so pleased to be open to patrons once again! For those patrons who do not feel comfortable coming into the library in person, we will still offer curbside pickup.

How does Engineering Library Curbside Pickup work?

Simply request your library material through the MERLIN catalog and choose “ENGR Library pickup” as your location. You will receive an email letting you know your hold is at the Engineering Library and ready for you to pick up. If you would prefer curbside, simply call 573-882-2379 or email eltc@missouri.edu to arrange a pickup time. We will be open for curbside pickup M-F 11:00am – 1:00pm.

When you arrive at Lafferre, call the library at 573-882-2379 and we will arrange to bring your materials to your car. Please have your ID card out and ready to view – you can just show it to us through the window if you like. We will have your materials bagged up and ready to go. Please have your trunk open to ensure a contact-less delivery.

How long must I wait to pick up my books after I place the request/hold?

We will try as hard as possible to fill requests quickly. However, we are quarantining most library materials for a period of 3 days. This may lead to a longer than usual wait times.

Can I get books from other libraries?

Books from other libraries may be picked up via curbside pickup. This may take a few additional days due to quarantining of books and materials. If you wish to pick up these books from the library they reside in, please contact that library directly for specific details.
