Peer review is a critical component of the scientific process. When completed properly by dedicated and competent reviewers, it helps to safeguard the quality, validity, authority, and rigor of academic work.

To help provide the next generation of peer reviewers with the skills they need, we have created the first peer review training program, designed specifically for researchers in the physical sciences.

You are invited to a free interactive online workshop focusing on peer review in materials engineering, co-chaired by Professor Aklesh Lakhtakia, Pennsylvania State University.

Date: October 5, 2020
Time: 10:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. EST

What will you learn in this peer review workshop?
Our unique interactive workshop, co-delivered by Professor Lakhtakia, will enhance your ability and skills to review with confidence. You will be given guidance throughout the workshop and will work towards writing a review of a short manuscript with support from an IOP Publishing peer review editor.

Workshop duration:
The online workshop will run for 3 hours

Key focus:
• Peer review fundamentals
• Models of peer review
• How to become a peer reviewer
• What to look out for
• How to write an excellent reviewer report
• Ethical issues in peer review

Become an IOP Trusted Reviewer
On successfully completing this workshop, you will have the opportunity to achieve IOP Trusted Reviewer status by submitting your reviewer report, as graded by our experienced editors. IOP Trusted Reviewer status will indicate that you have reached a high level of peer review competence and the ability to critique scientific literature to a high standard.

We are looking forward to welcoming you at the workshop.

Please feel free to forward the invitation to any of your colleagues that will find this workshop of interest to them.

1,000 Documents Added to the MU Extension Collection in MOspace

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

Posted on September 15, 2020September 18, 2020

Since the beginning of 2020, Mizzou Libraries’ Digital Services department has added 1,040 MU Extension publications to MOspace, the University of Missouri System institutional repository. These include historical and current publications. We digitized older publications, dating back to 1915 — “Reducing waste in feeding hay” — and added publications from the MU Extension website through 2019.

Extension publications cover a variety of topics including farming, farm animals, gardening, clothing tips, healthy diets and managing a club. Here are two to get you started in your exploration of the collection.

Homemade rugs (1938) – https://hdl.handle.net/10355/70494

For hobbyists, learn about braided rugs, sewed rugs, crocheted rugs, woven rugs, knitted rugs and hooked rugs.

Metric and other international units for agriculture (1978) – https://hdl.handle.net/10355/76837

This publication gives us a reminder that in the past the United States has discussed plans to adopt the metric system. As noted in the publication:

“By the time 1980 rolls around … the United States will be well on its way to adopting the International Standard of Units or, as it is more commonly referred to, the metric system. The International System of Units was formally adopted by the countries of the world in 1960. This system has six standard units from which all measurement can be derived. These six units are: meter (m) … kilogram (kg) … second (s) … degree Kelvin … ampere (amp) … candela (cd).”–First page.

Note: For many topics, particularly those related to farming, gardening and food, always check the MU Extension website for current information.

Overdue Library Books

By Mara Inge Posted in Engineering Library Gateway Carousel ELTC Resources and Services

Posted on September 14, 2020September 14, 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 Gateway Carousel ELTC Resources and Services

Posted on August 24, 2020August 25, 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.

New Books at the Engineering Library

By Mara Inge Posted in Engineering Library Resources and Services

Posted on June 29, 2020September 14, 2020

Happy Summer Tigers! Although we are bummed that we can’t see you in person yet, rest assured we are busy preparing for the day we do! Here are a sampling of new books that will be waiting for you when you return.

Advancing diversity, inclusion, and social justice through human systems engineering – Advancing Diversity, Inclusion, and Social Justice through Human Systems Engineering highlights how scholars and practitioners of HSE (inclusively defined to span many fields) can apply their theories and methods to understand and support healthy communities, include and empower diverse populations, and inspire strategies for a more inclusive future. T59.7.A37 2020

All blood runs red: the legendary life of Eugene Bullard – boxer, pilot, soldier, spy –
The incredible life story of Eugene Bullard, the first African American military pilot in WWI, who went on to become a self-taught jazz musician, a Paris nightclub impresario, a spy in the French Resistance and an American civil rights pioneer. Eugene Bullard lived one of the most fascinating lives of the twentieth century. The son of a former slave and an indigenous Creek woman, Bullard fled home at the age of eleven to escape the racial hostility of his Georgia community. TL540.B7492K425 2019

Culture of women in tech – This book offers a critical analysis of the contemporary and global tech culture and exposes the gender bias of masculine tech ideology and stereotypes. T36.H37 2020

Computer vision-based agricultural engineering – This unique work provides student, engineers and technologists working in research, development, and operations in the agricultural engineering with critical, comprehensive and readily accessible information. The book applies development of artificial intelligence theory and methods including depth learning and transfer learning to the field of agricultural engineering testing. S675.Z49 2020

In the making: digital fabrication and disability – The basic principles of digital fabrication – the transformation from concept to physical entity – offer intriguing possibilities for aesthetic and cultural readings, particularly from the perspectives of disability. Online, open access maker communities mean that anyone with an internet connection and a desktop 3D printer is able to download and print a wide variety of replicable and customisable objects. What might this mean for disabled people? TS171.95.H87 2020

Motor vehicles, the environment, and the human condition : driving to extinction – The world now has more than a billion motor vehicles, and this number continues to increase as developing countries imitate developed societies in their adoption of the culture of automobility. Motor Vehicles, the Environment, and the Human Condition: Driving to Extinction explores the political ecology of motor vehicles in an era of growing social disparities and environmental crises, the latter of which are most manifest in anthropogenic climate change to which motor vehicles are a major contributor. TD886.5.B34 2019

Engineering Library Updates

By Mara Inge Posted in Engineering Library Resources and Services Uncategorized

Posted on May 29, 2020August 6, 2020

Starting June 1, Engineering Library staff will be on-site Monday and Wednesday mornings.

While we will still be closed to patrons, having access to our print collection a few mornings a week will allow us to scan items for you in a much more timely fashion! More information on how the University Libraries are expanding services

Need an article from our print collection? Make a request through FindIt@MU or email us at eltc@missouri.edu

Need a book chapter for your students? Email us at eltc@missouri.edu

Ways to contact us:

Email eltc@missouri.edu
Call 573-882-2379 (we are checking voicemail regularly)
Set up a Zoom meeting with Noël

How to access our online resources:

Use the links on the Engineering Library home page or from any Libraries page. These links have all been “proxied,” so when you hit a subscribed resource, you’ll be asked to log-in with your SSO.
Use the Journal Finder to get to specific journal titles. The Journal Finder will let you know which years are available electronically.
Set your Google Scholar settings to show the FindIt@MU link for easy off-campus access to journal articles
Use VPN — but use it sparingly. Because of the heavy load to VPN across campus, it’s often quicker to use the links on our home page and proxy in to the library resources.
More information on Off-campus Access to Library Resources
Note: many libraries around the country are still closed or have very limited access to their print collections. You may experience delays with requests from other libraries.

Temporary access to more electronic journals and books:

Many publishers and vendors are lowering their paywalls during the outbreak and/or providing MU with additional electronic access due to our existing relationships with them. See our guide to temporary and expanded access.

Have something checked out from the Libraries?

If you have books checked out, please hang on to your books for later return.
The Libraries are suspending any billing and fines for overdue materials.

Libraries have a long tradition of providing faculty, students, and staff a welcoming space in which to gather, study, and think. With the unprecedented need to physically distance ourselves from one another while also remaining a connected community, it is difficult for us to close our doors to you. Fortunately, the Libraries also have decades of experience providing online and remote services, and we’re confident that we’ll get through this together.

Please keep in mind that Noël, Michelle, and Mara will be working remotely and that we, like you, are doing our best to take care of ourselves and our families in these strange times.
