MU Libraries and Librarians are here to help you navigate this new stage in your research journey!
A renovation project to replace the Journalism Library’s main glass door with a door that meets the ADA requirements for accessibility is scheduled for July 15. The project is expected to be completed by August 12. This schedule is subject to change, and the Journalism Library will provide updates as needed.
During this time, the Journalism Library will be closed. All virtual services will be available, but the Journalism Library print collection will not be available for circulation because it will not be physically accessible. If you have any questions, contact Vera Elwood at velwood@missouri.edu.
The Visual Art and Design Showcase (VADS) is a venue for Mizzou undergraduate students to display and discuss their scholarly work in an exhibition setting. One of the awards for the yearly VADS is the MU Libraries Award. The MU Libraries Award winners work is featured in an exhibit display on the main floor of the Ellis Library. The 2024 winner is Jae Cowen, who created the pop-up book, Our Amazing Planet.
