JSTOR is a full-text database with thousands of journals relevant to the humanities, social sciences, sciences, and mathematics. In this webinar, we will discuss the content of the database, tips for advanced searching, using subject guides, and other tools for research available in JSTOR.
Hosted by Bradley Fuller, Graduate Research Assistant, University of Missouri Libraries.
This year’s MU Remembers ceremony, commemorating students who have passed away in the last year, was held virtually on September 4. A book in honor of each student will be added to the University of Missouri Libraries’ collection.

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.
For hobbyists, learn about braided rugs, sewed rugs, crocheted rugs, woven rugs, knitted rugs and hooked rugs.
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.
At the Mizzou Libraries, we are concerned about the health and safety of our Tiger community. Part of that effort is creating a culture of awareness by requiring faculty, staff and students to monitor their health daily. The practice is also recommended for visitors. Now, self-monitoring is made easier with #CampusClear.
#CampusClear is a self-screening mobile application designed to support campus community members as they monitor their day-to-day health and respond to potential COVID-19 symptoms. #CampusClear provides a daily push notification and self-monitoring only takes a few seconds. The app will also act as a pass to provide students, faculty and staff access to designated locations in the future.
To help with social distancing and the need to take classes online, all reservable study rooms are now designated for individual use only. Reservations are for two-hours and each student can have one active reservation at a time. As soon as that reservation is complete or canceled, a new reservation can be made. You can find out more about available study rooms in Ellis Library at:
For now, the Libraries encourage group study to happen online. Please do not add or remove chairs from study rooms. Further, the Libraries are following University guidelines and requiring the use of face coverings in all library spaces including study rooms.
The only exception to this policy is when seated and eating on the lower level, or when scheduled to film or record in the Digital Media & Innovation Lab.
September is Disability Culture Month at Mizzou. For the past few years, the University Libraries have partnered with the Disability Center to purchase a movie that depicts a person with a disability. Below are some of the movies about disability that you can access through the Libraries.
Here are some more relevant resources at Mizzou Libraries:

University of Missouri Libraries is hosting a series* of Software Carpentry and Data Carpentry workshops online for Fall 2020. These hands-on workshops will focus on basic concepts and skills to help researchers perform their work in less time and with less pain with code (Python or R), version control, data management, and task automation. Participants will be encouraged to help one another and to apply what they have learned to their own research problems. Pre-registration is required.
Specific tools covered (no prior experience necessary) will be:
*Scheduling note: a full Software Carpentry workshop is usually 2 days face-to-face, covering Shell, Git, and Python or R. We have temporarily moved these workshops online and have separated the lessons into shorter, weekly afternoon sessions. To receive the content equivalent to a full workshop, please register for a session of each lesson (Shell, Git, and Python or R) from the workshop calendar. More detailed scheduling information is available on each workshop registration page.
Please visit https://libcal.missouri.edu/calendar/workshops/?cid=35&ct=48115 for dates, information, and registration.
Thursday, October 1
3-4 p.m.
Presenter: David Parsons, Elsevier Publishing
Please join MU Libraries and Elsevier Publishing as we explore how to learn about aspects of a manuscript that editors, reviewers and publishers look at critically; how to understand what editors and publishers are looking for, before and during the peer review process; and learn how to respond to referee and reviewer comments, aka the art of the polite rebuttal.
Registration for online attendance: https://libcal.missouri.edu/event/7020162
Users will receive a Zoom link and password by email. The workships will be recorded and posted online for anyone who can’t attend live.
