Pauline Pfeiffer Display and Presentation by Anthony Childress

Anthony Childress works as a graduate assistant in Arkansas State University’s Heritage Studies doctoral program at the Hemingway-Pfeiffer Museum and Educational Center in Piggott, Arkansas.
In May, they dedicated a new Pauline Pfeiffer traveling exhibit that is housed in the upstairs of our museum. As curator of the endeavor, Anthony’s focus zeroed in on Pfeiffer’s distinguished career as a reporter and editor before her marriage to Ernest Hemingway. Pfeiffer graduated from the University of Missouri with a journalism degree and moved on to claim bylines in newspapers across the United States and eventually landed in Paris, working for Vogue magazine after a stint with Vanity Fair.
Childress, a former journalist, says Pfeiffer’s story is one of great interest and felt, given her ties to Mizzou, that it would seem the ideal place to host the exhibit. It consists of three panels. The first panel is about her high school and collegiate days and a poem she published, the second panel features examples of her reporting news and features for daily papers and Vogue, and the third panel transitions into her role as Hemingway’s editor during their 13-year marriage.

Congrats to Our Instagram Takeover Winner!

Congratulations to Annie (Ningyuan) Hu!  Annie was selected as the Journalism Library’s Instagram Takeover winner.

In March, the Journalism Library wanted to hear from the students.  We encouraged students to submit a short video (no more than 15 seconds) to our Instagram telling us why they loved the library.  Annie submitted a great video, highlighting our space and equipment!  You can find her video here!

Annie is a senior Strategic Communication major who plans to work in fashion and/or beauty marketing.  She visits the library daily to study and checkout equipment.   When asked about the Journalism Library, Annie said “I like it, I love it! It makes me want to study here!”

A big thank you to Annie for her video!  Be sure to check us out on Instagram!

Fulbright Scholar Appreciates the Journalism Library Resources

By Christina Mascarenas

Going to America was more a dream than reality to Indah Setiwati; a 30 hour plane ride dream. Indah was the deputy editor for the Jakarta Post in Jakarta, Indonesia when she decided to make a change and apply to attend graduate school.

In the beginning, Indah only applied to local scholarships even though studying aboard is a goal for many Indonesians. Indah had her family to think about. Not wanting Indah to limit her academic potential, a friend encouraged Indah to apply for the Fulbright Foreign Student Program, a program that enables graduate students, young professionals and artists from abroad to study and conduct research in the United States. If Indah was accepted she would finally have her ticket to the United States.

After weighing the pros and cons, Indah decided to go for it and applied to four scholarships including the Fulbright program. One day, she was taking the train to work when she received an email telling her she was accepted into the Fulbright program. It was “surreal,” she said. “The Fulbright Scholarship is the most prestigious scholarship on earth.”

Indah did research to find the best journalism school in the U.S. that would fit her interest. She chose Missouri because it’s the best journalism school and was affordable with her Fulbright Scholarship.

According to Indah, the Journalism Library at Mizzou has knowledgeable librarians. “Sue is really helpful and resourceful,” she stated referring to Sue Schuermann, Senior Library Specialist. Sue took the time to show Indah how to do precise searches and search for specific journals. “She is very helpful. She is a great resource, all you have to do it ask,” she said.

When Indah needed a book that the library didn’t have Sue was able to purchase the book for the library. When it arrived two days later Indah borrowed it for the semester. Indah was especially grateful for the “really cool” interlibrary loan program is “really cool,” Indah said. When she wanted to read a particular book, she was asked if she’d like to read the PDF or the book, she chose both. She thought it was great to get the book in three days.

“Books in Indonesia are precious. They are like a treasure,” she said. “Especially children’s books, it’s really hard to get English children’s books in Indonesia, they are expensive.” In addition to the Journalism Library, she has used Ellis Library, and the Daniel Boone Regional Library. She said American libraries are great, “They are like wow.” In Indonesia, according to Indah, “If you want to get an affordable children’s English book. You have to go to a second-hand store. The upper-class Jakartans donate or sell their books to the second-hand stores. You can only find books at certain places.”

“I’m happier here to see the library resources,” she said. “Another cool thing about the library is you have access to the New York Times and other publications and you don’t have to spend your money to subscribe to them since the library already subscribes to them.”

How to avoid fines on equipment

We all know that everyone is busy and you don’t want to return equipment late and find out that you have fines for returning it late.

  • Look over our equipment page which tells you what we have to check out and what the check out times are.
  • Look over the equipment agreement form that you signed to be able to check out equipment.
  • You can always check your Merlin account online which tells you what you have checked out and when it’s due.
  • Create a calendar alert on your phone to tell you when items are due.
  • When checking out the equipment you can have the desk attendant show you on his/her checkout screen to see exactly when it’s due.
  • Watch your email for courtesy/overdue reminders and always check your spam folder.
  • If you can’t get back in time for when the equipment is due, call the library to get it extended 573-882-7502.  You can also contact Mary McFillen, Sue Schuermann, Danielle Wilson or Dorothy Carner.
  • If you do get fined for late equipment, remember that you will get charges for each piece of equipment you check out.  That can be several items on a camera kit.
  • Here are how fines work:
  • Fines for Reserve Books & Equipment

    Overdue Books on Reserve = $2/hr/book

    Overdue Equipment = $2/hr with $50 maximum

    Items not returned will need to be replaced with an exact replacement. Items not returned or replaced will result in a replacement cost and loss of MU Library checkout privileges and if replacement costs are high enough and you do not respond to emails about overdue or billed equipment, you can have a report filed on you at the Student Conduct Center. Always answer any emails about overdue equipment. Equipment must be returned or replaced. Fines can be negotiated on request.

    Returning Overdue Reserve/Equipment Items Will Not Remove Fines
