Art by Lisa Brooke on Display in Health Sciences Library

By Terri Hall   Posted in Events and Exhibits J. Otto Lottes Health Sciences Library
Posted on

The paintings and drawings by Lisa Brooke currently on display in the library have viewers commenting “I thought they were photos” and as one viewer added, “they look better than photos!”

These must-see artworks are done in acrylic or colored pencil. Each has an authentic look that has much to do with the carefully chosen colors and the exquisite fine detail work. Take a good look at the feathers on the roosters and other birds. Notice the execution of drifted snow, melting snow, the colors of the snow applied to show reflected sunlight and shadows. Find how well the rabbit and quail prey in the pictures blend in with their surroundings, just as in life. In addition to depicting wildlife, Lisa enjoys making portraits of people and of pets.

 

We are pleased to host this display through the end of January 2020. To see more artworks by Lisa visit her Facebook page “Art by Lisa Brooke”.

Using the Health Sciences Library From Off Campus

If you find yourself off campus and need access to the Health Sciences Library, we’ve got you covered. If you access articles, databases, and other electronic resources through our library website, no special steps are necessary. You will be prompted to log in with your pawprint and password and once logged in, you are good to go.

You also have the option to use the University of Missouri’s VPN service. This service is useful if you regularly use library resources from off-campus from the same computer. The VPN system is available for free and installing is easy. Visit https://anyconnect.missouri.edu to learn how to download the program.

For items the library only has in print, there’s no need to come into the library (unless you really do want to visit us). You can request a pdf copy of the article or book chapter through our Scan and Deliver service.

As always, librarians are available to assist you through email, chat, and phone. Need more in depth research help? You can schedule an online research consultation by emailing asklibrary@health.missouri.edu or scheduling an appointment through MUConnect.

New Study Space at the Health Sciences Library

By Taira Meadowcroft   Posted in J. Otto Lottes Health Sciences Library Resources and Services Staff news
Posted on

Last summer, we started the process of removing the old information desk to create a new student space. Throughout the year, we’ve asked for student input from what they’d like to see in the space to voting on specific furniture types.

We are happy to announce that the new comfy seating area is finally up and running! A good portion of the new furniture was delivered and we are finalizing the setup of the new lounge area, so don’t be surprised if you see different iterations of the space in the coming weeks.

Thank you for your comments, ideas, and votes throughout the year. We hope you enjoy your new space!

The furniture was funded by the Enhance Mizzou Student Fee

Welcome to David Merz!

We are pleased to welcome David Merz to the Health Sciences Library! David joined us this summer, working in the circulation department.

A St. Louis native, David currently studying Library and Information Science at Mizzou, expecting to graduate in May 2020. When he isn’t working or studying, he enjoys painting (miniatures mostly), discussing concepts in philosophy, and going for extended bike rides.

When asked why he liked libraries, David said “I have had a deep affection for reading and for learning new things for as long as I can remember, so it’s no real surprise that a life-long learner would be drawn to an institution that houses knowledge.”

Welcome to the Health Sciences Library team, David!
