New Study Space at the Health Sciences Library

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!

home J. Otto Lottes Health Sciences Library, Resources and Services Heads up! PubMed Changes Coming in 2020

Heads up! PubMed Changes Coming in 2020

PubMed will be getting a new look in 2020. You should see major improvements to how PubMed looks and performs, both on your desktop and mobile devices.

Read more about the changes.

You can preview the new interface at PubMed Labs.

The current timeline is for PubMed to be switched to the new version in 2020. Old and new PubMed will run concurrently for a few months, and then old PubMed will be retired at the end of the year.

Of course, these dates could change and we will keep you updated.
