The Health Sciences Library will celebrate the University Libraries Centennial with a come-and-go event on Thursday, October 15, 11:30 AM – 1:00 PM. Please join us in the library for food, fun and prizes. We'll be glad to see you, even if you can only stay for a few minutes. Please come as you are, and stay as you can, to help us celebrate the University Libraries' Centennial, Medical Librarians Month, and the anniversary of J. Otto Lottes' birthday. We will celebrate together the ways in which information content and services strengthen Mizzou. We hope to see you there!

Copyright Conundrums
Oct. 9 1:00 – 2:00 p.m.
Copyright raises many questions: What can I use freely? When do I need to get permission? What is covered by copyright? How do I protect my intellectual property? This workshop will provide an overview of U.S. copyright law in the academic setting and point the way to resources that help in making decisions and knowing when to seek legal advice.

Relaxed checkout rules for some textbooks
Starting now, if we have an online version of a textbook, we’ll let you check out the paper copy just as you would any other book.
Previously, these books could only be used inside the library.
The only core textbooks remaining on 4 hour reserve behind the Circulation Desk are the ones that aren’t available online, or that faculty have specifically requested remain there.
You asked, we listened: new bottle-filler drinking fountain
