Supporting Online Instruction

The University Libraries are here to support your instruction while classes are being conducted online. Our subject librarians remain available to work with faculty to deliver instruction on information literacy and research practices, including through the use of Zoom for group instruction and individual consultations with students via MU Connect, and to ensure that materials are made available through our e-reserves system.

  • Instructional Resources: A collection of tutorials, videos, modules and more, created and curated by MU librarians. Faculty in need of instructional resources tailored to their individual needs can place a request for new materials through the Instructional Resources page.
  • MERLOTOER Commons, and CORA: These repositories connect instructors with a variety of open educational resources, such as videos, modules and assignments that instructors can use.
  • Resources for Moving Writing Intensive (WI) Classes Online: While compiled with WI faculty in mind, this list curated by MU’s Campus Writing Program will be of interest to all instructors who are transitioning to online teaching.
  • Rule of 2’s – Keeping It Simple as you Go Remote for COVID-19: Designed by the Open Learning & Teaching Collaborative at Plymouth State University, this exercise guides faculty through the process of identifying the key principles, tools, content, skills and activities around which a rapidly transitioned online class should be built.
  • Privacy for Online Teaching: Helpful tips from the Library Freedom Project for protecting student privacy in online classes.

home Resources and Services University Libraries Fiscal Year 2020 Journal Cancellations

University Libraries Fiscal Year 2020 Journal Cancellations

The University Libraries are committed to maintaining a large and diverse collection of journals to support scholarship and teaching at the University of Missouri. The current cost models for journal subscriptions require an average 6% increase per year to maintain current subscriptions. As a result, we must plan to cancel titles each year even when our budget remains flat.  To minimize the impact of these cancelations, we focused on journals which received very low usage and/or are accessible through a current journal aggregator such as EBSCO or ProQuest.  Interlibrary Loan (ILL) will remain an effective, efficient means of acquiring materials not held by the Libraries.  Most articles requested via ILL are received within one to two business days.

For a list of the cancellations and more information, visit Libraries’ Collection Development and Management.
