Your source for what's new at Mizzou Libraries
This year at UMLD, we are particularly thankful for E-Learning Librarian Navadeep Khanal and his talented team of Graduate Assistants for creating this short video on how to request materials from the Depository. The video was created using equipment available through the Libraries’ own Digital Media and Innovation Lab. For more information on either the Depository or the resources available from the Digital Media and Innovation Lab, please click on the included links.
On this week’s Inside Mizzou Podcast, E-Learning Librarian Nav Khanal and Library Information Specialist Courtney Gillie are interviewed by Chancellor Cartwight about Mizzou’s comprehensive learning resources and technologies available to students and faculty both inside and outside the classroom.

The University Libraries Undergraduate Research Contest recognizes and rewards outstanding research conducted by undergraduate students at the University of Missouri. Undergraduates in any discipline are invited to enter the contest, which will be judged by a cross-disciplinary panel of librarians.
One $500 scholarship, and one $250 scholarship will be awarded to an individual or group project. The winners will have their projects archived in MOspace, MU’s digital repository.
The research project can be a traditional research paper, a musical composition, a work of art, a video, a web page, or other creative work. It has to have been researched using the resources of the MU Libraries. The project will be judged primarily on sophistication of the research process and the materials used (as documented in the Research Process Statement).
Examples of projects:
The deadline for submission of all materials is January 31, 2020. Winners will be announced in February 2020.

This week is the annual Celebrate Ability Week on campus during which special events are planned celebrating disability awareness and culture at Mizzou. This is the fourth year the University Libraries have purchased a film and the public performance rights and partnered with the Disability Center to show a movie depicting a person with a disability.
The movie this year, Deej, is a Peabody award-winning documentary and listed on the American Library Association Film and Media Round Table 2019 list of Notable Videos for Adults. DJ (Deej) Savarese, is a non-speaking young man with autism. Abandoned by his birth parents and presumed incompetent, Deej found not only a loving family but also a life in words, which he types on a text-to-voice synthesizer. As he makes his way through high school and begins his journey at Oberlin College, he confronts the terrors of his past, society’s obstacles to inclusion, and the sometimes paralyzing beauty of his own senses.
In his advocacy on behalf of other nonspeaking autistics, he embraces filmmaking and poetry, and discovers what having a voice can truly mean.
Deej, (2017, dir. Robert Rooy) is 72 minutes and will be shown Wednesday, Oct 2nd, 8:00 pm in Memorial Union, Jesse Wrench Auditorium
