University Libraries Undergraduate Research Contest Call for Submissions
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:
- A set design for theater where the student researched period-appropriate furniture, lighting, and architecture to create the perfect backdrop
- A documentary film for class that researches the history of race relations at MU using library and archive materials
- Composition of a piece of music created in the style of a famous composer informed by research into their style, skills, etc. through library materials
- A business plan for a new company or product showing market need, demographics of customers, patents, design, etc. informed by research using library materials
- A political science paper comparing the rise of fascism today with that in the early 20th century
- A parody of a famous piece of literature or any original piece of fiction for which the author did library research for their setting, criticisms, etc.
The deadline for submission of all materials is January 31, 2020. Winners will be announced in February 2020.

Libraries Buy Deej Performance Rights for the 2019 Celebrate Ability Week
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
Watch trailer.
