We recently discovered that the Ovid Ask-A-Librarian feature has not been working. Any messages sent through that feature were not being received by the libraries.

We are currently looking into the issue, but in the meantime, have rerouted those submissions to a working email. We apologize for any inconvenience.

With Dr. Choi’s recent announcement of the University of Missouri System’s recent commitment to adopt OER to reduce the cost of textbooks and course materials, the Health Sciences Library is ready to help our faculty find appropriate resources for their courses.

MedEdPortal is a good starting point for locating open educational materials in medicine and the health sciences. Reach out to Taira Meadowcroft if you are interested in incorporating OER in your courses.

Health Sciences Library Book Display: Crime Fiction

Did you know reading crime fiction can be beneficial? The strong narrative becomes a distraction allowing patients to relate to events from a distance, with power and control over the situation. Check out Natasha Cooper’s story about a new mom whose obstetrician is murdered. Read about an ex-military sniper who becomes enthralled in the Kennedy shooting and unravels a huge conspiracy.

Visit the second floor of the Health Sciences Library to learn more about the health benefits of crime fiction or pick a Halloween read!

Shape the Future of Your University Libraries

By Shannon Cary   Posted in Resources and Services

Please help the University Libraries by participating in a survey about the impact of library resources and services on your research, publishing, and teaching practices at MU. Your answers will help the library plan for the right strategy and mix of services to carry forward into the future. Faculty, academic/research staff, and graduate students will receive an email on Monday, October 2, with a link to the survey. The survey will be open until Friday, October 27.

This research study is being conducted by the University of Missouri Libraries in partnership with Ithaka S+R, a non-profit educational research organization. Thanks to this partnership, we will gain a clear picture of library use here at MU and will have the opportunity to compare our situation with other colleges and universities nationally.

Thank you in advance for your time and cooperation. We need to hear from you as we plan for the future.

If you have any comments or questions, please contact us at libsurveys@missouri.edu.
