Health Sciences Library Book Display: Study of Medicine

Are you working or interested in the medical field? The library has numerous resources that can help you as you study medicine. Learn about the ethics of physician assisted suicide, assisted reproduction, medical error disclosure and discussing patient care. Ensure that you can communicate with all of your patients and learn basic health care phrases in common languages. Check out review books for boards or brush up on clinical procedures. Don't miss the health sciences library's new book display located on the second floor across from the information desk.

Need a break from studying medicine? Check out our Study Break guide.

Thank You, Student Fee Capital Improvement Committee

Mizzou Libraries would like to thank the Student Fee Capital Improvement Committee for funding new furniture for the computer and work areas on the first floor of Ellis Library. The furniture includes numerous much-needed chairs in the computer and work spaces on the first floor, with a few more yet to come.

This photo shows a work area near Government Documents that has been refreshed with new tables as well as chairs. The furniture was chosen to make collaborative work easier.

The Student Fee Capital Improvement Committee provided $50,000 of funding for this improvement project.

Thanks also to Mizzou Libraries staff who helped with the project, including Gwen Gray, who filed the SFCIC proposal; Ann Riley, who envisioned the collaborative space; Pat Jones and Kathy Peters, who helped select the furniture; and others who provided assistance with the project.

Team Zalk

Welcome, CVM Class of 2021! And Welcome Back, Everyone!

Check out the Zalk Library guide for VM-1s and 2s: https://libraryguides.missouri.edu/vm1.

Here, you’ll find the basics of how the library operates and information on the resources we have available for you.

Most importantly, we are here to help you succeed in vet school. Don’t hesitate to ask us a question.

Team Zalk
Kate Anderson: Librarian IV & Head. Ask Kate about searching the literature.
Laura Buck: Library Specialist, Sr. Ask Laura about circulation and reserves.
Sue Giger: Library Information Assistant. Ask Sue about InterLibrary Loan and Document Delivery.

Actually, ask any of us anything!

Friendly Reminders to Start Off the New Year:

  • The library is often the only quiet space in the building. Respect your classmate’s need for a quiet study area…don’t make us shush you.
  • Drinks in covered containers allowed. “Snack” foods allowed (think things that come out of a vending machine). “Meals”/messy/smelly/noisy food not allowed — really, eat your lunch in the Zou.
  • Keep it clean. If you do spill something, please let us know right away.
  • Don’t leave your stuff unattended.
  • Always have your badge on you.

If you teach at MU, Stephens College, Columbia College, or any of the surrounding schools, we'd like to invite you to explore Special Collections with your students this semester. As part of a class session in Special Collections, your students will have hands-on access to the most inspiring and intriguing materials the Libraries have to offer. And we librarians can make it easy for you by contributing presentations, helping to orient students to primary source research, creating customized course guides, and consulting with you on ideas for assignments or projects.

To help you get started, take a look at our Resources for Instructors Guide and browse our Teaching Spotlight for innovative ideas from your colleagues.  Ready to jump in?  Contact us for assignment or activity ideas, or go ahead and schedule a class session through our online form.

Construction on the Health Sciences Library 2nd Floor

Please pardon our noise the week of August 7th while we undergo a bit of a makeover. We are excited to announce that we will be turning an office space on the 2nd floor into new space for our users! The funding is from a combination of student fee funds and library gift funds.

Starting the week of August 7th, Campus Facilities will be taking down a portion of the wall to the left of the back wall Art Display, in order to create a wider opening to new study space. They will lay new carpet borders, and give the walls a new coat of paint and bring in study furnishings. This new study space will house PBL workstations from the newest PBL labs, as well as some new seating.

We are thrilled for this new study space, and we hope you will be too!

Assisted living is a growing area of care, and at some point, all will be impacted by assisted living as parents, grandparents, friends, and even you, age. Now is the time to learn about concepts like aging in place, and palliative care.

What are the most effective methods to nursing in senior care? Do you ever wonder how to manage the autonomy of the elderly with increased need for assistance? If you do, check out our new book display to learn more, located on the second floor of the health sciences library across from the information desk. All are available for check out.
