Journalism Door Replacement Project Expected to Start July 15
A renovation project to replace the Journalism Library’s main glass door with a door that meets the ADA requirements for accessibility is scheduled for July 15. The project is expected to be completed by August 12. This schedule is subject to change, and the Journalism Library will provide updates as needed.
During this time, the Journalism Library will be closed. All virtual services will be available, but the Journalism Library print collection will not be available for circulation because it will not be physically accessible. If you have any questions, contact Vera Elwood at velwood@missouri.edu.
