National Library Week and National Librarian Day
Last week was National Library Week and we were featured on the main Mizzou social media channels. You can see what they shared if you click through the Mizzou Libraries instagram highlights called Library Week.
Today is National Librarian Day and Mizzou Engineering thanked Mara, Michelle, and Noel on their social media for all the hard work they do. Here is a cool tweet thread from Mizzou Engineering: https://twitter.com/mizzouengineer/status/1383094713725571074
The marketing team also did some social media for national librarian day. Thank you for all that you do for Mizzou Libraries!
Cycle of Success: Inge Creates DOE Index
Mara Inge, a senior library information specialist in the Engineering Library and Technology Commons (ELTC), has created a master index of all 36,729 conference proceedings titles from the Engineering Library and Technology Commons’ Department of Energy (DOE) uncatalogued microfiche collection. Prior to Mara’s project, the only way to locate a fiche was to look for a title in the Office of Scientific and Technical Information’s (OSTI) database of DOE information, visit ELTC or another library with DOE fiche, open a cabinet drawer, and start searching. Stephen Pryor, digital scholarship librarian, provided technical assistance with the project.
In addition to all of the titles that she entered into the index, Mara also entered metadata for proceedings not previously in the OSTI database—about 1104 titles that, for all practical purposes, were not findable online at all. Her work is a wonderful way to promote this hidden collection.
The MU Libraries plan to make the index available for searching; meanwhile, please email Mara at englib@missouri.edu with any questions about DOE conference proceedings.

We are looking for social media ambassadors to post about Mizzou Libraries, on their social media, 1-2 times that week. Very low time commitment and super easy. Those who participate will receive specials edition Mizzou Libraries stickers and buttons.
If you are interested, send Taira (meadowcroftt@health.missouri.edu) or Shannon (carysn@missouri.edu) an email. We will send volunteers more info about what to do next week.
