It’s with mixed emotions that I share that Rae Thudium’s last day with the University of Missouri Libraries is Wednesday, December 11th. She has accepted the position of Head of Veterinary Libraries at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. Rae will definitely be missed here at Mizzou and she has made such a positive impact during her time as Head of the Zalk Veterinary Medical Library since 2021. Please join me in wishing Rae well on her new adventure at Penn. I am working to develop a plan for covering the Vet Med Library so more details to be announced.

Dear Colleagues,
The time has arrived! Our new Vice Provost for Libraries and University Librarian, Kara Whatley, will begin work with us this coming Monday, September 16th.
I shared in our August All Staff meeting that Kara will be meeting with direct reports when she gets to campus and is eager to connect with all our units and departments. She is looking forward to meeting everyone and getting to know people by name. Kara encourages everyone to say hello and introduce themselves when they see her.
It has been a pleasure to serve as the Interim VP for Libraires. The experience has certainly proven to me that there is always more to learn about the good work we are doing in our libraries and the processes that enable that good work to happen. Thank you to everyone for working together to keep our operations running smoothly during this transition period.
This is an exciting time for the University of Missouri Libraries. It is a time to think optimistically about how we can best serve the University of Missouri now and in the future. I look forward to continuing work with all of you in my role as Associate University Librarian for Research, Access, and Instructional Services as we enter a new era for the University of Missouri Libraries.
All the best,
Jeannette
We will be hosting our annual Ellis Library Open House after the Homecoming Parade on Oct. 19. The event will be from 10 a.m. to noon, and we will also need some help with set up starting around 9 a.m. It’s always a fun event, we provide snacks and drinks, plus family-friendly activities, such as button-making and decorating mini pumpkins.
If you can help out (please check with your supervisor first), please let me know by the end of this week.
