The Marketing Team has created a marketing calendar that consists of regularly occurring events throughout the year that we want to keep in mind for marketing purposes. These include local events (e.g. True/False), national month/day observances (e.g. Human Rights Day), and some library specific events (e.g. Open Access Week). We can market library resources/services/events during these times to have more impact.
The 2018-2019 Marketing Calendar is now available on the staff web page. Please contact Shannon Cary at carysn@missouri.edu if you have suggestions for the calendar.

By now many of you have received notification you are getting salary increases. Many of you have not received notification, which means your salary will be the same continuing through August of 2019. Whether you received a raise or not, I want to thank for another year of service to the libraries, and encourage you with the knowledge that we are working to improve salaries for all.
Deciding how to assign raises was especially difficult this year. The Libraries received a small raise pool from the University Budget Office, which we had not for about five years previously. We also received separate, earmarked funding from the Provost’s Office for the promotion raises for librarians being promoted from Librarian II to III and III to IV. These promotion amounts are set by the Provost’s Office each year. Campus Human Resources emphasized we could not give a set percentage to everyone.
In assigning raises, the LMT looked at meritorious performance, time in rank, compression, rate penetration within rank and the ARL salary survey. We did the best we could to do an equitable distribution. We looked at all categories of employees.
As fall arrives and football begins, we know that campus life is picking up, and more students every day are visiting our libraries. We are all committed to helping make their student experiences good one. Thanks for all you do that contributes to the quality of the MU educational experience.

The new site for Library Instruction Services is now live: http://library.missouri.edu/instruction/ . The old link for on LibGuides “Events, Classes, Workshops” will redirect to the new page. You can send questions and comments to Joe Askins, Head of Instructional Services.
Accordingly, the menu on the Libraries websites (and guides) have changed slightly to reflect this update.
Also, users can access our new Workshops page at the easy-to-remember URL, http://library.missouri.edu/workshops. There, they can browse and register for upcoming workshops, view archived recordings of past workshops and request workshops.
This new URL will gradually replace the old, hard-to-remember tinyurl address on our marketing materials.
Thanks to Nav (and Dylan and Alora) for putting a lot of time and effort into getting these pages up and running.
