As we approach the end of the Fall 2018 semester, I wanted to remind everyone that you must have pre-authorization to access the building when Ellis Library is locked. This new security measure was announced at the All-Staff Meeting in Sep 2018. Please be sure to check the building hours on our website at http://library.missouri.edu as you plan your intercession work schedule.
Winter Intercession is our first long-term implementation of this new security measure. Please be sure to check the building hours on our website at http://library.missouri.edu as you plan your intercession work schedule.
Change in Access for Ellis Library
- When Ellis Library is locked, you must request pre-authorization to access the building.
- The North and West doors will unlock 15 minutes before posted Library Hours and stay unlocked for 15 minutes after posted Library Hours. Pre-authorization is not needed for staff entry/exit at those times; only during locked hours.
- If you need access to Ellis Library when the doors are locked, send an email request to your supervisor and to Pat Jones. Be sure to:
- Indicate the date(s) and time(s) that you need access.
- State the nature of the work to be conducted while you are in the building.
- Upon entry/exit, you MUST confirm that the door is securely locked behind you. It only takes a moment to push or pull the door for confirmation.
