Registration is Open for the Missouri Affordable and Open Educational Resources Symposium

By Shannon Cary Posted in Events and Exhibits

Posted on February 22, 2021March 2, 2021

Registration is now open for the 2021 Missouri Affordable and Open Educational Resources Symposium. This year’s event will be held virtually and is free to all attendees.

The theme of this year’s Symposium will be centered around the idea of CARE, an acronym for Collaborating and Adapting/Adopting Resources for Equity. We would like to explore how the A&OER community cares for others by advocating for accessibility and equity of materials. With many conference themes centered around Covid-19 and its impact on students and faculty, we thought we would take this concept one step further and explore how the use of A&OER can address the issues of unequal access to educational materials on college campuses that have become so apparent during the pandemic. This theme is inspired by the importance of using Affordable and Open Educational Resources as a means to champion social equity by ensuring accessibility of materials to all students.

The Symposium will be held virtually on March 3 – 5, 2021. Click here to view the schedule and register today!

What the Collections Cuts Mean for You at the Health Sciences Library

By Taira Meadowcroft Posted in Budget J. Otto Lottes Health Sciences Library Resources and Services

Posted on January 15, 2021February 5, 2021

This year, the campus is facing the task of reducing our journal costs by $1.2 million for FY2021, which amounts to a 20% reduction compounded by additional subscription cuts at the UM System level.

What does this mean for you?

We will be able to retain access to most of the high use journals, and the highly ranked journals with impact factors in the top quartile.
We will need to substitute interlibrary loan & pay per view for some of the most expensive journals, especially the ones costing $10,000/year or more.
The library will pay to get any articles you need in journals outside of our subscriptions. The button provides the most convenient way to request articles. You can also submit article requests using this form.

Click here to learn more about our data driven approach to these collections cuts.
