Making New and Improved Space for You at the Health Sciences Library

By Taira Meadowcroft   Posted in J. Otto Lottes Health Sciences Library
Posted on

Over the summer, you might have noticed the Health Sciences Library moved to a single service desk. This means that we can free up more study and research space for you!

In a student survey, our students asked for soft seating areas to make for comfortable studying and research. It has always been our library’s goal to serve our users; and, we work toward providing the best service we can give. This includes both research help and study space.

With more and more questions being answered virtually through chat and email, consolidating to one desk was the natural step toward the library of the future. It’s very early in the planning stages and we will keep you updated.

If you find yourself visiting the library, please add your ideas to our idea board. We want to hear your ideas, big or small!

Health Sciences Library Wish List 2018: Books

By Taira Meadowcroft   Posted in J. Otto Lottes Health Sciences Library Resources and Services Support the Libraries
Posted on

The health sciences librarians  listed 100 of our “Most Wanted” books on the 2018 University Libraries book wish list. For as little as $22, you can help our continued mission of supporting health sciences teaching and research at MU.

To view the full list of titles we would have loved to purchase, please visit library.missouri.edu/giving/wishlist

In spring of 2017, MU librarians created a wish list of over 400 titles that would enhance teaching and research, but that could not be purchased due to fiscal restraints. The response from alumni and friends exceeded our highest expectations. Fifty-six donors purchased 105 books and electronic book collections, totaling $22,270 in gifts.

Don’t see anything here that appeals to you? Let us know what you’re interested in at asklibrary@health.missouri.edu
