I love Mizzou libraries because it provides many resources, a great place to study, Bookmark, and no one judges you if you have a mental breakdown at 11 pm on Tuesday - Cannotatedbib

@MUSpecColl [Special Collections] gave me the best internship I’ve ever had – the people, the work, and the education made Ellis one of my favorite places on Earth. - Brandi Bengston

I like the databases I can access and the helpful librarians on the chat for myself as a distance learner! - Chaney

I love Mizzou libraries because it’s such a welcoming environment. I can cry over my Capstone research project and everyone just *understands* (and the databases and helpful librarians) - Jillian Frasher

Without our amazing librarians faculty like me couldn’t do our jobs. Special shout outs to interlibrary loan, special collections, and the awesome negotiators who maintain our access to academic journals. Libraries are essential to research and teaching! Ps. #Fundthelibrary - Daniel A. Hoyt

#NationalLibraryWeek When I entered #Mizzou, as a first-generation college student, Ellis Library was this grand and hopeful and vital place. Thank you, @MizzouLibraries

The Chancellor’s update this week including a #MizzouMade story that was submitted by the Libraries. Thanks to Kate Wright at Engineering for sharing Elgin’s story!
If you didn’t get to listen to the Chancellor’s address on Tuesday, you can still do so. Towards the end of the address he talked about working with Ann Riley on the library of the future!

- One of our most popular recent Instagram posts demonstrates that the University Libraries and our followers value diversity.
- We are handing out free cell phone card holders, so students and faculty have a place to keep their ID when they are using Ellis Library after 10pm.

#MizzouMade Day on Jan. 19
On Friday, January 19, students, parents, family, staff, faculty, fans, and alumni are encouraged to wear their favorite organization’s gear throughout the day. This may be a student organization t-shirt, your favorite sport team’s gear, or anything else that demonstrates your passion for Mizzou! Use #MizzouMade on social media to share how involvement impacted your Mizzou experience.
The Libraries social media team will be sharing #MizzouMade stories that we have been gathering. We would also love to have photos of our librarians and staff wearing Mizzou gear, so we can share it on social media. (The new Libraries polos will be distributed at the All-Staff Meeting!) We will remind you on Thursday to wear your gear and on Friday to send us photos.
