The Newshub Guide has been recently updated: https://libraryguides.missouri.edu/NewsHub

It is for all library employees and newshub reporters. If you are not a newshub reporter, it gives you background on what the newshub can do for you, how to help your newshub reporter with creating content, your part in the Cycles of Success, and gives a list of all the newshub reporters.

There is a link for this guide on the staff webpage.

If you have any questions, send them our way.

We are looking for volunteers to help create content for the Mizzou Libraries Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mizzou.libraries/ .

What would you need to do as an Instagram creator? Good question.

• Post on your scheduled day. Right now we have a few volunteers and they post once every 7 days.
• Show all the sides of the library. We have great content of new books, Ellis from back in the day, Book Face, behind the scenes of the library, and really anything to show the fun side of the library. Check out the Instagram to see what we’ve posted all year.

Don’t want to be a content creator, but still want to submit pictures? Great! Send your pictures to me.

We are also looking for pictures of you on vacation this summer. Send me fun pictures of places you visit, cool things you did, and even your staycation pictures. They don’t have to be pictures of you visiting another library, but those are also appreciated.  You can take a look at other #LibrariansOnVacation for ideas: https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/librariansonvacation/

Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

  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

  @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.

  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

  I love the stacks with the ladders I can use and feel like Belle. Also, all the great study nooks and wonderful librarians to ask for help!
• Leah Glenn

  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

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