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!

Hope you were following the Libraries’ social media accounts on MO Libraries Snapshot Day! Here’s a glimpse of the photos of our librarians and staff at work.
#MOLibraries Snapshot Day, which was on Jan. 24, is a social media activity designed by the Missouri Library Association to advocate for libraries through increased visibility using the hashtag #MOLibraries.
The statewide collection of library snapshots can be found at https://storify.com/MOlibraries.

Check out our latest #MizzouMade story “Taking Advantage of Resources” on the Mizzou Made website.
#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.

We are often surprised by what posts and tweets our social media followers respond to the most. Last week a story from Access Services about an overdue book, sparked a lot of interest on Facebook. Thanks to Charlotte Landreth for posting this story.

- We have our first Libraries’ Mizzou Made story on the campus Mizzou Made page. Mizzou Made stories are what we call Cycle of Success stories, but specifically focusing on students. You can see the story on the Newshub: http://library.missouri.edu/news/lottes-health-sciences-library/mizzou-opens-up-horizons and the Mizzou Made page: https://news.missouri.edu/category/mizzou-made/. We have more of these success stories of current and past students in the works, including our most recent Undergraduate Research Contest winner. Please along any student success stories you have to your Newshub reporters. Also, I want to thank all of the Marketing Team for their work in thinking about how we can best share the story of the Libraries’ impact on students, but I especially want to thank Taira Meadowcroft who worked to get the content together for the first three Mizzou Made stories we are publishing.
- Dr. David Crespy gave us a really nice write-up on the University of Missouri Press blog. https://missouribooks.wordpress.com/2017/11/10/the-lanford-wilson-collection-at-mu-libraries-special-collections-and-rare-books/
