1. 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.
2. 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/

• UMKC Libraries’ research librarian and OER coordinator Scott Curtis was interviewed by the Kansas City Star. His Open Educational Resources guide is featured in the article and video. Our own open education and outreach librarian Grace Atkins partnered with him to make that guide, and they’re working together on the UM System’s Affordable & Open Educational Resources initiative. The A&OER grant program was announced today in an email from President Choi. Expect to see a great deal of publicity around this initiative.
• In other news, the Grand Reading Room made it to the front page of Reddit! 9,000+ upvotes!

• We need #MizzouMade student success stories. Do you have super successful student workers? Do you have student workers who went on to do great things after they graduated? Let us know. We would like to highlight these stories as Cycle of Success stories, but also as part of the campus-wide #MizzouMade stories. You can see example of these stories at https://news.missouri.edu/category/mizzou-made/. Please contact your Newshub reporter or a member of the Marketing Team (Grace, Kelli, Shannon, and Taira) if you have a student you would like to highlight. We will help contact the student and get the story written.

Over the last several years, the University of Missouri has adopted identity standards that relate to what we call ourselves and the images we use to represent the institution. To find a complete list of these rules, visit identity.missouri.edu.

Here are some key things to remember:

• We no longer use “Columbia” when referring to our campus, it is just the University of Missouri, MU, or Mizzou.
• Mizzou is to be used in informal situations or when students are the primary audience.
• The stacked MU is the primary logo for the University. There are strict rules about using the stacked MU.
• Each unit has their own unit signature. It is the stacked MU with the name of the unit and the University of Missouri.
• You can get the the Libraries’ unit signature from me. If you need anything printed with the unit signature, please make sure it has been approved by me or Printing Services.
• When referring to the Libraries, use University of Missouri Libraries in the first instance and use University Libraries after that. You may use Mizzou Libraries in informal situations, such as on social media.

If you have questions, please contact me.

Thanks,
Shannon Cary
