The National Library of Medicine (NLM) announces the relaunch of the NLM Dataset Catalog, a centralized, searchable platform designed to connect researchers with a vast array of biomedical datasets from multiple repositories, thus accelerating scientific research. Powered by NLM’s Dataset Metadata Model (DATMM), researchers can now effortlessly explore over 2 million biomedical datasets in one centralized location and uncover data interconnections within the broader biomedical ecosystem.

Please visit the NLM Dataset Catalog for more information or reach out to your MU Medical Librarians if you have questions.

Veterinary Medical Library Space Project

Veterinary Medical Library Space Project

The Zalk Veterinary Medical Library is undergoing an exciting transformation. Over the next six months, the library team will relocate thousands of infrequently used items to the UM Libraries Depository (UMLD). UMLD is a facility near campus that is designed to provide high-density storage in a climate-controlled environment.

There are two primary benefits to the project: long-term preservation of the library materials and an expansion of student study space. As the only veterinary library in the state, ensuring the longevity of the collection is a high priority. The books and journals will be housed in an environment designed to prevent deterioration and mold. Additionally, the decrease in shelving units will allow for double the amount of tables available for student use. As the College of Veterinary Medicine’s program continues to grow and thrive, the library can better serve as a dedicated study space to support student success.

And don’t worry: all relocated items will still be requested through the library catalog and picked up on campus!
