Hello all,
Welcome to the Spring edition of the Engineering Library & Technology Commons newsletter!
  • We have MOBIUS news (please read carefully and don’t be afraid to ask for help);
  • It’s Open Education Week & University Libraries are celebrating;
  • The Shamrock Tea is back for Engineering Week;
  • Mara’s Book Nook is my favorite part of this newsletter and I hope it’s yours, too!
It’s a chilly day in March, but the ELTC is open and students are studying, relaxing, chatting, and Michelle, Mara & I are so glad to see them here in the library. We know that library users tend to do better in their college careers, and though we’re proud of our digital resources, there’s just something about seeing our patrons in person that’s very special and unique.

Erin Go Bragh!
Michelle, Mara, & Noël (plus Harold)

Please Return MOBIUS Items to the Libraries Due to Disruption of Service

Please Return MOBIUS Items to the Libraries Due to Disruption of Service
Due to upcoming software changes to the UM System Libraries catalog, all campuses will need to temporarily suspend the borrowing and lending of materials through MOBIUS beginning April 15, 2022.

This disruption is expected to last for one year. You can use WorldCat to find books outside of our catalog and request them by using the ILL@MU link in WorldCat. Users can still receive materials from other libraries using the traditional Interlibrary Loan service.

Please return all MOBIUS items to the library by their due date.

If there are ever any materials you have difficulty locating or accessing, please let us know and we will work with you to ensure you get the resources you need!

Mara's Book Nook

Mara's Book Nook
Medieval Robots: Mechanism, Magic, Nature, and Art by E.R. Truitt. Medieval Robots recovers the forgotten history of fantastical, aspirational, and terrifying machines that captivated Europe in imagination and reality between the ninth and fourteenth centuries. E. R. Truitt traces the different forms of self-moving or self-sustaining manufactured objects from their earliest appearances in the Latin West through centuries of mechanical and literary invention. This original and wide-ranging study reveals the convergence of science, technology, and imagination in medieval culture and demonstrates the striking similarities between medieval and modern robotic and cybernetic visions.
