Web Gateway Redesign Project Fall 2008

The Web Advisory Group (WAG) is redesigning the Libraries gateway page to emphasize library resources and to incorporate the new subject content management system, a LibX toolbar, a comments/suggestions blog and other features. WAG is asking all library staff who are interested to submit a design prototype for the gateway page to WAG by November 1. This work should be considered to be library-sanctioned release time subject to supervisor approval.

The complete outline of the redesign project along with guidelines for creating prototypes are available at

Coffee Mugs Available for Libraries Events

MU Libraries and MULSA have purchased 96 clear glass, footed, 8 oz. Irish coffee mugs to be used for Libraries events. MULSA has agreed to store the mugs, and the Greener MU Libraries Task Force members will assist with dish washing when the mugs are used for official Libraries events.

If you would like to use these mugs for one of your events, please contact Shannon Cary. If you are using the mugs for a social event, such as a shower, the event organizers will be responsible for making sure the dishes are washed and put back into storage.
