A quick note to solicit topic ideas for our Library Forum program. The Library Issues Forum provides an opportunity to learn about and discuss broad current and future trends facing libraries today. The typical format will consist of a presentation on a topic affecting the library community (MU Libraries, state, national, or international), followed by a time for discussion by participants. Forums may address (but are not limited to) issues involving multiple library departments, issues in which a large user base is concerned, and issues needing open discussion and broad input. The purposes of the forums are to bring up ideas, innovations, and solutions to problems. Please send your ideas to Leo Agnew.
The UM System has modified the Family Sick Leave policy in response to the H1N1 flu. Traditionally, the policy sets a maximum of 12 days of family sick leave per calendar year. However, the University is making an exception and allowing individuals to report more than 12 days of family sick leave in a calendar year if it’s related to the H1N1 flu.
The Diversity Action Committee has created the following exhibits for Banned Book Week, which is September 26−October 3, 2009.
The west free standing display case currently houses books that were banned or attempts were made to ban them. This particular set of books is contributed by Special Collections. The display will run through the end of October.
Banned books from our own stacks will be featured on a shelf in the new book area. Stop and browse…you may be surprised at what you see there.
Information on more events coming soon.

In an effort to prevent the spread of the H1N1 flu and seasonal flu, Campus Facilities has purchased personal-sized, 2-ounce containers of alcohol-based hand sanitizer for staff. Ellis Library received a limited number (1 bottle per person) of sanitizer. The sanitizer will be available for interested staff during the week of September 21-25, 2009 in the Ellis Library Security Office, Room 93 Ellis Library. On an additional note Campus Facilities has installed alcohol-based hand-sanitizer dispensers throughout Ellis Library and other buildings on campus. Thank you for doing your part in helping prevent the spread of the H1N1 flu and seasonal flu.

MU professor Ingolf Gruen made the following comment in repsonse to a blog post at Inside Higher Ed about accessing library Web pages from university home pages:
Although I have encountered students’ “library, what library?” attitude many times, I do believe the link to our library from the university home page is very visible and two clicks gets you to the libraries’ homepage http://mulibraries.missouri.edu/, which has info such as hours etc. right there on the page (the first click gets you to a page that has all the MU libraries listed). Maybe there are even better ones, but I think it is quite straight forward.
