On December 20, 2008, Judy Maseles, head of the Engineering Library and Technology Commons (ELTC), accepted an award on behalf of the ELTC staff at the College of Engineering Graduation Ceremony. The award, which was presented by the Dean on behalf of the students of the College, was “For exceptional professional service rendered to the students of the University of Missouri College of Engineering from January 1992 to December 2008.”
The certificate awarded to the ELTC staff reads, “Your understanding of the problems and concerns that are unique to engineering students has enhanced their learning experiences, bolstered their career opportunities and quality of life at the College of Engineering. This accomplishment has also enabled the College of Engineering to increase student retention and graduation rates as well as enhance their learning experience.”
Congratulations to Judy, Michelle Bagget and Nora Tamm!

Ellis Library has a new express printing station, which is located at the column by the West Reference Desk. This workstation is for printing only and does not require a login. Users will be able to access Word, Powerpoint, Excel and MU Web sites, including MU webmail, ERes and Blackboard. Thumb drives/flash drives can be used.
Library staff will monitor the station to make sure that is only used for printing.

This month the MULSA Board has initiated the Staff Spotlight Award, meant to recognize our co-workers for all they do to promote the mission and goals of MU Libraries—just by doing their jobs.
Recipients names will be drawn randomly on a monthly basis (one Ellis, one branch). If your name is drawn you will be contacted for permission to recognize you in this way. Participate as much or as little as you are comfortable with.
Our inaugural recipients for the monthly Staff Spotlight Award are: Nina Johnson and Ruth Feldkamp.
Nina Johnson works in the Columbia Missourian Newspaper Library, and has worked for MU Libraries since August 1997.
Ruth Feldkamp works at Ellis Library in the Physical Processing & Preservation Unit. She began working for MU Libraries as a student in 2005, then became full-time staff in 2007.
To read more about either or both of our Spotlight Award recipients, see the article in the MUSEblog at http://mulibraries.missouri.edu/muse.
