This is an incredibly useful website for any IT questions or issues. The home page has links to useful information about everything from password problems to connecting to the wireless internet. There is also an option to search the website for specific questions or problems, as well as an announcements section to let everyone know if there are any system issues. If you go to the Find Answers tab you can browse through different categories to find answers for IT problems, you can find links to the websites of all of the Support Centers on campus. You can also log in to the page using your User ID (or Username) and Password to see more search results, as well as records of any questions you’ve had for Help Desk, or DoIT in the past. This is a great first step in trying to solve any IT problems you might encounter!

The MULSA Muse main site is available at http://mulibraries.missouri.edu/muse/
Submissions are always welcome! Send them to Abbie Brown (brownab@missouri.edu).
The MU libraries will migrate from the Outlook calendar system for scheduling meeting rooms to the Meeting Room Booking System (which we now use for the study room reservations). The Ellis Library Room Reservations System will go live on Monday and is located on the staff web page: http://mulibraries.missouri.edu/secure/eventplanning/.
Please read the guidelines for reserving rooms, which will also be linked from the staff page. If you have any questions, contact Shannon Cary or Mark Ellis.
You will have until the end of July to move meetings from the Outlook calendar room reservation system to the new Ellis Library Room Reservation System.
If you did not get to attend ALA this year, or if you did but were unable to attend sessions you wanted, you now have an opportunity to virtually attend some of the ALA 2012 conference. The MU Libraries have registered for a group account, and so you may come and go to any of the sessions you wish, and you do not need to individually register. View the two-day program to determine which sessions you want to attend.
Virtual ALA Conference
Wed-Thurs, July 18-19, 8:30am–6:00pm CST
Ellis Library, Room 4F51-A
Questions?: Contact Cindy Cotner
