Communication Audit Group – brief update

Posted on by

The Communication Audit Group formed in MULAC (Abbie Brown, Rachel Brekhus, Cindy Cotner) has added staff members (PT Martin, Karla Geerlings, Shannon Cary) and met January 29 to outline the information we’ll present to a graduate student or Honors Thesis undergraduate, in case one takes on our communication audit this semester. We hope to know in the next month if a student will be working with us, and meet with that student promptly.

MUPD will be delivering Active Shooter Training for MU Library staff on Wednesday, March 25, from 6-10pm. There will be both a classroom and an active part to the training. This session is limited to 25 people. Please contact Sheryl Cullina if you are interested in attending.

Mizzou Cares Crisis Resource Line

Mizzou Cares Crisis Resource Line has recently been created (882-3970).  By calling one number and listening to the prompts, you will be able to press the prompts you need such as the non-emergency lines for CPD and MU Police, the Counseling Center and the Employee Assistance Program,  the At-Risk Committee, the Title IX office, and Student Health.   Please note – this is simply a phone tree line that can help you get to the correct campus office.  If you need emergency assistance, call 911.

Congratulations to Kelli Hansen! She’s been awarded an ACRL 2015 Early-career Librarian scholarship:

“On behalf of ACRL and the 2015 Scholarship Committee, thank you for your interest in the ACRL conference and all of the time and hard work you put in to your application.

The purpose of the scholarship is to provide opportunities for librarians with less than six years of post-MLS experience to update their skills and knowledge by participating in an ACRL professional development experience. We hope that you enjoy this unique opportunity and make the most of all of the educational programming and networking events ACRL 2015 has to offer. We had 263 applicants this year, and awarded 120 scholarships in this category.

This scholarship provides you with a complimentary registration ( $385 value), and a $250 travel stipend to defray your conference expenses.”
