INFORMATION ITEM: The Student Health Center is posting a map on their website that will indicate designated napping areas around campus. They asked if the Libraries would like to designate a place within the Libraries and be included on the map. Although naps are not discouraged in MU Libraries, LMT would prefer not to designate a specific area for napping or be advertised as a designated napping location. MU Libraries will not be listed on the map.
INFORMATION ITEM: LMT reviewed the most recent draft of the Mold Chronology and addressed questions and comments by Interim Provost Ken Dean.
INFORMATION ITEM: Concerning the Student Fee Working Group – Matt Gaunt joined LMT to discuss the various tasks that are known to be essential to the student fee campaign and brainstorm who might be assigned to them. At the 1/13/15, 4:00 p.m. SFWG meeting Matt hopes to further clarify who is assigned to what task and to assign target dates for completion.

The State Historical Society of Missouri’s Research Center–Columbia
Join us as Valerie Battle Kienzle presents her new book, Columbia, an illustrated history of Columbia, Missouri. Her interest in history is closely tied to her family: she, her brother, and her mother share ownership of a restored home and farmland that have been in the family since 1796. A 1980 graduate of the University of Missouri School of Journalism in Columbia, she has worked for more than 30 years in various writing-related positions, including newspaper reporter, corporate public affairs manager, advertising account representative, school district communications writer, and freelance writer. She is the author of St. Charles, published in 2012 as part of Arcadia Publishing Company's Postcard History Series.
