Digital Services Report to Library Assembly (Adrienne Arden)
Digital Services staff has spent considerable time this past month on activities related migrating materials to the now “MU Digital Library”.
By invitation Felicity attended the RAIS meeting this month to discuss the work of the Digital Services department.
In collaboration with Kelli Hansen of Special Collections, on February 15, our department hosted an Early American Literature class of about 11 students who are working on transcribing a handwritten manuscript that is in Special Collections. The digitized book and transcript will be available in the MU Digital Library. The class came to see and hear about our operation and were quite interested in our scanning and editing process.

The School of Medicine construction project, Patient-Centered Care Learning Center, continues. The building is finally beginning to go up, after months of utility and foundation work. We’ve been told that the third floor should be up by around the end of April. The company is working on a mock-up of the exterior finishes that will be erected close to the Military Science Building, and groups will be let into the area to see the finishes when they are ready. The planners are working on a summer timeline that will determine when the work will be done to demolish the stairway that is outside of the HSL entrance. We are making plans to relocate some staff during the worst of the noise related to the short-term demolition work.
