Digital Services Report to Library Assembly
Library system problems beyond our control affected the Digital Library and the Institutional Repository earlier this month which resulted in some loss of productivity in those areas, though fortunately no loss of data. The latter was cause for concern, but we tried not to allow our fears to rule our heads. Thanks to the LSO programmers, we are up and running again. We are quite busy with
digitizing and uploading. One of Adrienne’s and our GLA Hannah’s biggest projects is providing access to MU theses and dissertations through uploading into MOspace and cataloging them. Digital Services works closely with the Graduate School to acquire the necessary paperwork and files to do this in a timely manner.

Library Branch Announcements
The Engineering Library has completed processing and moving 16,000 books to clear one side of the library during the renovation of Lafferre Hall. The shelving and furniture on that side of the library still need to be taken out. In addition, one range of Reference books has been cleared on the remaining side of the library to create some extra study space.
