MU Libraries in the News: Rebecca Graves Quoted in Mizzou Nursing

Rebecca Graves is mentioned and quoted in the cover story of the latest Mizzou Nursing magazine: “ReMOOOOving the Sacred Cows of Nursing: Evidence Based Practice”

“Health science librarians, such as Rebecca Graves, fit into the literature review part of the evidence-based process. ‘We are here to either help someone in their literature search or conduct it for them,’ Graves says. ‘We help individuals distill their thoughts into an answerable question and then we search the databases to see if this question has been answered.’ Librarians also help individuals decipher the evidence found in regards to its value. ‘Not all studies are equal,’ Graves states, ‘so we help determine the value of the evidence.'”

MU Libraries in the News: “Technology–not”

Williams Swezey, Lois J. “Technology–not.” Mizzou Magazine Spring 2008: 24.

A quote from a letter to the editor about the lack of technology at MU between 1949 and 1953:

“The library had a then-new facsimile machine that transmitted information. I don’t recall any copy machines at Ellis, nor were there any computers for looking up materials, just the card catalog.”
