\n\tDigital Services Report to Library Assembly<\/strong>
\n\tLibrary 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
\n\tdigitizing 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.\n<\/p>\n\n\tAdrienne Arden<\/p>\n
\tLibrary Branch Announcements<\/strong>
\n\tThe 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.<\/p>\n\tWendy Batson\n<\/p>\n
\n\tReport from Health Sciences<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n\n- \n\t\tAt HSL, we are working with the School of Medicine on our shared payment for the Up-To-Date resource. School of Medicine pays two-thirds of the cost, which is the equivalent of the off-site access fee.\n\t<\/li>\n

\n\tTalking Points Regarding the Libraries Student Fee<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n\n- \n\t\tThe MU Libraries are working cooperatively with students to forge a vision for the future of the Libraries.\n\t<\/li>\n
- \n\t\tStudents have expressed interest in modernized space, innovative new services, expanded collections, 24\/7 library access and technology upgrades.\n\t<\/li>\n
- \n\t\tThe students are considering a fee that will dramatically increase funding to the Libraries and help Mizzou deliver library services on par with our peer institutions.\n\t<\/li>\n
- \n\t\tThe fee starts at $5 per credit hour and will be followed by $2 annual increases over the next five years.\n\t<\/li>\n
- \n\t\tThe students will vote on the referendum in November.\n\t<\/li>\n
- \n\t\tThe proposal calls for an estimated $4,330,000 in new funding in the fee’s first year and just under $13 million per year once it reaches its target in 2022.\n\t<\/li>\n
- \n\t\tFunds will be spent to improve all libraries on campus.<\/p>\n
\n- \n\t\t\t\tEllis Library, Engineering Library, Geological Sciences Library, Health Sciences Library, Journalism Library, Law Library, Mathematical Sciences Library, Missourian Newspaper Library, University Archives, Veterinary Medical Library\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
