Digital Services Report presented by Adrienne Arden<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n\n\tAs most of you already know, Brian Cain has left MU Libraries for a new and exciting opportunity at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico. We want to thank the many attendees at Brian’s farewell celebration as you helped make that bittersweet send-off a big success that Brian enjoyed greatly. \n<\/p>\n
\n\tOur department is pleased with the progress we’ve made migrating material from the Legacy Digital Library to the MU Digital Library. Part of that migration is material from the Agricultural Experiment Station–of the 880 items from that source, 650 have been added to the MU Digital Library.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tUnfortunately, our digitization efforts have come to a halt as our main scanner that is regarded as the departmental workhorse, has broken down. Efforts to get it repaired are underway.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tThis is “International Open Access Week”. Felicity is on the planning committee and has been quite busy with several events, three of which are happening here in Ellis Library.

\n\tAdditional Note from Deb Ward<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n\n\tAbout 100 people visited the HSL last Thursday, October 15, to attend the HSL Centennial Celebration. In addition to celebrating 100 years of information services on campus, we celebrated National Librarians' month and the anniversary of J. Otto Lottes' birthday.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tThe event featured a slideshow of quotes from users, the historical video on Ellis Library, and two handouts. One handout was a timeline illustrating the development of HSL along with the founding and growth of the health schools and the university hospitals & clinics. Medical hangman and a photo booth for selfies were popular with guests. It was also the debut of the digital signage that LTS got up for us. Thank you, LTS! Terri will say more about how we will use it. We also gave away three prizes drawn from comment providers and six door prizes.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tThe value of events like this is the opportunity to tell users about our services and highlight the value of what we do to support their work. It's also a great way for staff to talk to users informally and build stronger relationships. I'm pleased that the HSL could participate in the Libraries' Centennial by hosting this event.\n<\/p>\n
