Library Journal Cancellation Project for FY 2017. MU Libraries are in the very early stages of planning for a large journals cancellation for fiscal year 2017 in the event that our budget remains flat or decreases, as it will without more funding. More information is available under the Library Budget tab.

Proposed Student Library Fee. With the encouragement of Chancellor Loftin and with input from the Missouri Student Association (MSA) and the Graduate Professional Council (GPC), the MU Libraries have proposed a student library fee to begin in Fall 2016.
