MU Libraries Update for CAFNR and TAM: Additions and Improvements

Update on MU Libraries for CAFNR

Updates & Improvements

  • We are grateful to Vice Chancellor of Research Hank Foley for funding the subscription to Web of Science for MU. In addition to indexing major journals in many areas, Web of Science provides the metrics used by the AAU to measure the impact of scholarly work. Training videos are available at http://library.missouri.edu/announcements/2015/04/08/web-of-science-tutorials/.
  • We have also been able to extend our subscription to BrowZine, an app that facilitates access to online journals.
  • We have made some changes to our website and implemented upgrades to several technologies in order to improve access and usability.
  • Thanks to the Student Fee Capital Improvement Committee we will have a new KIC scanner in the Journalism Library.
  • Thanks to engineering student Nick Bira and the Interdisciplinary Innovations Fund, we have a 3D printing service available in Ellis Library.We will be transitioning to a new electronic reserves system, an improvement on eRes, this summer.
  • We continue to increase our capacity to support online learning through the creation of online learning tools, streaming of our workshops, and effective use of tools such as Blackboard’s Collaborate.
