Dr. Scott Bennett, former Yale University Librarian and library space planning consultant, will visit UMR to assess Wilson Library's space needs through a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services and the Missouri State Library. Bennett will also speak at a campus-wide open forum on "The Choice for Learning," in which he will discuss designing library spaces to promote learning in the digital information age. The forum, co-sponsored by Wilson Library and UMR's Center for Educational Research and Teaching Innovation (CERTI), will be held at 1:30 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 20, in the Missouri Room of the Havener Center.

Library users who want to request materials from the other libraries that make up MERLIN and MOBIUS must now use a new ID number format when making their requests. The new format requires users at UMR to identify their campus by adding the letter "r" at the end of the ID number. When making a a request, the complete entry will consist of "zero + 8 digit ID number + r." So, for example, if your ID number was "12345678," you would enter "012345678r" when placing a request.
