UMKC Miller Nichols librarians are proud to present our newest book display in conjunction with the UMKC Women’s Center. Books on display range from suspense fiction, to computer hacking, to female detectives and beyond.
Library faculty and staff came together on the afternoon of September 29th to celebrate a milestone – loading the 300,000th item into RooBot. The achievement was commemorated with a performance from the Libraries’ Bookcart Drill Team dancing to Rick Malsick’s “Waltz with a Robot”.
The Missouri Library Association (MLA) has selected UMKC Libraries as the 2010 Library of the Year. Recognizing Miller Nichols Library's efforts to provide superior services, MLA will present the award at its annual conference at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 7 at the Lodge of Four Seasons in Lake Ozark, Mo.
MLA applauded Sharon L. Bostick, Dean of Libraries, and the UMKC Libraries staff for their commitment to improving and expanding student spaces and installing the region's first robotic book retrieval system.
At the beginning of the fall semester, UMKC students, faculty, staff, and community supporters were invited to email suggestions for what to name the Libraries’ new robotic retrieval system. Entries received ran the gamut from practical, to silly, to obscure.
