LSO news
Hi, and welcome to our web site. UM Library Systems is divided into two working groups: eResources and digital.library. The site follows that organizational structure.
The goal of the eReources section is to provide access to the resources provided to the University of Missouri System by LSO. In addition, we will provide statistics and other documents to help us better select, acquire, analyze, and maintain these resources. In the near future, we will also incorporate more of the electronic resources information currently on the MERLIN web gateway.
The goal of the digital.library section is to not only promote the digitizing-related services provided by LSO, but also provide links to the results of those services.
We're excited with this opportunity to show you what it is we do!

After several months of discussion and work, the redesigned MERLIN Gateway went live in February 2008.
The MERLIN Gateway is the main page for information about the electronic resources purchased for the MERLIN libraries. Licensing and billing for these eResources is done by the eResources team at LSO.
The new site is clean, fresh, full of information, and easy to use.
You can access the new site at this address: http://merlin.missouri.edu/
