If any full-time current employee of the MSU Libraries is going to be out of the library (Meyer or Haseltine) for a half day (i.e., four consecutive work hours) or more, we ask that you use the “Library Off Campus Calendar” that our LIT Unit recently set up. You may be out of the library for some work-related reason (e.g., a conference or workshop), or for some planned, excused absence (e.g., vacation, bereavement, jury duty).

To add an event to the Library Off Campus Calendar (libraryoffcampuscalendar@missouristate.edu), when you won’t be available/on-campus for four hours, or more, please follow these steps:

1. Create a new calendar event in Outlook/Outlook Web (outlook.office.com) for the time you’ll be unavailable (select “all day” when appropriate).
2. Add libraryoffcampuscalendar@missouristate.edu to the list of attendees.
3. Set the event title to your first and last name, or preferred name (eg. Brooks Travis).
4. (optional) Include a “reason/description” in the event title, in parenthesis or separated by a ” – “. For example, full event titles: “Brooks Travis (Vacation)” or “Rachel Besara – Out of Country”.
5. Send the invitation.

That’s it!
