I spent most of the past two years wedding planning, which was fun, but now that's over, I'm glad I have more time now to do other things I enjoy like cooking, baking, reading, hiking, and watching copious amounts of T.V. with my husband.&nbsp;</p><div><strong>What have you read/viewed/listened to/etc. recently?</strong></div><p>I recently read "Under the Whispering Door" by T.J. Klune and have been working my way through the works of Ali Hazelwood and Helen Hoang.</p><p>We watch a lot of movies and T.V. shows in our house. I&nbsp;just saw the newest "Black Panther" movie and may or may not have a minor obsession with "Love is Blind." I also spend a probably unhealthy amount of time scrolling TikTok.&nbsp;</p><p>If you walk into our kitchen on any given day, you'll probably hear either Prince or Disney music (or NPR if my husband is doing the dishes).

<h3>History of Murphy's Mug</h3>
<p><span data-contrast="none">The grand opening of Murphy’s Mug was held on April 10th, 2007, but the idea to create a coffee shop inside Murphy Library began many years before that. A <a data-mce-href="/faculty-senate/" href="/faculty-senate/" data-mce-selected="inline-boundary" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Faculty Senate</a> charge to the Faculty Senate Library Committee asked for a review of the library’s food and drink policy. Around the same time, one of Murphy Library’s goals was to determine the feasibility of offering food and drink spaces within the library building since there were few food opportunities on the north end of campus at the time.&nbsp;</span><span data-ccp-props="{">&nbsp;</span></p>

</figure>
<p><span data-contrast="none">Then Library Director Anita Evans worked with Stefan Smith, the Outreach Librarian at the time, to determine the possibility of converting an extended study space into a library cafe, as these types of spaces were becoming popular features in libraries. Smith worked with a UWL Business 230 class to design a survey that gathered information about a proposed library cafe concept, and responses indicated that approximately 60% of students were in favor of having such a place in the library. Endorsement by the Faculty Senate Library Committee, library employees, the UW-La Crosse Provost, campus dining services and the Student Activities &amp; Centers Director resulted in an actionable plan. In order to further engage and involve student interests in having a library cafe, a naming contest was held, which resulted in the present name, Murphy’s Mug.&nbsp;</span><span data-ccp-props="{">&nbsp;</span></p><p><span data-contrast="none">Since then, Murphy’s Mug has served as a popular location for students to study, grab a quick coffee or snack between classes or just relax with friends.

We will continue sharing information about the work we do in this area&nbsp;in order to raise awareness of the various DEI-related resources and services we offer as well as to add a layer of transparency to the work that goes on within the library.</span></p>

<p><span data-contrast="auto">This year, we are working to align with UW-La Crosse campus promotions centered around </span><a href="/diversity-inclusion/celebrations/" data-mce-href="/diversity-inclusion/celebrations/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span data-contrast="none">months celebrating identity and race</span></a><span data-contrast="auto">. As part of that, we have begun curating several Library Guides that highlight our diverse array of resources. </span><span data-ccp-props="{">&nbsp;</span></p><p><span data-contrast="auto">Thus far we have developed guides for </span><a href="https://libguides.uwlax.edu/BlackHistoryMonth" data-mce-href="https://libguides.uwlax.edu/BlackHistoryMonth" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span data-contrast="none">Black History Month</span></a><span data-contrast="auto"> and </span><a href="https://libguides.uwlax.edu/WomensHistoryMonth" data-mce-href="https://libguides.uwlax.edu/WomensHistoryMonth" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span data-contrast="none">Women’s History Month</span></a><span data-contrast="auto">. These showcase some of our best and most useful resources on the topics and can be used by anyone on campus as course materials, program support or tools for self-inquiry. While these resources are timely during their designated month, we encourage people to use these guides to promote DEI projects and research throughout the year. We look forward to expanding this selection of guides to include topics such as Asian American &amp; Pacific Islander American Heritage Month, Pride Month, Hispanic Heritage Month and Native American History Month. Look for these guides to be promoted on the </span><a href="/murphylibrary/" data-mce-href="/murphylibrary/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span data-contrast="none">library’s homepage</span></a><span data-contrast="auto">, social media accounts (</span><a href="https://www.facebook.com/uwlmurphylibrary/" data-mce-href="https://www.facebook.com/uwlmurphylibrary/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span data-contrast="none">Facebook</span></a><span data-contrast="auto">, </span><a href="https://www.instagram.com/uwlmurphylibrary/" data-mce-href="https://www.instagram.com/uwlmurphylibrary/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span data-contrast="none">Instagram</span></a><span data-contrast="auto"> &amp; </span><a href="https://twitter.com/uwllibrarian" data-mce-href="https://twitter.com/uwllibrarian" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span data-contrast="none">Twitter</span></a><span data-contrast="auto">) or on our </span><a href="https://libguides.uwlax.edu/home" data-mce-href="https://libguides.uwlax.edu/home" data-mce-selected="inline-boundary" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span data-contrast="none">Library Guides platform</span></a><span data-contrast="auto">. </span></p>

<h3>Diversifying the library catalog </h3>

<p><span data-contrast="auto">In addition to the resources themselves, work has also been happening behind the scenes to address outdated language that is used to organize and describe these resources. </span><span data-ccp-props="{">&nbsp;</span></p><p><span data-contrast="auto">Books and other library materials must be grouped into categories (cataloged) in order for library users to search for them within the library’s online catalog. As part of this process, these materials are given a call number so they can be found on the shelf and are also assigned subject headings, which are</span><span data-contrast="none"> specific words or phrases used&nbsp;to find and organize resources by topic.</span><span data-contrast="auto">&nbsp;Here at Murphy Library, as well as at most academic libraries throughout the country,&nbsp;</span><span data-contrast="auto">Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH)&nbsp;and the Library of Congress call number system are used to do this. While these are both effective for organizing and finding information in the library, the words and descriptors used within these systems can&nbsp;become outdated and&nbsp;must change in&nbsp;order to adapt to the current accepted&nbsp;vernacular.</span><span data-ccp-props="{">&nbsp;</span></p><p><span data-contrast="auto">This is especially important when considering the appropriate words used to describe people. Many libraries across the country, including Murphy Library and other libraries within the UW System, have been assessing&nbsp;language used within their catalogs and are working to correct instances that have become problematic and&nbsp;sometimes even dehumanizing. For example, to align with new guidelines&nbsp;from the Library of Congress, the cataloging unit here at Murphy Library (</span><a href="/profile/jmajak/" data-mce-href="/profile/jmajak/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span data-contrast="none">Mike Olson</span></a><span data-contrast="auto"> and </span><a href="/profile/jmajak/" data-mce-href="/profile/jmajak/" data-mce-selected="inline-boundary" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span data-contrast="none">Jonathan Majak</span></a><span data-contrast="auto">) has been removing the&nbsp;outdated subject heading “illegal aliens” from our local records, replacing it with “noncitizens.” Now, all Murphy Library&nbsp;resources on this topic will utilize this updated subject heading. Additional work has also taken place to update call numbers assigned to Murphy Library materials. Over 600 books in the collection have been re-cataloged to change their call numbers from the outdated category of .N for Negro to .B for Black. While users may not notice drastic changes, this is one way the library is working to remove systemic biases from the tools our students and faculty use daily. </span>&nbsp;<br></p>

Without a budget increase in over 20 years, we prioritized&nbsp;providing high quality resources, technology and services to our campus community. However, this has left little, if any, funds for our most used yet underfunded resource – our study spaces. From furniture that has lived here since our doors opened in 1968, to a lack of power outlets in our study areas, the library is in need&nbsp;of a&nbsp;refresh.
