Welcome from Our Host

Greetings from the Evangel University Library Director

We’re so pleased to host this year’s Annual Conference and welcome each and every one of you to our campus. This year’s theme, “Connecting…,” holds special significance for us at Evangel – it speaks to our highest calling to connect with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, but also within our Library Services as we strive to help our students and faculty make the connections they need in their academic studies. It also speaks to the heritage of transportation in Springfield, from the old wagon factory, the Frisco Railroad, Ozark Airlines, and Old Route 66 – the Mother Road – and how it was one of the first interstate roads to help Americans make their connections.

In Christ,

Woodvall Moore
