ACCESSING ONLINE LIBRARY RESOURCES
If you have any questions about accessing library resources, contact Dr Jenny Doctor, head of the CCM Library.
The UC Libraries are beginning a trial of the Cincinnati Song Initiative (CSI) Digital Resource, to continue to 31 December 2021. CSI is an online resource developed by CCM alum Sam Martin.
Trial feedback: Please send any trial feedback, comments, or suggestions to Dr Jenny Doctor (jenny.doctor@uc.edu).

If you encounter technical issues linking to CSI, send an email to let us know so we can fix the problem quickly.
CSI overview:
CSI was founded to bring a concentrated and cohesive source of art song to the greater Cincinnati area. Dedicated to providing unique experiences through the power of music and text, each performance creates a sense of relevance and active engagement between performers and audiences. This is achieved not only through song, but also through spoken dialogue by the artists, which provides a context and historical background that connects audiences to the repertoire. Concerts take place at different venues throughout the Queen City in order to connect with its many vibrant communities and explore all it has to offer.
For example, CSI content includes:
I hope you enjoy exploring this resource! We welcome feedback about what you think of its usefulness as a tool to support teaching, research, and performance (jenny.doctor@uc.edu).
The CCM Library faculty and staff welcome you back to Spring Semester 2021!
The CCM Library is open and ready to support your work for the semester.
By using Berlin Philharmonic Digital Concert Hall, UC patrons can experience the complete 2020/21 season of the Berlin Philharmonic online. There are two access options: “Direct Access” or to “Login” by creating a personal account that will enable additional features like playlists and email notifications. BOTH OPTIONS WORK for UC patrons. When off campus, remember to use the “proxy” address URL from the CCM Library homepage (under Online Video). Check out the 2020/21 season brochure to see what’s coming up (hint: there’s a live concert this Friday Aug. 28 at 1:00pm).
Welcome to fall semester at the CCM Library.
The physical library is open Monday-Friday 1-6pm. Appointments are available for study spaces in the Reading Room and the Media Lab (including use of computers, media equipment and practice pianos). There is currently no browsing in the score and journal rooms. Please see the CCM Library Re-Opening FAQs.
The Click & Collect retrieval and pickup service allows UC users to request physical library materials in the Library Catalog. Pickup is at designated locations, including the CCM Library, Monday-Friday. Please see the CCM Library Re-Opening FAQs.
OhioLINK and Interlibrary Loan Borrowing have resumed.
Library users can request OhioLINK materials for pickup at Langsam Library using the OhioLINK catalog or by using the “Search OhioLINK” tab after a search in our local Library Catalog.
To ensure staff safety, all incoming materials will be quarantined for six days before being processed and made available for borrowing.
Using Interlibrary Loan (ILL) library users may request print materials and electronic copies of articles and chapters from books not held by UC Libraries. The pickup location for print materials will be Langsam Library only for west campus.
Reminder. The current west campus pickup location for OhioLINK and ILL is Langsam Library only.
UC libraries are CLOSED. If you have library materials checked out:
Library users are encouraged to KEEP ALL LIBRARY MATERIALS. If you plan to return to campus in the summer or fall, please keep library materials and return them at that time. Fines will not be incurred for items borrowed from UC Libraries, OhioLINK or Interlibrary Loan.
ONLY IF YOU WILL NOT RETURN TO CAMPUS: books, scores, and recordings may be returned to the drop slot outside of the main entrance of Langsam Library (go to the Woodside Garage and take the elevator up to level 4. The library entrance is opposite as you exit the elevator.)
If you have borrowed library-owned equipment (laptops, data projectors, etc.) that you MUST return because you will not return to campus: please contact Public Safety at (513) 556-1111 in advance and arrange to meet an officer. DO NOT LEAVE equipment items outside any library
