Collections Shift at the Archives and Rare Books Library

Posted on by

The Archives and Rare Books Library (ARB) will soon begin utilizing new space at an offsite storage facility maintained by the University of Cincinnati Libraries. This will free up much needed collections space in Blegen Library for new acquisitions and newly organized materials. Consequently, ARB staff be taking part in a major collections shift during the weeks of September 16th and September 23rd.

During that time, services at ARB may be disrupted. This includes fielding reference questions and communications. We apologize for any inconvenience during this time but look forward to enhancing collection services following the shift!

Frederick A. Marcotte Library Digital Displays

Posted on by

UC Clermont Library maintains three monthly displays that pertain to timely issues; one is inside the library and two are in display cases in the Snyder and Edith Peters Jones buildings. You’ve probably seen these throughout campus and maybe even checked out materials from one. For these physical displays we lay out books, DVDs, periodicals, and QR codes relating to a particular topic. We feature all the materials available in these physical displays on our digital display website so that you can explore what is on our physical display shelves from the comfort of your home, access electronic materials, and request items from each display. Our display topics for the month of September 2024 are Appalachian and Rural Studies, US Elections, and AI.

New Library Instruction Menu from CECH Library

Posted on by

CECH librarians love engaging with students and teaching library instruction sessions to classes across the college. To better promote what is possible with library instruction, instruction librarians in CECH Library developed a new instruction menu.  

The menu has four categories of offerings with example lessons in each. These categories and examples are not exhaustive – course instructors are encouraged to reach out to discuss the specific needs of their students to customize the lesson!  

The menu was developed based on common instruction requests, concepts students need assistance with during research consultations, and the particular programs and disciplines we serve. 

Instructors who are interested in having a library instruction session for a class should reach out to
Madeleine Gaiser (gaiserml@uc.edu) or Katie Foran-Mulcahy (katie.foran@uc.edu) for scheduling and more details. 

On behalf of CECH Library, 
Madeleine Gaiser, instruction librarian
