Some good links to know as you start classes:
Join the University of Cincinnati Libraries for a series of workshops on data management planning! The workshops will address universal data management best practices for health science, science and engineering students and professionals. While much of the focus is on STEM fields, this course will be useful for anyone interested in learning more about data management practices and principles. Each workshop will include a teaching portion and hands on activities. We recommend that registrants attend all five workshops if possible. Workshops will be held in the Health Science Library (HSL) Electronic Classroom G005G.

Hello! I am Amy Koshoffer, the new UC Libraries Science Informationist.
I am one member of a team of informationists working to provide research data services and instruction to the UC research community. My primary focus will be on researchers in Engineering and the Sciences, including Biology, Chemistry, Environmental Science, Geology, Geography, Mathematics, and Physics. The informationist team includes others based in the Health Sciences Library (East Campus), including Tiffany Grant, a Research Informationist who is focusing on services to biomedical researchers.
On May 6, the CEAS Library and other UC Libraries unveil completely redesigned websites.
New CEAS Library website
The new CEAS website will be found at the shorter URL of libraries.uc.edu/ceas. The new website is easier to read and navigate with an updated look and feel, a less cluttered homepage with most content viewable without scrolling, and contains new information and streamlined navigation. Through user testing, the redesign also features: posting of today’s hours, enhanced location maps, and a prominent link for Off-Campus Access Login.
Also featured prominently on the site are links to CEAS Research Guides, workshops, New Books, e-Textbooks, and frequently-used Engineering and Applied Science resources.
The tabbed search box, available on the left-side of the homepage and throughout on many secondary pages of the site, will allow users to search for articles, books, journals, databases and quickly and easily.
New content is available, including the growing area of Data Management Planning assistance, Digital Scholarship, and more.
For those viewing the site on a tablet or mobile device, the redesign is responsive and adjusts to individual screen sizes.
The website redesign does not impact the Library Catalog or online databases.
Feedback is welcome as the CEAS Library website is a work in progress and will continue to develop over the summer.
Watch for more information about the newly redesigned CEAS Library site !
Neil Armstrong teaching at the UC College of Engineering, in 1974
Did you know that Neil Armstrong was a professor at the University of Cincinnati after being the first man to walk on the moon?
To further preserve Armstrong’s accomplishments and specifically celebrate his years from 1971-1979 as a professor and researcher in aerospace engineering at the university, the UC Libraries created a dynamic commemorative website.
The week of April 14-20, 2013, the College of Engineering and Applied Science Library joins libraries in schools, campuses and communities nationwide in celebrating National Library Week, a time to highlight the value of libraries, librarians and library workers.
Libraries today are more than repositories for books and other resources. As the heart of the campus, community, or school, libraries are deeply committed to the places where their users live, work and study.
Librarians work with students, faculty, small business owners, the public and many others to discover what their communities needs are and meet them. Whether through offering e-books and technology classes, materials for English-language learners, programs for job seekers or those to support early literacy, librarians listen to the community they serve, and they respond.
The CEAS Library serves the UC College of Engineering and Applied Science by providing an extensive research collection of 180,000+ Books, 70,000+ E-Books, 35,000+ E-Journals, as well as Expert Reference assistance, Study Spaces, a beautiful Reading Room and Art Collection, and an Info Commons computing space.
Engineering Library (now CEAS Library), ca. 1938.
The CEAS Library is celebrating National Library Week with a special display on the History of the Library as well as items authored by Alumni and Faculty of the College.
First sponsored in 1958, National Library Week is a national observance sponsored by the American Library Association (ALA) and libraries across the country each April.
For more information, visit the College of Engineering and Applied Science Library at the University of Cincinnati, 850 Baldwin Hall, call 513-556-1550 or see the library’s Web site: http://www.libraries.uc.edu/libraries/ceas/.
EWeek display in Reference Area
Celebrate Awesome! is the 2013 theme for National Engineers Week, also known as EWeek. The College of Engineering and Applied Science Library is celebrating EWeek with some special displays.
Enjoy a variety of books on engineering careers, on display in our reference area.

Zach Evans, winner in the Knovel University Challenge
Zach Evans, a senior majoring in chemical engineering (CEAS), is one of the weekly winners in the Knovel University Challenge.
This challenge requires students to research engineering and science questions using the e-books and property databases that are part of the Knovel system. Zach correctly answered all questions, and was thrilled when he was announced as one of the winners.
Zach began using Knovel at the advice of one of his chemical engineering professors, and he looks forward to using Knovel to answer future research questions.
