Today we officially welcome our new dean and university librarian Elizabeth Kiscaden on her first day at the University of Cincinnati Libraries.
Dean Kiscaden comes to UC from Creighton University where she was university librarian and assistant vice provost of library services. While at Creighton, she worked to modernize legacy library systems and infrastructure to support an anytime, anywhere, any device philosophy and oversaw the development of a single library enterprise, bringing together campus and health sciences libraries. She has extensive experience administering large grants and library services to support academic programs, faculty teaching and student learning. Her research largely focuses on consumer health information.

The UC Library has recently added a subscription to SciTech Premium. SciTech Premium is a general STEM resource that provides access to materials in the natural sciences, technology, engineering and related disciplines and offers full-text from peer-reviewed journals, trade publications, books/monographs, conference proceedings, reports, newswires, video material and more.
SciTech Premium replaces the Libraries’ individual subscriptions to the Agricultural & Environmental Science Collection, the Advanced Technology & Aerospace Collection, the Engineering Collection and the Materials Science Collections while extending coverage to include the Biological Science Collection and the Earth, Atmospheric & Aquatic Science Collection.
To find out more about SciTech Premium, visit the ProQuest SciTech Premium LibGuide or contact the Science & Engineering Libraries.
The University of Cincinnati Libraries empowers discover, stimulates learning and inspires the creation of knowledge by connecting students, faculty, researchers and scholars to dynamic data, information and resources. The University of Cincinnati Libraries comprises 10 locations that support the university’s undergraduate, graduate and professional programs. A new display on the 5th floor lobby of the Walter C. Langsam Library features the various libraries and encourages people to visit each one.
A handout, available at the exhibit and online, maps out each library location.
And while visiting each library, post and tag @uclibraries using #selfieforsticker, then visit the desk for a library sticker.
The display was curated and designed by communication design co-op student Jakob Elliott.
Thanks to the State Library of Ohio awarding OhioLINK the ARPA (American Rescue Plan Act) grant funded by IMLS (Institute of Museum and Library Services), we now have access to ‘Phase 1’ of the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion electronic book collection (see complete Excel list) . OhioLINK’s goal was to bring better representation of diverse communities and perspectives to the library collections. Through the ProQuest platform’s curated librarian-selected collection that covers various subjects with diversity and representation in race, gender, religion, physical ability, age, political persuasion, and sexual orientation, that goal was met.
This dynamic digitally shared collection allows all OhioLINK member libraries to have an unlimited number of users and perpetual access to all 82 e-books. Books can be accessed through a search in the UC Library Catalog or by following the directions below. Check it out!
The January-February 2023 new books list offers a variety of resources to explore at the Geology-Math-Physics Library. There you will find new print books, newly acquired rare books, and a sampling of the 12 new books in the Memoirs of the American Mathematical Society series.
