The Frederick A. Marcotte Library at UC Clermont curates several monthly library material displays that pertain to timely issues. The displays in the library feature new books as well as monthly rotating topics. There are also display cases within the Snyder and Edith Peters Jones buildings that feature rotating subjects each month. You’ve probably seen these throughout campus and maybe even checked out materials from them. For these physical displays we lay out books, DVDs, periodicals, and QR codes for ebooks relating to a particular topic. We feature all materials available in these physical displays in our digital display 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.

In support of UC Clermont’s teaching mission and affordable learning initiatives, our library holds a course reserves section for which we purchase core textbooks that cost more than $100. Some textbooks may be available as eBooks. Students can request physical textbooks at the library information desk and check them out for four hours at a time; they may be renewed if not requested by another student. A valid Bearcat Card or photo ID is required to check out. The library does not purchase lab manuals, bundled sets, custom editions, access codes, or loose-leaf format items. Users can search UC’s course reserves online by class or instructor.

UC Clermont’s library shares our newest purchases each month on our New Books Blog. You can browse this month’s newest titles or take a look at previous months. By clicking on the titles, you can see them in the catalog and put a hold request on any you are interested in. There is also the option to subscribe to the new books blog so you never miss a title! If you would rather browse a physical display, we also feature a rotating new book display on the first floor of the library.
