It may be the fall term, but the bright colors of spring and summer will stick around in the Clermont College Library thanks to student artist Guy Zimmerman.  Created from his own original photographs, these digitally-enhanced depictions of flowers and rugged terrain are dazzling and electric. Mr. Zimmerman is also interested in geology and worked as a Senior Data Systems Specialist at GE prior to his retirement.

Don’t miss this fantastic edition of the Student Art Spotlight.  The exhibit will run through December.

Clermont College Welcome

Posted on by

One of my favorite times each new school year is the first hour of the first day. As I sit at the welcome table in the Peters-Jones building at Clermont College I’m eager to greet the new and returning students. The energy I feel from their excitement regenerates me for the possibilities of the new semester.  And of course I’m happy to direct them to the Clermont College Library.good things

I just know good things are going to happen fall semester. Best wishes to all of Clermont’s students as they begin this new journey.

Brain Food

Posted on by

Get your brain ready for school! There are plenty of things you can do to maximize your brain power and holistically gain some good healthy habits–and the Clermont College Library has some great resources for you, just take a look at the e-books below:brain

Nutrition for Brain Health and Cognitive Performance by Talitha Best and Louise Dye covers new technologies in nutrition, diet, and Omega 3s including ginko bilboa, green tea, and other herbal benefits.

Sort Your Brain Out:  Boost your Performance, Manage Stress, and Achieve More by Jack Lewis and Adrian Webster shows you how to “boost your performance, manage stress, and achieve more” by altering your behavior.

College students have many stressors, such as worrying about money, food and extra items for classes, not getting enough rest—to name a few. This book claims the student can “subtly alter your behaviors.”

Great Myths of the Brain by Christian Jarrett introduces readers to the field of neuroscience by delving into brain myths (Do we only use 10% of our brains?) and myths related to brain disorders, including autism, and epilepsy.

Sleep Deprivation and Disease: Effects of the Body, Brain and Behavior, by Matt Bianchi. Biachi elaborates on emerging research that demonstrate that sleep deprivation contributes to other health concerns. This book covers experimental approaches to sleep deprivation and its measurement.

Please contact the Clermont College Library if you have questions about finding e-books or other media—We’d love to hear from you!

Presidential Election 2016

Posted on by

Although some people may feel their vote really doesn’t matter, our 32nd president, Franklin D. Roosevelt, stated, “Nobody will ever deprive the American people of the right to vote except the American people themselves and the only way they could do this is by not voting.”

(from “Quotations” From Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Washington, D. C.: Republican national committee, 1938.)

Arts and Crafts at Clermont

Posted on by

One way Clermont College Library supports our Art Department is by providing books on arts and crafts. We house books on drawing and painting as well as many hands-on crafts. The most recent course the art department added, Fundamentals of Metal Clay Jewelry, has resulted in some beautiful work by the students. I’ve had the opportunity to take Fundamental Concepts of Art and a course on felt making. In the fundamentals class, I created a book from handmade paper and learned printing techniques. The class is designed to give students a chance to work with two and three dimensional art.

Bearcat Card Enabled Photocopying Is Here!

Posted on by

You asked – and we listened!

copier

In our 2014 and 2015 Clermont College Library student surveys, an overwhelming number of students asked for the ability to photocopy documents using their Bearcat card.  And now our new 3-in-1 machine will do just that, in addition to producing high-quality document scans and printing in both color and black and white.

Keep the feedback coming!  We want to be your best resource for student success.

Happy Summer,
