New Library Hours at UC Clermont
Earlier in the semester, UC Clermont ran a pilot for extended hours. As promised, we did some reflection on the use and attendance of these hours. It took us a little time to prepare the staff, but we are now ready to announce longer hours for the remainder of the semester.
Beginning November 1, UC Clermont Library will remain open until 6:30 PM on Mondays through Thursdays. Friday hours will remain the same with a 5 PM close. These hours will be in place until the semester ends on November 10.
Print Periodicals Routing Available Again on UC Clermont’s Campus!
Clermont College Library is excited to announce that we are bringing back periodicals routing!
This means that when print periodicals come in, we will first circulate them through inter-office mail to those on the routing list. When everyone on the routing list is done reading the magazine and passing it on, it will be returned to the library and go onto the public shelf.
Please fill out this form to indicate which periodicals you would like routed to you, if any.
Feel free to contact our Collection Services Manager, Emily Wages (wageser@uc.edu), with any questions.
Receive Help Updating Library URLs from UC Clermont
User access to electronic library resources is controlled by UC credentials and the Libraries’ proxy server. To improve management of this, UC Libraries changed proxy servers. As a result, all URLs containing the library proxy need to be updated to the new server address before December 2021.
If you do not update links before then, they will no longer work for faculty or students. If you have links in your Canvas Course, Bookmarks, or reference manager, visit these office hours to receive help in update the URLs. Associate Librarian Catie Carlson will be available on Zoom and in McDonough 150 on the following dates:
- Thursday, October 21 at 2 PM
- Wednesday, November 10 at 2 PM
- Tuesday, November 30 at 2 PM
To join via Zoom, sign in to Campus Link to view the details for each event. Registration is not required to join on campus or online. See you then!
