Course Prep Checklist for Library Materials
The Clermont College Library hopes that faculty are enjoying their summer and have had opportunities to connect with their loved ones. As we get closer to the beginning of the fall semester (yikes!), we want to help you prepare for the semester with library resources and EZ Proxy information. Please feel free to reach out to your liaison librarian or contact us at clermontlibrary@uc.edu.
Textbooks
Print textbooks will be available for checkout again this fall. Students can ask at the first-floor checkout desk for the textbooks and they are available for 2 or 4 hours depending on the book. You can fill out a course reserve request to have a textbook put on reserves.
Collection purchase requests
Contact your liaison librarian for books that you would like to see added to Clermont Library’s collection.
Modules & Videos
Library instruction video are available through the library’s Information Literacy webpage and ready-made modules are found in our Information Literacy Canvas Community.
EZ Proxy
In May 2021, UC Libraries changed its proxy server which effects ALL library resource links. This change can cause problems with accessing library materials online. Please remember to check ALL the library materials links that are in Canvas or in any other part of your courses to see that they work. More information on the EZ Proxy can be found at the Access Library Resources: FAQs page.

UC Clermont Library Summer 2021 Hours and Information
As the summer course session begins, UC Clermont Library would like remind the campus community that we will be open Monday through Thursday, 10 am to 3 pm, starting on Monday May third. Our chat service will be staffed Monday through Friday 10am to 3pm. Materials and technology checkouts continue to be available during these open hours. If you would like to request to check out a piece of technology over summer, you can do so via the online form here. Additionally, there is a return bin outside of the library that you can access at any time for book returns, but if you have technology like a laptop or iPad to return you can drop those off during open hours or make an appointment to drop off at another time. UC Clermont Library will be closed on Fridays throughout the summer.
Upcoming changes in off-campus access links to library resources
User access to library electronic resources is controlled by UC credentials and the Libraries proxy server. To improve management of this, UC Libraries is changing proxy servers at the end of the spring semester. As a result, all URLs containing the library proxy will need to be changed to the new server address. The Libraries has created tools to assist users in changing/creating proxy URLs. For anyone who bookmarks or includes library resource links in communication, course syllabi, canvas, etc., please plan to change library resource links starting in the month of May to the new proxy URL. The Libraries will maintain the old server through the end of 2021, so access will be continuous for summer semester and ample time is provided for the URLs to be updated.
- May 3rd: server address changes
- FROM: http://proxy.libraries.uc.edu/login?url= http://www.abc.com
- TO: (beginning May 3rd): https://uc.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://www.abc.com
- After May 3rd, example of new proxy URL for the title: Very short introductions https://uc.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://www.veryshortintroductions.com/
- May 3rd through 2021: change library resource links in course syllabi, canvas, personal bookmarks, etc.
- January 2022: outdated URLs will no longer work for library resources
- The proxy tools page will be updated May 3rd to assist with editing URLs
If you have any questions about how to access electronic library resources, please contact a library liaison.
Reading Day Recommendations from UC Clermont
With the upcoming reading day on March 24, we think everyone could use a break. While the UC Clermont library will be open that day, we thought we’d share some of what we would do if we had a free day. Decision fatigue can be real so maybe these can help:
