The blog of the University of Cincinnati Libraries
The DAAP Library would like to welcome back the students. We are in the process of moving Special Collections in the room down near the circulation desk where the old computer lab used to be. The room and collection will be available by appointment once the move is complete. The computers complete with scanners and WEPA printer have moved out to the reading room. Please let us know your information needs. We hope you have a great Spring semester.
Read the University of Cincinnati Libraries 2017/18 Annual Progress Report where we ask the question: Have We Transformed Yet?
In this year’s annual Progress Report, we make note of the accomplishments of the previous year, as well as take a holistic view of UC Libraries since the Strategic Plan was launched five years ago. We celebrate the continued success of annual events that promote library collections and services, highlight milestones of major library initiatives and feature library spaces.
Integral to fulfilling the work of the Strategic Plan is the dedication of the faculty and staff of UC Libraries along with the investment of our donors. By highlighting the accomplishments of our hard-working staff and listing the current donors, both groups are recognized and celebrated in this Progress Report.
Finally, if all of the accomplishments listed in this report signal that we are at least on the road to transformation than we must ask ourselves the question…what’s next?
The Progress Report is available online at https://issuu.com/uclibraries/docs/uclannualprogressreport17_18.
