Clermont College Welcome
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.
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.

Langsam Library’s 4th Floor Now Open 24/7
As the university’s main library, the Walter C. Langsam Library — and especially the busy fourth floor — is a destination of choice for University of Cincinnati students. Beginning Aug. 21, UC students, faculty and staff looking for a place to study for an exam, access a public computer or meet with a project team to finish an assignment now have access to the fourth floor of Langsam Library 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
No library staff or services requiring assistance will be available after The Desk@Langsam closes; however, security will be present thanks to UC’s Public Safety. A valid UC ID is required to enter the library after The Desk@Langsam closes. The hours for The Desk@Langsam and the Student Technology Resources Center (STRC) are listed online at http://www.libraries.uc.edu/about/hours.html. Continue reading
Check Out Our New Look!
Thanks to the generosity of donors, we’ve made some big improvements in the Clermont College Library this summer. We’re excited to see students using our refreshed space to collaborate, work, and relax once again this year.
Some of our newest additions on the 1st floor for Fall 2016 include:
- New lounge-type chairs
- New collaboration tables with built-in electric
- A refreshed, relocated computer lab
- Bearcat-card enabled photocopying
Let me know what you think of our new look. And don’t forget to check out our 2nd floor – still the only quiet study zone on campus.
Best wishes for a successful school year,

UC GIS Learning Community Forming
Do you need to visualize your spatial data but don’t know how? Do you have spatial data but don’t know how to map it? Are you looking for guidance or have expertise to share regarding the analysis of spatial data? Are you an ArcGIS, A Q-GIS or other GIS program user and want to connect with other people who use these programs?
The Geography Graduate Student Organization and UC Libraries will host an organizational meeting on August 31st at 3:30 in the Geology-Math and Physics Library (located just off Schneider Quad in 240 Braunstein – map) to discuss the formation of a cross disciplinary Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Learning Community. The goal of the community is to create a user-driven forum for novice and expert practitioners to come together and discuss tools, resources and solutions to questions and new projects that develop as researchers consider the spatial aspects of their data. We invite interested individual across all of UC to join us in building this community.
Light Refreshments will be provided. Click here to RSVP. For more information, please contact Amy Koshoffer, Science Informationist, at Koshofae@ucmail.uc.edu.
ARB’s “50 Minutes” Series Return Next Week
By: Kevin Grace
The Archives & Rare Books Library will usher in its 7th year of the “50 Minutes” lunchtime talks this August with “A Skeleton, Some Lions, Pigeons, and Gods! The Seldom-Noticed Art in UC Architecture.”
The talk is scheduled for Thursday, August 25, at 12 noon in 814 Blegen and as always, the “50 Minutes” presentations are very informal and conversational. Bring your lunch, relax, ignore the clock on the wall which is invariably an hour behind (though we may climb on top of the piano beneath it and change the battery this year), and enjoy a look at the history and culture of the “hidden” campus. Not advertised in the title, we will also be looking at semi-naked people in the architecture.
