Website Migration @ Clermont Library
Heads up — the Clermont College Library is migrating to a new website template on Friday, December 11th. While our website’s address won’t change, the site may not be available for your use on Friday on an intermittent basis.
If you’re experiencing issues , please visit the UC Libraries website for access to all of your favorite library resources like Summon, Academic Search Complete, UC Library Catalog, and more. When the new site is complete, the look and feel will be similar to other UC Libraries websites, including the Langsam Library, the Blue Ash College Library, and the Health Sciences Library.
Thanks for your patience as we continue to make changes to serve you better.

Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner?
By: Sydney Vollmer, ARB Intern, 2015-2016
I’m not one to frequent dinner parties, seeing as my peers are assuredly drowning in some form of debt and being strangled by the long, drawn out sentences that fill the pages of their textbooks. However, if I were to be seated at any table of twelve, these Shakespearean dinner place cards would turn a regular dinner into a fancy party. No Pinterest expert I, but if it had existed when these cards came out, I’m sure they would have made their way to social media in a heartbeat.
These particular cards are antiques, but no one is stopping you from typing them out and printing them on fancy paper so you too can have an Elizabethan inspired night. Make your guests feel welcomed and appreciated with sentiments strung together from six of Shakespeare’s plays.
If thou wantest anything, and will not call, beshrew thy heart Henry IV, Part 2; V:3. Continue reading

Illustrating Shakespeare’s Plays, Part the Second – Edmund Dulac
By: Sydney Vollmer, ARB Intern
Not too long ago, I posted a blog focused on Arthur Rackham and his illustrations. It’s time for Part 2, this time featuring Rackham’s most worthy competition, Edmund Dulac.
A year ago, when I was asked what I thought about Edmund Dulac’s artistic style, I said, “I think his illustrations are a little darker and less whimsical than the others [Arthur Rackham and Hugh Thomson]”. However, my tastes must have changed over time. Looking through Dulac’s illustrations in Shakespeare’s The Tempest, I find myself in love with his use of color and the way he blends it so beautifully. It’s interesting to see the different styles, as well as the histories which led each artist to his renown. Continue reading
