The UCBA Library welcomes you to the start of what we hope to be a fun, enlightening and productive year!, In that spirit, we ask that when you are in the library to be respectful of others by keeping your conversations quiet, taking your phone calls outside and using headphones at a low volume.
Looking forward to a great year!
Your Place to Study, Learn and Succeed
The Clermont College Library has an exciting new offering this year especially for students — laptops!
To check out a laptop, simply present your Bearcat Card student ID at the information desk. Laptops check out for 4 hours and are for in-library use only. Our laptops provide the same great software access as the PCs in our computer lab, while also offering the flexibility of choosing your study space inside the library. And with our 150+ electrical outlets, you can choose from a variety of spaces on our 1st and 2nd floors — some quiet, some collaborative.
If you’d like to check out a laptop or have a question, please stop by and ask your friendly library staff.
Best,
Katie Foran-Mulcahy
Library Director
Sketch of new service desk.
Students starting classes Monday will be met with construction and an enhanced classroom in Langsam Library.
Once completed, the renovations will provide more collaborative, flexible and comfortable work spaces to do research and to study in Langsam, as well as offer improved access to enhanced technology. Work began this summer with the renovation of the Langsam classroom 462 and will continue throughout the fall semester on the fourth floor of the library.
As a result of the construction, The Desk@Langsam (the main service desk) has been moved to just beyond the main staircase. Signs and way finding lead users to the temporary desk location. All other Langsam Library services and spaces remain open and available for use at this time.
UC’s Welcome Week kicked off Wednesday, August 19 as new students began moving in. UC Libraries is part of the weekend festivities to acclimate students to campus.

The library staff greeted new students during the Fall Welcome on Clermont’s Campus. We met many students eager to start the new semester. Our student assistant, Rachel, shared information about the library, specifically highlighting the help a student receives with research, resources, and textbooks on reserve. We’re excited to meet new students and help them with all their research needs.
