Fall Space Refresh in the CECH Library
In preparation for the fall term, we completed a comprehensive space refresh on our library’s 3rd floor, including moving more than 26,800 books (by hand!) to make our highest-circulating collections more visible and accessible.
We also re-designed our 3rd floor display spaces, creating more permanent areas to promote books and refreshing exhibits monthly.
In addition, our MakerLab underwent a re-organization this summer to improve users’ experience. Rachel Hoople, CECH Library’s Operations Manager, led many of these changes and I know our students will reap the benefits of these improvements this year.
We can’t wait for you to come visit us this year to check out our refreshed spaces. As always, you can find fall semester library hours on the CECH Library website, as well as a complete listing of hours across UC Libraries locations.
It is our pleasure to serve CECH, and we wish you all a fantastic semester.

Updates to Libraries website for fall semester
Next week, UC Libraries will make updates to the website in order to improve usability and discoverability, as well as to simplify navigation. These changes are reflective of results from user testing, analytics and edit requests received throughout the year. Where possible, redirects will be included, but please note new URLs listed below and update any bookmarks as necessary.
Updates include:
- Add Guides as a fifth tab on the search widget, so as to increase visibility and easy access to all library research guides directly from the homepage.
- Changes to the Global Navigation links:
- Remove Online Library, retain relevant information and move to a new section called Search.
- Search will include:
- Search widget.
- Langsam call number locator. New link: https://libraries.uc.edu/search/call-number-locator-langsam-library-.html
- Help Finding Materials. New link: https://libraries.uc.edu/search/help.html
- Online Reference Shelf. New link: https://libraries.uc.edu/search/online-reference.html
- Online Access FAQ. New link: https://libraries.uc.edu/search/online-access.html
- Libraries becomes Library Locations. NOTE: this does not include a change to any URLs, but rather ONLY the label changes so as to improve clarity, especially due to its new proximity to the Libraries sub-header under the UC logo.
- Find, Request, Borrow becomes Borrow and Request to more accurately reflect content and to differentiate between Search and Research & Teaching Support.
- Remove Login as most of that content is either no longer valid or is located elsewhere.
- Rename Access to Online Access FAQ and Move to new Search. New link: https://libraries.uc.edu/search/online-access.html
- Move My Library Record to Request and Borrow. New link: https://libraries.uc.edu/borrow-request/my-library-record.html.

Please note, other library resources, including Summon, the Library Catalog and Library Guides integration into Canvas, have had or will also have updates. If you use these resources in your courses or research, we also recommend checking that your links, bookmarks and information are still up to date.
As always, contact us with questions.
Celebrating Emeritus Dean of DAAP, Jay Chatterjee
The Robert A. Deshon & Karl J. Schlachter Library of DAAP is celebrating Dean Chatterjee’s career with a dedicated study room. News articles from Dean Chatterjee’s career are hung on one wall. Four shovels are hung on another; each designed by a different school in DAAP to commemorate the ground-breaking of Peter Eisenman’s building in 1996. The study room is located on the second floor of the DAAP Library-Room 6480C (take elevator to second floor and turn to the right). Come take a look.
