This post comes to you from UC Clermont student Scarlett Hauser. Scarlett works in the Clermont College Library and wanted to share some of her perspective on life as a student during the COVID-19 pandemic. For UC Clermont students that haven’t made a trip to campus, Scarlett shares some of what she has seen and how courses have gone.
Here are Scarlett’s thoughts:

Life of the Mind, interdisciplinary conversations with University of Cincinnati faculty, will return Tues, Sept. 22, at 2:30 p.m. with a lecture by John Lynch, professor of communication in the College of Arts and Sciences, who will speak on “Remembering When Medicine Went Wrong: Lessons for Medical Communication Today.” The lecture will be presented via Zoom with the link soon available at https://libraries.uc.edu/lifeofthemind.html.
Following Professor Lynch’s remarks, a panel of three will respond to the lecture:
The Life of the Mind lecture series has merged with the former Authors, Editors & Composers to create one event that will celebrate the achievements of UC’s artists, authors, editors and composers. A bibliography and exhibit of the 2019 creative and scholarly works of UC’s faculty and staff will accompany the lecture and be available online.
Sponsored by the Office of the Senior Vice President and Provost, and organized by the University of Cincinnati Libraries, Faculty Senate and the Faculty Enrichment Center, the mission of Life of the Mind is to celebrate UC faculty research, scholarship and creative output and to foster the free and open exchange of ideas and discourse. Life of the Mind is free and open to the public and attracts a broad audience including UC students, faculty, staff and alumni, as well as people from the community.
More information about Life of the Mind is available online at www.libraries.uc.edu/lifeofthemind/.

Your UC Clermont library team is pretty new to campus. Because we may not have a chance to meet you in person this semester, we wanted to offer you a snapshot of each of the library’s faculty and staff. Each employee will be featured throughout the semester. This week Catie Carlson, Associate Librarian and Library Director, is featured.

g for library print materials for research or study? The Click & Collect retrieval and pickup service (now expanded to a daily service!) allows UC users to request printed library materials in the Library Catalog for pickup at designated locations. Requests made daily Monday-Friday are typically available the next 1-2 business days. Users should wait for an e-mail pickup notice before coming to the library to pick up requested items. There is a limit of 10 items per request/25 a week.
Due dates have been automatically set for February 15, 2021. When searching for print materials in the Library Catalog, items with the status of “Click & Collect” are available for request. Items from one library location cannot be requested for pickup at another library location.
Click & Collect pickup locations and details per participating library are available on the Libraries web site.
Items requested from SWORD (Southwest Ohio Regional Depository) will be sent to Langsam Library only for pickup. Please note – SWORD will initially appear as the pickup location at the time of request, but will change to Langsam as the request is processed.
Updates to Click & Collect will continue to be posted online.
For other research and library service needs, the University of Cincinnati Libraries remains open and available online to provide users with access to library resources and services.
By using Berlin Philharmonic Digital Concert Hall, UC patrons can experience the complete 2020/21 season of the Berlin Philharmonic online. There are two access options: “Direct Access” or to “Login” by creating a personal account that will enable additional features like playlists and email notifications. BOTH OPTIONS WORK for UC patrons. When off campus, remember to use the “proxy” address URL from the CCM Library homepage (under Online Video). Check out the 2020/21 season brochure to see what’s coming up (hint: there’s a live concert this Friday Aug. 28 at 1:00pm).

Off Campus Access
UC Libraries have made a change to accessing resources from off campus this summer. Instead of the library login, you will now access resources through the standard UC login screen and DUO authentication. This means, if you’ve already logged into a UC resource, like Canvas, you’ll be able to seamlessly connect to library virtual resources.
For faculty and staff: to make sure links to library resources works with single sign on, please remember to use proxied links. Some databases generate a proxy link automatically with their permanent URL, but if you need to generate a proxy link of your own, UC Libraries has created a proxy link generator available at this page. More information on finding a resource’s permanent link and adding the proxy is available at this site.
Using the UCBA Library
Things look a bit different in the UCBA Library this semester. Here’s a quick video that covers the different ways to use the library this fall.
Chat with the UCBA Library!
Students, staff and faculty can now chat in real-time with the UCBA Library, Monday – Friday, 10am – 2pm. Visit the UCBA Library website and click on Questions? Ask the UCBA Library! button.
Virtual research support is also available Monday – Friday, 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. We reply to email and form questions within one day. Questions that occur outside of service hours will be addressed the following business day (if Friday, responses will be addressed on Monday).
Welcome to fall semester at the CCM Library.
The physical library is open Monday-Friday 1-6pm. Appointments are available for study spaces in the Reading Room and the Media Lab (including use of computers, media equipment and practice pianos). There is currently no browsing in the score and journal rooms. Please see the CCM Library Re-Opening FAQs.
The Click & Collect retrieval and pickup service allows UC users to request physical library materials in the Library Catalog. Pickup is at designated locations, including the CCM Library, Monday-Friday. Please see the CCM Library Re-Opening FAQs.
OhioLINK and Interlibrary Loan Borrowing have resumed.
Clermont College Library will reopen on August 24 for the Fall 2020 semester. To help address questions, the library has developed a Fall 2020 FAQs page, which we hope will help Clermont students, faculty, and staff understand library operations in the upcoming semester. We anticipate the page will need to be updated throughout as we navigate these unfamiliar times, so feel free to refer to the page often.
Here are a few highlights for things you can expect from your Clermont College Library:
