Clermont College Library Services
Remote and online classes this summer gives us more opportunities to enjoy some rays while getting work done. However, it also means there will be less access to our beautiful campus. The good news is that does not equate to fewer services from your Clermont Library.
Temporary Clermont Library Helpers (with fur)
With all of the library faculty and staff working remotely, we’ve added a few temporary library helpers to our staff. These staff members are usually at our homes, but since work is at home, Clermont College Library wanted you to meet them before they introduce themselves on a video call:
Welcome to Clermont College Library, Kathy Ladell!
Clermont College Library welcomes a new faculty member – Reference Librarian, Kathy Ladell!
Kathy comes to UC Clermont from Northern Illinois University where she served as an Outreach Librarian. Kathy worked for many years with non-profits serving Spanish-speaking individuals before obtaining a master’s degree in Library Science and Latin American Studies from Indiana University. She worked in public libraries for 7 years before transitioning to an academic library.
Kathy’s role at Clermont College Library will focus on reference and research services. She will work to develop online reference services while continuing to support our on-campus students, faculty, and staff.
Please join me in welcoming Kathy to UC Clermont College!
Exploring Academic Search Complete
As you work on final projects and need to find information sources, don’t forget about Academic Search Complete! Academic Search Complete contains news, scholarly articles, magazines, and more. It’s a general database that contains information about a lot of different topics and is especially useful when search results from Summon (the search box on the library homepage) seem overwhelming. Check out the two videos linked below for tips on using Academic Search Complete and advanced database searching to get the right sources fast!
Remember when accessing resources from off-campus, you’ll need to use the proxy login first before you can get into the database. As always, if you need help with accessing Academic Search Complete, using the proxy, or any other library resources, contact us at clermontlibrary@uc.edu for help!
