Frederick A. Marcotte Library Digital Displays

UC Clermont Library maintains three monthly displays that pertain to timely issues; one is inside the library and two are in display cases in the Snyder and Edith Peters Jones buildings. You’ve probably seen these throughout campus and maybe even checked out materials from one. For these physical displays we lay out books, DVDs, periodicals, and QR codes relating to a particular topic. We feature all the materials available in these physical displays on our digital display website so that you can explore what is on our physical display shelves from the comfort of your home, access electronic materials, and request items from each display. Our display topics for the month of September 2024 are Appalachian and Rural Studies, US Elections, and AI.
