Read the University of Cincinnati Libraries 2017/18 Annual Progress Report

UC Libraries Progress ReportRead the University of Cincinnati Libraries 2017/18 Annual Progress Report where we ask the question: Have We Transformed Yet?

In this year’s annual Progress Report, we make note of the accomplishments of the previous year, as well as take a holistic view of UC Libraries since the Strategic Plan was launched five years ago. We celebrate the continued success of annual events that promote library collections and services, highlight milestones of major library initiatives and feature library spaces.

Integral to fulfilling the work of the Strategic Plan is the dedication of the faculty and staff of UC Libraries along with the investment of our donors. By highlighting the accomplishments of our hard-working staff and listing the current donors, both groups are recognized and celebrated in this Progress Report.

Finally, if all of the accomplishments listed in this report signal that we are at least on the road to transformation than we must ask ourselves the question…what’s next?

The Progress Report is available online at https://issuu.com/uclibraries/docs/uclannualprogressreport17_18.

aoakmanThe University of Cincinnati Library has provided me with a quiet learning environment and many resources to further my learning.  It is important to me that the university and its libraries care about my education.

efalerThe UC libraries are important to me because they provide a place for me to focus when I have tons of homework. On top of this, the libraries provide a great environment for group study when I want to work on homework with my friends.

jcovingtonUC Libraries is important to me because the library is considered my “get-away” spot where I can do my work with little distraction, and just also relax. I have made a few friends with being in the library and I also love my co-workers! The library also hosts nice programs and seems like they cater to the staff/faculty and students as much as they can.

Jazmine Covington, junior, McMicken College of Arts & Sciences, organizational leadership

sscheidlerThe library is important to me for many reasons, however, I would have to say that the library supplies a quiet workspace with resources to databases, articles, journals and (of course) books. It provides all things that are necessary to complete an assignment (except motivation). I am current working as a communications design co-op in Langsam and it is providing me with real-world experience.

Sami Scheidler, sophomore, DAAP, communication design

 

 

tsnyderThe UC Libraries are important to me because they provide a place to efficiently get my school work done. There are many tools made available to students at the libraries such as printing, research databases and books that are required for our classes and if you need any help, there are plenty of employees to assist you.

Tate Snyder, junior, CECH, criminal justice and paralegal studies

 

 

svollmerWorking at the Archives and Rare Books Library has been one of the best experiences of my college career. Not only do I get to work with our collections–which contain so much of Cincinnati’s history, as well as pieces of the world’s history– but I get to work side-by-side with the people who bring that history to life each day.

Sydney Vollmer, junior, Lindner College of Business, marketing

rknisely“UC Libraries are important to me because we preserve old volumes that cannot be replaced. They are an important part of our history that may be over-looked in this digital era.  The history of these documents are just as important as their content, and I am proud to be working with an institution that understands their value.”

Rhianna Knisely, freshman, DAAP, urban planning

 

 

stibbs“The UC Libraries have provided for my inspiration and education invaluably over the years. The availability of facilities, technology and people have always been here for me, boosting my productivity and opportunities, and allowing me to explore, not just books, but my real potential.”

Samuel J. Tibbs, senior, DAAP, Architecture

 

dmarcon“When I got to campus the library not only gave me a job but a place to be and a lot of new friends. My first year wouldn’t have been nearly as fun or productive without Langsam.”
