UC Clermont’s Marcotte Library now has video conferencing rooms available to students. Two group rooms on the first floor now include a new mounted display with a built-in camera and microphone.

Frederick A. Marcotte Library Digital Displays

Posted on by

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.

Fall 2024 Course Reserves at Clermont College’s Frederick A. Marcotte Library

Posted on by

Did you know that students at UC Clermont can check out some course textbooks from the library?

Every semester the library receives a textbook list from the bookstore and we work to put items on course reserve here. We identify course textbooks that are over $100 and try to buy those from the bookstore, our vendors, or by other means if we can. If we happen to have a course book that is under $100 that is already in our existing collection, we will also put those items on course reserve when we find them. Unfortunately we aren’t able to buy some textbooks even if they’re over $100 because they are custom, loose leaf, subscription, or rental only, but we do our best! As of last year, we default to ordering an eBook copy if it is available. If no eBook copy is available for library purchase and circulation, then we will buy a physical copy.

The reserves we have can be seen organized by instructor name at this link. They can be seen organized by class name/number at this link.  

Physical reserves check out for four hours and can be used in the library, some are available as ebooks and can be accessed online any time. Visit UC Clermont Library’s front desk to check out physical reserves.

If you have any questions about course reserves or are an instructor that would like for us to add an item to reserves for any of your courses, please contact the library at clermontlibrary@uc.edu.
