Brea McQueen Leaving UC Clermont Library
Brea McQueen has resigned from her position as the Operations Manager in the UC Clermont Library. Her last day will be on August 12, 2022. Brea joined UC Clermont in September 2021. In her short time here, she has helped move forward ideas for our 2nd floor renovation, organized our student workforce, and made changes to our technology lending program. She will be missed but has an amazing opportunity to join the faculty at Miami University – Hamilton as the Student Success Librarian. We wish her the best.
A search committee will commence immediately to refill her position. In the interim, questions that you may have sent to Brea can be sent to ClermontLibrary@uc.edu.

New Library Hours at UC Clermont
Earlier in the semester, UC Clermont ran a pilot for extended hours. As promised, we did some reflection on the use and attendance of these hours. It took us a little time to prepare the staff, but we are now ready to announce longer hours for the remainder of the semester.
Beginning November 1, UC Clermont Library will remain open until 6:30 PM on Mondays through Thursdays. Friday hours will remain the same with a 5 PM close. These hours will be in place until the semester ends on November 10.
Receive Help Updating Library URLs from UC Clermont
User access to electronic library resources is controlled by UC credentials and the Libraries’ proxy server. To improve management of this, UC Libraries changed proxy servers. As a result, all URLs containing the library proxy need to be updated to the new server address before December 2021.
If you do not update links before then, they will no longer work for faculty or students. If you have links in your Canvas Course, Bookmarks, or reference manager, visit these office hours to receive help in update the URLs. Associate Librarian Catie Carlson will be available on Zoom and in McDonough 150 on the following dates:
- Thursday, October 21 at 2 PM
- Wednesday, November 10 at 2 PM
- Tuesday, November 30 at 2 PM
To join via Zoom, sign in to Campus Link to view the details for each event. Registration is not required to join on campus or online. See you then!
