As many may know, the University of Cincinnati contains 13 awesome libraries amongst the three campuses of Uptown, Clermont and Blue Ash. As a librarian at the UCBA Library on the Blue Ash campus, I’ve been to Langsam Library\u00a0numerous times and have\u00a0visited a\u00a0few\u00a0others due to\u00a0various meetings.\u00a0In the\u00a0two and half years I’ve worked for UC, however, I hadn’t really had the\u00a0opportunity to really explore many of these collections. Over spring break, I had the chance to get the behind-the-scenes tour in eight of the 13 libraries.<\/p>\n

By walking ten minutes across (and up!) the Uptown campus, I went from delighting over the DAAP Library’s vast snowglobe collection to admiring one of the Archive and Rare Books Library’s pre-printing press manuscripts. The resources available to all UC students, faculty and staff in the UC collections are vast,\u00a0fascinating and one of the many great things about the University of Cincinnati.<\/p>\n

If you have a chance, be sure to go seek out the many gems in the UC Libraries<\/a>! To see some of my adventure, check out the photos below!<\/p>\n\n\t\t
