This fall, UC Libraries continued the pursuit of our mission to become the \u201cglobally engaged intellectual commons of the university.\u201d<\/p>\n

We began the semester with the announcement of Langsam Library\u2019s transformation to a 24×7<\/a> space, and the opening of its new Starbucks cafe. We celebrated a number of new hires, including the director of the University of Cincinnati Press, Liz Scarpelli<\/a> and the head of the CCM Library, Jenny Doctor<\/a>. We featured new displays, such as Big Bone Lick: A Place of Discovery<\/a> at the Geography-Mathematics-Physics Library, physical and online exhibits\u00a0 celebrating Native American Heritage<\/a> found at Langsam Library and on our library website, and a Halloween exhibit<\/a> of creepy medical artifacts at the Winkler Center. We also celebrated at the Winkler Center the 100th<\/sup> birthday of Dr. Henry R. Winkler<\/a>.<\/p>\n

UC Libraries sponsored numerous events, including ones for Hispanic<\/a> Heritage<\/a> Month<\/a> and the bi-annual Life of the Mind<\/a>.* I held my third bi-annual Dean\u2019s Advisory Council<\/a> meeting.<\/p>\n

All of these visible and publicized changes and events don\u2019t account for the hard work done behind the scenes by UC Libraries\u2019 excellent faculty and staff.<\/p>\n

This spring will be a time of re-calibration. We will continue to serve the students, faculty, researchers and scholars of the University of Cincinnati community while examining the best way forward. On this blog, I plan to dig deeper into the initiatives, departments and personnel that make up UC Libraries.<\/p>\n

Thank you for reading and welcome back!<\/p>\n
