Announcing the 2022-2023 University of Cincinnati Libraries Annual Report<\/a>. My tenure as dean and university librarian began in mid-August 2023, a time of great growth at the University of Cincinnati. I\u2019ve spent these past six months learning as much as I can about the Libraries \u2013 how our mission to \u201cempower discovery, stimulate learning and inspire the creation of knowledge by connecting students, faculty, researchers and scholars to dynamic data, information and resources\u201d supports the university\u2019s NEXT Lives Here Strategic Directions. Documents such as the Annual Report have been key to my education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this Annual Report, we look back at the top News & Events<\/strong>, applaud Staff Accomplishments & Milestones<\/strong> and present the Libraries By the Numbers<\/strong> and Financially<\/strong>. Under the leadership of interim dean and university librarian Lori Harris, we welcomed a significant number of new librarians and staff members who will provide essential library services and research support and help move the Libraries forward. We acquired, processed, preserved and made available collections used for research. We held events to bring people into the Libraries to interact with our facilities and collections. We created welcoming places \u2013 both virtual and in-person \u2013 for people to study, research and collaborate. And, we provided our expertise to the students, faculty and researchers who rely on UC Libraries for their academic pursuits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking Forward<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While we celebrate the accomplishments of the past academic year, we also continue to move forward and plan for the future. This past fall we began the process of developing an updated strategic plan with goals and initiatives that will continue to advance the mission of the University of Cincinnati. This plan will build upon the successes of UC Libraries and respond to the rapidly changing landscape of higher education, as well as the increasingly diverse needs of our students, faculty and researchers. The strategic plan will be completed this summer and will guide our work for the next three years. Stay tuned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the meantime, enjoy reading the 2022-2023 University of Cincinnati Libraries Annual Progress Report<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
