Returning Library Materials

Because the UC Clermont Library is closed and does not have a book return dropbox, it is not accepting any returns. Please do not attempt to return any materials at this time. If you plan on returning in the fall, please keep your materials and return them at that time. Fines will not accumulate. Otherwise, books may be returned to the drop slot at the main entrance of Langsam Library. When we get closer to returning to campus, we will send out more updates about returning materials.  If you have any questions, email the Clermont College Library at clermontlibrary@uc.edu.

The Clermont College Library is closed until face-to-face classes resume. Therefore, access to our collection, picking up and dropping of library materials, and access to our spaces are not available. However, access to our e-collections and virtual assistance remains open for business.

Yes! Here are just a few ways:

• You can email the library at clermontlibrary@uc.edu. A response will be given within 1 hour when received during business hours (Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-4 p.m.).
• Schedule to meet with a librarian virtually to receive help with resources, research, and citation.

Because UC Libraries are closed, library materials are limited to our e-collection available on the UC Libraries website. Please note when using e-collections off-campus, there are some extra steps to ensure your access to library content.

At this time, OhioLINK and SearchOhio borrowing has been suspended until further notice. Electronic resources are still available through Summon.

Because the library is closed until face-to-face classes resume, it is recommended that you reach out to your instructor to see if an alternative reading assignment can be found. Clermont College Library staff is happy to work with students or instructors seeking alternative reading assignments. You can contact us at clermontlibrary@uc.edu.

Library users are encouraged to keep library materials during this time. Because the UC Clermont Library is closed and does not have a book return dropbox, it is not accepting any returns. Please do not attempt to return any materials at this time. If you plan on returning in the fall, please keep your materials and return them at that time.  Where possible, due dates have already been extended to May 4, 2020. Fines will not be incurred for UC, OhioLINK or Interlibrary Loan items.

Otherwise, books may be returned to the drop slot at the main entrance of Langsam Library.

Clermont College Library staff are happy to assist you. You are always welcome to email clermontlibrary@uc.edu for help locating resources. As a default, we have a few quick recommendations:

1. Visit UC Libraries to browse the millions of items already available online through our library.
2. Explore Open Educational Resources.
3. A number of external vendors/publishers have made their videos and content temporarily available in response to the crisis.
