Welcome to Summer Quarter!
Today is the first day of Summer Quarter! The library staff welcomes you and hope you will seek us out for any research or information needs.
A very important fact to note is that you must be in our library system to be able to request books and gain off-campus access to library resources. IF YOU ARE A BRAND NEW STUDENT THIS QUARTER (ESPECIALLY MTC), YOU ARE MOST LIKELY NOT IN OUR SYSTEM.
You will need to get your campus photo ID taken (at the Alber Student Center) and bring it to the library so we can add you to our system. You will need to fill out a form also. You can go here, fill the form out, print it off and bring it with you when you come to the library.
Please check with a library staff member if you have any questions.

Changes at University Libraries
Whiel we eagerly anticipate the re-opening of Thompson (Main) Library in August, other library changes are occuring.
The Busines Library has now closed and no longer exists as a separate department library. The collection is moving to Thompson (THO) or the Book Depository.
Ackerman Library, which served as the interim main library while the renovation was happening, has now closed permanently to the public. The collection is currently being moved into Thompson but materials can be requested for pick-up to your office or to another library location.
August 3 is the date set for Thompson to be opened to the public and a formal opening will happen on August 22.

State Library launches Find Help in Tough Times
The State Library of Ohio is pleased to announce the launch of Find Help in Tough Times, a new one-stop center on their website to help residents quickly locate important information and resources during these difficult economic times.
According to State Librarian Jo Budler, “The State Library understands that this is a challenging time for everyone. We created the Find Help in Tough Times statewide center to highlight the valuable work of state and federal agencies, as well as state and national organizations, and make it easier for people needing assistance to find their services and information.”
Find Help in Tough Times is easily accessible from the State Library website and is divided into six sections that include Employment, Financial, Health & Wellness, Housing, Parenting, and Help for Seniors. Within these sections there are links to help with topics such as finding jobs, training opportunities, services for the unemployed, insurance, home health care, childcare, tax help, and more.
The State Library welcomes feedback on Find Help in Tough Times and asks for residents to share stories about their experiences during these tough times. Some of the stories will be posted so that others may benefit.
