UC Libraries creates Online Library
While all library physical locations are closed, the University of Cincinnati Libraries remains open online and ready to support teaching, learning and research.
During this time of social isolation, libraries play an important role as a provider of resources and information expertise. UC Libraries’ online presence provides access to the services, resources and people to enable research and scholarly work.
To ease the transition to online research and learning, the Libraries have launched a new, specially designed landing page: https://libraries.uc.edu/online.html. This page serves as a portal to access key online library resources such as databases, e-journals and research guides, as well as to free information resources from global cultural and heritage organizations.
Users can ask reference or research questions through Chat, e-mail or direct contact to a subject librarian or staff member. The page also offers direct search of the library catalog, and links to key online services such as Interlibrary Loan to request e-resources and how to connect from off campus. This portal page will be updated as we continue to transform many of our services into the online environment.
As the library locations remain closed, users are encouraged to keep all library materials. Due dates have been extended and fines will not be incurred for UC, OhioLINK or Interlibrary Loan items. Please do not leave items outside of the library.
The University of Cincinnati Libraries continue to work toward our mission to empower discovery, stimulate learning and inspire the creation of knowledge by connecting students, faculty, researchers and scholars to dynamic data, information and resources.
The faculty and staff of UC Libraries look forward to the day when we can work with you all in person again, but in the meantime, please work with UC Libraries online.

In the mid-1950s Melinda C. Wells Brown moved to Cincinnati to live with her great aunt and became captivated by a collection of miniature Shakespeare plays her great aunt kept on display. Brown came to Cincinnati after the death of her father, and without her great aunt’s guidance and generosity, she would not have been able to continue her education. Her great aunt’s holistic support was instrumental during Brown’s undergraduate studies at the University of Cincinnati — where she worked in the University Library (now known as Blegen Library) and uncovered a deep passion for literature and libraries.
