The submitted publications ranged in medium as well as content. There were articles, books, chapters, edited journals, musical scores, artwork, poetry, works of fiction, CDs, DVDs, photography and drone aircraft. There were publications that enlighten and inform, some that inspire and motivate, and others that entertain. While some presented answers to life’s probing questions, others examined the past and explored the future. The publications spanned four languages: English, Spanish, German, and French.

At the event, three UC faculty discussed their published works as part of the program:

The event also featured remarks from Interim Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost Lawrence Johnson and Xuemao Wang, dean and university librarian.

Most of the published works from Authors, Editors and Composers are now on public display in Langsam Library’s fourth and fifth floor lobbies.

“Authors, Editors & Composers” is organized by the University of Cincinnati Libraries and sponsored by Donors to the Libraries Annual Fund. Contributions from this group assist the Libraries in many ways, including providing support for exhibits that draw attention to library collections.

The Full List of Authors, Editors and Composers and publications is available online.

ETD Search and Display is back!

 From OhioLINK:

“Search and Display

We are pleased to report that the ETD data integrity scan passed all vulnerability checks, and all previously published ETD data is back online along with search and display functionality. We would like to thank James Russell of OhioLINK and the OH-Tech development team as well as the information security staff for working diligently to get this service back as soon as possible. If you notice any unusual service behavior, please report it through the usual channels.

Submission and Approval

OhioLINK staff, OH-Tech, and selected members of the ETD Task Force continue to work on testing and review of the submission and approval features. We expect to open up the service to general staff user testing sometime early next week.

OH-Tech is working on the capture and load of submissions into the submission and approval application that were in process at the time of the server incident. We hope to minimize the necessity for resubmission of as much content as possible for the sake of students and ETD administrators.

We apologize for the disruption in service, and thank you for your patience.”
