New Digs for the Blog

Hello everyone,

This blog has been moved to a new location. Please see us at http://oclamp.otterbein.edu/library/

CD Shelves Get an Upgrade

The library has new shelving for the CD collection. They can be found in the library basement. Courtright has more than 2,000 CDs available to borrow. The rental period is seven days but you can renew four times. Visit the basement and see what music we have!

Stock up early on Christmas Presents!

In other words, the annual Torch & Key book sale is beginning earlier this year. Starting Tuesday Sept 22nd at 9AM it opens to Otterbein then the next morning (7:45AM) it opens to the community. Hard back books go for 1 dollar and paperbacks are 50 cents. I randomly pulled 3 books - Fighting Mountaineers: The Struggle for Justice in the Appalachians by Edwin D. Hoffman (1979), My Parents are Divorced, too by Bonnie Robson, MD (1980), and The Cookbook of the United Nations (To Serve Man) compiled by Barbara Kraus (1964). All these and more will be available. So come early, come often, and buy up these books to support the scholarships for the Torch and Key Honor Society.

Welcome to all new students!

Last Friday was orientation as we welcomed new students to the college, showed them the library, and introduced them to the great resources available through the library. Have a great year everyone!

Hours change

We have expanded our hours on Saturday to provide you better access to the collection. Starting September 12th, the library will be open from 11AM to 6PM.

To see regular operating hours and any holiday changes, check out the hours page from the library.

Welcome New Students!

Historic New York Times 1851-206 now online

The library now offers access to the New York Times from 1851-2006.

It may be known as “America’s newspaper,” but for more than a century, The New York Times has commanded an international readership. The world news and personal stories captured by this Pulitzer Prize-winning newspaper for more than 150 years are available through ProQuest.
