MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN As the academic year approaches its final weeks of classes, I would like to take this time to highlight some of our year-long updates of Alden Library. In this edition of Gatherings, we spotlight the students who use OHIO Libraries.

In today’s busy collaborative learning environment, the need for adaptable learning space is more apparent than ever. That growing demand by students has prompted us to open Alden Library’s fourth floor 24 hours a day, which in turn, has transformed the fourth floor

into a popular destination for late-night studying.

Additionally, because much of student learning takes place outside the classroom, and oftentimes with other students, the Academic Achievement Center has moved to the second floor alongside the Learning Commons. With the increased visibility of the center nestled near the second floor main entrance, students now have more opportunities for out-of-classroom learning. Collaborative learning is one of the top activities on the second floor.

Lastly, we thought it would be fun to contrast Alden Library’s busy collaborative learning environment, which is reflected in its 1.3 million student and faculty entrance numbers (a 23 percent increase from the year before), with the more formal environment of students using Chubb Library from the 1960s.

Hope you enjoy this special edition.

Thank you for your support of OHIO Libraries.

Behind every great university is a great library, and behind every great library are people like you!

Academic Achievement Center Finds New Home

By Amelia Kibbe

Although it’s after hours for the Academic Achievement Center (AAC), groups of students still use the tutoring and writing zone to meet with classmates about class assignments.

Aduei Riak (left), a first-generation graduate student studying public health, looks forward to her weekly sessions with sophomore Mary Reichle (right), a peer tutor for AAC. Riak said Reichle helps her stay on track with her courses “…because she is such a great teacher. Mary is amazing.”

In the early fall of 2016, then-freshman Mary Reichle found herself in a small predicament.

“I actually could not find it…” she recalled. “I was like the lost little freshman.”

The marine biology major had come to the first floor of Alden Library looking for the Academic Achievement Center (AAC), the University’s student center for tutoring, group study sessions and supplemental instruction.

Today, she laughs as she tells the story. Now a sophomore and a tutor for the center, she spends much of her time in the AAC’s new home on the second floor.

Last April, officials rolled out the first phase of a renovation plan for Alden Library and moved the AAC up a floor and adjacent to the Library’s Learning Commons and one of its main entrances.

“Being on the second floor where students are actually coming into the building creates an opportunity for our office to be seen as a hub of student support services as well as to really advocate, or show, our working relationship with the Libraries,” said Tamekia Scott, assistant dean of academic achievement and executive director of the AAC.

Along with newly renovated classrooms and group study rooms, the second-floor center also features increased peertutoring space.

Scott Bowers, a senior in his third year of tutoring for the AAC, said the new location has increased the number of passersby asking about AAC services. More foot traffic means more tutoring sessions—good news for the general chemistry major who one day hopes to teach.

“You can actually see out of some of the windows,” Bowers joked. “It’s a more open environment, and it feels more inviting, honestly. It was just so secluded and hidden in the back behind bookshelves [when it was on the first floor].”

The extra table space in the AAC allows for students to spread their work out for productive tutoring sessions.

Both Bowers and Scott said they hope the transition to a new location also transitions the notion that AAC services are only for students who struggle academically or ones beginning their college careers.

classes—opening your notebook and solidifying things with a classmate really helps. When you get groups of students working together is when you have the most productive sessions.”

“It really important for people to use the tutoring center, even if they are doing really well in their classes,” Bowers said. “It’s helpful just to talk to somebody else about your

Freshman Malia Miller, who uses the AAC for both its supplemental instruction classes and one-on-one peer tutoring, said she agrees with Bowers.

Currently, the AAC’s services include peer tutoring, academic skills, supplemental instruction and writing coaching services.

“I think it is important because I go to math supplemental instruction, and that is really helpful,” said the health services administration major. “But sometimes I need one-on-one tutoring because I get more attention—like questions I really need answered. We focus on the things I really need.”

Scott, who has held her position since the fall of 2016, said as the number of services the center provides continues to expand, increased visibility has become a key focus.

Freshmen talk during their UC 2900 class, a skills course taught by instructors from the Academic Achievement Center. Here, they participate in a class discussion on privilege and stereotyping.

Senior Scott Bowers (left), a veteran tutor for the Academic Achievement Center, began tutoring after attending supplemental instruction sessions his freshman year. Bowers said he is thankful for the much-needed new location. “The second floor is really an incredible change over the first floor,” he said. “It is not intimidating.”

“What we have tried to do is really transition the notion that all academic support systems are just for students who are struggling or at-risk students,” said Scott. “We want to help students, as well as faculty and staff—just the community overall—to understand that we are here for all students. It is for all students.”

Alden’s Fourth Floor OPENS 24 HOURS “It’s fantastic,” said Bill Reader, “that Ohio University can offer students a 24-hour facility, such as Alden’s fourth floor, where students can go to get work done in a space that is comfortable, safe, and entirely devoted to academic work.”

Reader, an associate professor in the Scripps School of Journalism and chair of the University Library Committee, has first-hand knowledge of the role that Alden Library plays in student success.

“More and more, students are looking for late-night and overnight spaces to study, conduct research, and collaborate with others. The truth of modern college life is that dorms and apartments are fun places to live and socialize, but noisy neighbors and roommates make them increasingly less conducive to quiet study and serious collaboration,” said Reader.

OPEN HERE FOR A LOOK AT THE EDWIN WATTS CHUBB LIBRARY, 1931 TO 1969

Alden’s Fourth Floor OPENS 24 HOURS

A Look at the Edwin Watts Chubb Library 1931 to 1969

Before the Vernon R. Alden Library, there was the Edwin Watts Chubb Library, a Georgian Colonial architecture of red brick and limestone erected on the northwest corner of the College Green.

Completed in 1931 in keeping with the architectural style found in the early buildings on campus, Chubb Library was built to meet the student needs of the 1930s and beyond.

(left) A 1965 image of two intensely focused women studying inside Chubb Library. (above) In 1965, a student studies at a workstation illuminated by a bright window and specialized lamp located on the upper-floor stacks of Chubb.

A woman paging through a book among Chubb Library’s “stacks” was typical in the 1960s. Most stacks consisted of high shelving, small aisles and very little room for spreading out research.

a debate and text-book room, rare book rooms and a room for those who wish to use typewriters.”

In the mid-1930s, Elmer Prince, a journalist for The Athens Messenger who wrote “Library on Campus is much Used,” said that more people used Chubb “… last year than the total combined population of Columbus, Logan, Nelsonville and Pomeroy.” Prince went on to say that attendance and circulation reached an all-time high with “more than 305,000 patrons.”

Amenities included the children’s room, which housed a juvenile collection on the ground floor, and the stacks area where thousands of books were available to students and faculty alike. On the main floor, Chubb housed the card catalog, the library office, the reserve reading room and the reference department.

According to a 1930s newspaper clipping subtitled, “New Features of Structure are Described,” other plans included “…six seminar rooms, cubicles or individual alcoves on each floor fitted with desk, chair and table lamp for the use of faculty members,

During the 1960s, students registered for classes inside Chubb Library. Once inside, they generally waited in lines to have classes approved by staff and faculty.

Over the next 40 years, Chubb continued to expand, but by the 1960s at 17,500 students, the University had outgrown its Library and began plans for the construction of the Vernon Roger Alden Library.

Today, Alden Library has evolved into a vibrant student-learning hub, which is easily reflected by its over 1.3 million visitors—an extraordinary 23 percent increase from the year before.

A 1967 photograph shows a woman diligently searching the card catalog. In its day, the card catalog was an effective resource in a researcher’s quest for knowledge.

Staff working in Ohio University’s Chubb Library often spent hours organizing individual book cards at the circulation desk— both after books were checked out and then again once the books were returned.

On a snowy evening outside Chubb Library in 1968, students can be seen inside the Library studying among the towering book stacks.

“Students come to Alden Library for all kinds of reasons—they need a place to study away from their rooms, they’re working with others on a group project, or they’ve found the Library is the place they can focus better than anywhere else,” said Jacob Jakuszeit, Library support associate and overnight supervisor.

The fourth floor, with floor-toceiling windows overlooking the campus, creates a welcoming environment for students looking for quiet study and collaborative group work. Featuring soft seating, diverse work stations and mobile white boards, the space offers students a comfortable area to set up camp, especially, for a long night of study.

“The real rock stars of the overnight shift at Alden [however] are the student workers,” said Jakuszeit.

One student employee working those late night hours is Rachel Dowler (pictured right), a junior studying psychology and sociology, who spoke about the frustration students experienced—before the fourth floor opened 24/5 this past fall—and the second floor remained open past midnight.

(April 2017) “It’s very difficult to find a seat on the second floor, and I’ve even noticed more of an influx this year just compared to last year,” said Dowler. “{Because] it’s really hard to find a seat, students often have to get here earlier in the evening just to study after midnight—[and] study rooms are crazy busy all the time.”

During midterms and finals, students “really stressed out,” said Dowler, when they couldn’t find a place to study.

For those who have not experienced staying past midnight in Alden Library, many will be surprised to read what OHIO students say about the change in hours.

(Opposite Page Top Left) Feb. 8, 2017: Blake Weissman, a freshman in finance studying at 9 p.m. for a test said, “I usually like to come to the Library late at night, especially if I have an exam, or something like that, instead of my dorm.

The Library is such a relaxed place [to work].”

ALT-TEXTBOOK INITIATIVE In 2015, the Libraries created Alt-Textbook, an initiative that encourages faculty to move away from traditional textbooks in their classrooms and instead make use of openly licensed online material and materials purchased annually by the Libraries.

BY AMELIA KIBBE | GRAPHICS BY CHANCE BRINKMAN-SULL

Results from PIRGs studies have shown that many students will not purchase textbooks they consider too expensive, even though most of them worry not having those materials could hurt their classroom performance.
