Library Website • News & Updates
Library Website Update
In anticipation of our new library services platform, we are making both content and design updates to the library website which will enable us to better support the new catalog and discovery layer. The first wave of updates include:
About the Library: Image Gallery
Thanks to web content specialist Bethany Frazer, we have a new image gallery adjacent to the Welcome to Archer Library introductory information. Here we will feature photos from around Archer Library that spotlight different areas and resources, as well as important news & events.
Library Mission & Vision
Content, resources, and platform updates being made this summer support our stated mission and vision. Including these statements in a more prominent place is a natural progression of the same. Archer Library's mission and vision statements continue to be available on our Faculty & Staff page.
Numismatics Center
The Leo and Laura Thomas Numismatic Center now has its own web page. The Numismatic Center is located on the sixth floor of Archer Library. Visit their new page to discover more!

May 23 • Library Services Freeze
May 23: Library Services Freeze
May 23 - June 20, 2025
We are excited to announce that as a member of the OhioLINK consortium Archer Library will be upgrading its library services platform to Ex Libris Alma/Primo in the summer of 2025.
Our campus can expect an improved user experience with a more intuitive interface to find print and electronic articles, books and other kinds of library materials. As we get closer to “go live,” you will see more information about the new system and changes. Training will be available to help you through the transition.
In preparation for these beneficial enhanced library services, all OhioLINK libraries will pause requesting, lending and borrowing, beginning on May 23, 2025. OhioLINK library transactions will resume June 20, 2025, in conjunction with the release of our new library services platform. All Archer Library-owned and Ashland Theological Seminary Library-owned items will continue to circulate as normal.
Learn more on our Library Services Platform Guide.
