Hamilton College holds one of the best collections of American Almanacs in the country. Dating from the colonial period through the late nineteenth century, these popular publications informed locals about the calendar, civic holidays, court dates, elections, and even proffered agricultural advice, astrological portents, and jokes.

In fall of 2013, the Library and Information Technology Services (ITS), two formerly separate (but collaborative) organizations, were strategically combined.  Recognizing the rapid changes taking place in the way we access, utilize and analyze information, we believe that as one organization we can better support teaching, learning and college operations.

The mission of the newly merged Library and Information Technology Services (LITS) department is to empower students, faculty and staff to use information and technologies to engage in intellectual exploration, make informed decisions and create and share knowledge.

The division of LITS welcomes Alexandra Rihm, our new First Year Experience Librarian, to Hamilton College.  

Everyone who works at Hamilton has a legal and moral obligation to protect personally identifiable information that they access in their work. Social security numbers, birth dates, credit card numbers, and student grades are all examples of information that is protected by law.
