Where has Refworks gone?

If you are looking for Refworks – our bibliographic management program – the university’s subscription to Refworks ended January 1, 2017, permanently.

As an alternative to Refworks, we are recommending a free bibliographic citation management tool called Zotero. Instructions on how to install Zotero can be found here http://library.shu.edu/zotero/installing.

BOOK EXCHANGE and NEW BOOK shelves

Walsh Library is pleased to once again offer freely available books for your reading pleasure, just in time for the holiday season.  Come and help yourself to a book and/or leave a book for others to take.  The “BOOK EXCHANGE” shelves are located on the 2nd floor of Walsh Library, on the wall next to the Silent Study Room.  These books do not need to be checked out.

Further along the same wall you will find our relocated “NEW BOOK” area.  These books may be checked out at the circulation desk.
