Multi-Language Education & The University Libraries

December is “Learn a Foreign Language” month within the United States and this provides our research community with the prime opportunity to explore different ways to connect more closely with the world at large. Popular dialects from Afrikaans to Zulu and others in-between are available for your discovery.

The University Libraries has various links to different language resources in order to aid your research efforts. This includes general  Books on Language, SHU Search – Introduction to Languages, along with Languages & Library Guides found on our homepage.

We welcome you to our information center in the near future, but in the meantime if you need detailed help through the University Libraries. You can book a research appointment here: Research Appointment Site.
