University Libraries & National Career Development Month

One of the most important goals of our work with the student body is to prepare them not only for their course assignments and academic needs, but also for life after Setonia. In honor of National Career Development Month and beyond, the University Libraries continues to celebrate the importance of labor in various ways.

The University Libraries features several resources that provide a general introduction or advanced look at Employment over the last few years. This area of study can be found within our Book Collections and via our SHU Search results record.

Veterans Day & The University Libraries

We honor the service of our military veterans on campus, and the story of our armed forces can be found inside various works hosted by the University Libraries. Focusing on the efforts of the American experience we also pay tribute to those who gave the ultimate sacrifice in the service of their nation which is recognized through annual Veterans Day commemorations.

Counted among the resources we offer our research community includes various Book Titles and SHU Search results related to Veterans Day proper. In addition, we host a specialized Library Reference Guide which serves as a starting point and continuing education site for those interested in Military Science studies.

All Saints & All Souls Day Resources at the University Libraries

The celebration of individuals both living and deceased is observed through the observance of All Saints Day (November 1st) and All Souls Day (November 2nd) across the world. These dates provide a means of honoring loved ones, friends, and humanity at large, and for some the saints that inspire us from afar.

The University Libraries has a number of print and electronic resources that explore both Saints and Souls from a variety of perspectives. Even beyond the spiritual aspects of the concurrent commemorations, there are also thousands of works that are related to humanity in both general and specific terms within our collection.
