LGBTQ+ Pride Month Resources & University Libraries

LGBTQ+ Pride Month, is a month-long observance dedicated to celebrating the contributions of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer culture and community. Since the very first observance in 1970, honoring the LGBTQ+ community has continued and grown significantly over time and continues strong to this day. The University Libraries is proud to provide our research community with more details on the LGBTQ+ experience.

There are several resources found within our collection that covers the value and connects everyone to knowledge about the LGBTQ+ community. A fine starting point can be found within the LGBTQ+ University Libraries Research Guide that showcases various helpful resources of note.

The Guide is further complimented by numerous circulating book titles that can be found within our Book Catalog and via the SHU Search site along with specific LGBTQ+ Databases for additional perspective.

World Cup Soccer Championship – Library Guide

The University Libraries joins the global community in celebrating the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) sponsored World Cup Championship. This tournament has been contested every four years since 1930 (with the exception of 1942 and 1946 due to World War II) and the current edition will take place across various venues within North America (United States, Canada, and Mexico) between June 11-July 19, 2026.

The creation of a special World Cup Library Research Guide by Walsh Library student employees (and Football/Soccer enthusiasts) Mr. Rivan Youssef and Mr. Alex Ralli has been created with assistance from Professor David Frank, Access Services Librarian.

This valuable guide provides a selection of SHU Library Resources to support interest in the FIFA World Cup 2026 and the history of the World Cup, along with useful outside resources related to the event. Please be sure to fill out our Questionnaire!
