#SHU_Libraries The hours for the Thanksgiving Recess 2016:
Please note that there will be NO Interlibrary Loan requests processed during the Thanksgiving Recess. Our lending services will resume Monday, Nov. 28th.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
In Walsh library, we have 27 Group Study Rooms spread out between the 3rd & 4th floors.
Group Study Room keys can be checked out by a group of students and must be returned by the end of the day (when the library closes). There is an 8-hour daily limit imposed on groups using study rooms during finals (when the library is open 24 hours) in both Fall and Spring semesters. Our complete group study room policy is here.
Due to heavy demand this semester, all group study rooms are claimed and in use by noon each weekday.
We would like to make more group study rooms available to more students, and are seeking student feedback with a brief survey.
Currently enrolled SHU students may take part in this survey by going here: http://shu.libsurveys.com/Study-Room-Survey
Thanks to all who participate!

It offers integrated access to internationally comparable statistics, full-text market reports and real time news analysis from industry and country experts.
Passport allows students to:
With Passport, students are able to put classroom theory into practice and create reports with real-world relevance for projects such as:
You can find out about this database, as well as other business and economics databases, by visiting out Business & Economics Research Guide.
With Midterms set to begin immediately following the Fall Break, there will be no guest access to computers starting Wednesday October 12th through Friday November 4th.
Only SHU students, faculty, administrators, staff and Alumni (with proper ID) can access the library’s computers, during this time period.
Guest access will resume on Saturday, November 5th.
HeinOnline is an excellent legal resource for US Government Research, Diplomacy, International Law and History that you can access on or off campus.
Please join Seton Hall University Libraries Tuesday, October 11 from 11am -12pm for an informative webinar to learn more about this powerful database.

If you’ve been up to the library’s 3rd and 4th floor recently, you may have noticed things are looking a little different!
Over the summer and continuing through the Fall Semester, library students, staff, and faculty have been busy shifting books around, and freeing up more space. This will allow room for future growth of the library’s collections.
As a result, you will see some open shelves on the 4th floor–we plan to move books into these areas as we continue to shift books for the rest of this semester.
Some call number ranges that were on the 4th floor, have moved down to the 3rd floor. The 3rd floor now houses call numbers PN 4181 – Z, and the 4th floor houses call numbers A – PN 4162.
We have updated our 3rd floor map to reflect these changes, here.
Unfortunately, keeping our 4th floor map updated with correct call number and locations is nearly impossible until the shifting is complete. If you need help finding any book, ask at our Circulation or Reference desks, on the 2nd floor.
We apologize for this disruption, but once this project is completed, you’ll find we have a much more user-friendly and easy-to-navigate book collection, for everyone.
We’ll keep sending out updates, and in the meantime you can contact me directly if you have any questions or concerns.
