The Seton Hall University Libraries are now offering an online retrieval and hold service. With this service, patrons can request a book, CD, or DVD, and pick it up from the circulation desk of the Walsh, Seminary, or Law Library.
The blue “place a hold” button is located on the right-hand side of book records in our catalog. When users click on this button, they are prompted to log in using their SHU credentials, and then to choose where they wish to pick up the item. The item will be retrieved by library staff and held at the designated circulation desk for pickup. Items will be available 12 hours after the request is made.
To request a book from the Law Library, please use this form:

We trust that this service represents another step forward in enhancing the accessibility of the University Libraries’ resources, and we look forward to serving you.
SHU Libraries are delighted to announce that CAS has granted us unlimited access to SciFinder, a major research tool for chemistry and related sciences. No more not being able to log on because the available “seats” are occupied! In addition, SciFinder now integrates well with ChemBioDraw, to which SHU Libraries also provides access.
If you are a chemist or taking chemistry courses, sign up for a web-based SciFinder account. You can find the instructions for accessing SciFinder and ChembioDraw on the chemistry research guide.
SciFinder training and information session is being held on Tuesday, August 26th as part of the chemistry graduate student seminar series in McNulty Auditorium, 5.45-7.00 pm
During the weeks of August 4-8 and 18-22, 2014 the Archives, Walsh Library, will be closed to researchers so that we can accomplish some work in the vault that we cannot do when school is in full session in the Fall and Spring semesters. This work will help us to improve our service. We appreciate your understanding and apologize for any inconvenience.
you can check if you have books that need to be returned under “using the library” >>> “my library account” — use your PirateNet user name and password to login. If you have materials that are not overdue, you can renew them online through our new library system.
