Services for Faculty

Resources for Faculty 

University Libraries offers innovative services to our faculty for your classrooms, your research, and your scholarly presence. Walsh Library on the South Orange campus works closely with the Interprofessional Health Sciences Library in Nutley.

Liaison Librarians collaborate with academic departments and can provide help with:

  • Library Instruction - Sign-up for an in-class instruction session with your librarian of choice. Instruction sessions can focus on using the Libraries' website to find resources for an assignment, learning basic advanced research skills, avoiding plagiarism and how to cite, including how to use citation managers, etc. Instruction sessions can be for both undergraduate or graduate classes. Please contact Lead Instruction Librarian Maria Barca (maria.barca@shu.edu) for more information.
  • Copyright and Fair Use  - Understanding copyright law and how fair use can affect research and teaching.
  • Research Data Services - View Data Services workshops, book consultations, view supported software, and request data management plan support.
  • Electronic Theses and Dissertations (ETDs) – Provides guidelines for faculty advisors and students about ETD submission requirements.
  • Streaming Video - Access films through Digital Campus, Kanopy, Academic Video Online
  • Archives & Special Collections and Walsh Gallery – Integrate our physical and digital collections into course assignments and visit new art exhibits year round.

Access Services:

If you are new to Seton Hall, or are preparing new courses, please note that we offer:

Book/Film Ordering – Use this form to order books, ebooks, films for your courses.

Course Reserves - You can make specific resources easily available to your students, via print at the Walsh Library circulation desk or through electronic reserves. Please visit Course Reserves to fill out a request 2-3 weeks before the semester begins. This service allows your students to

save on textbook expenses with this service.

InterLibrary Loan -  Our  robust Interlibrary Loan network (ILL) can deliver electronically requested articles or book chapters, often within 24 hours.

We recommend searching our website first, as we have thousands of journal subscriptions and millions of ebooks, so you can get your materials quickly.  These videos demonstrate how to search books and articles. If we do not have the material, we recommend creating an ILL request as a second step. Please note that articles requested through ILL are not eligible for course use.

Local Borrowing outside of SHU

In addition to ILL, the SHU Community has multiple options for borrowing books at the South Orange Public Library, many local public libraries, and NJ colleges and universities.  Read more at: https://library.shu.edu/localborrowing.
