Library Services & Support due to COVID-19

All items that were due back between February 23 - September 1, 2020 have been automatically renewed and are now due back by September 2, 2020. All fines for items due during this same period have been waived. All items are subject to an earlier recall, and the individuals will be contacted directly, if this is the case. For all questions please contact circulation@shu.edu.

While the library is closed, returning books to the library's outdoor book drop box may be possible. First contact SHU Public Safety (973) 761-9300 and make a request to come to campus to drop off your books. Public Safety will determine if it is safe for you to do so.

A shipping label to return items checked out from Walsh Library can be requested using this form:

The library is offering online services, for example ebooks, article & book chapter requesting, and more. Library staff is working remotely to help as possible. If you have any questions please reach out to circulation@shu.edu.

On Saturday March 21st, Governor Murphy issued a stay-at-home order for the state of New Jersey, which included the closure of all non-essential businesses, including libraries. At this time, access to our physical collections, including interlibrary loan, are unavailable. We are not able to access the library or send and receive any packages. We encourage all patrons to adhere to this stay-at-home order.

For more information on the state's response to COVID-19, visit nj.gov

Due to the closure of our and many other libraries, we have temporarily suspended Interlibrary loan of physical materials.

Articles and book chapters may still be requested. Availability depends on the item being digitized, but we are trying multiple providers and ways to find resources.

Ebook borrowing is available on a very limited basis. This is dependent on licensing from the publisher, which is often does not allow for Interlibrary Loan. 

Thank you for your understanding.
