Items for Checkout

Circulating Materials

Our book collection is made up of a number of volumes on a wide variety of topics. In addition to materials to support the Catholic mission of the University, we have a collection of classic fiction and a noncirculating collection of older and more valuable resources that can be accessed on request.

Laptops for the Semester

Laptops are available for borrowing for the library for up to the length of the current semester. These laptops will be due back to the library at the end of the semester (regardless of when they were checked out). Failure to return a checked-out laptop will result in a fine of $1000.00.

Students wishing to check out a laptop must have an SEU ID and be entered into the library management system. Once the student is registered in the library system, they will then have to fill out a form. Following this, the laptop will be lent and students will be responsible for it as well as responsible for returning it on time.

In-Library Use Only

Reserve Items

Faculty may request that specific books, articles, or other media (usually required or supplemental course reading material) be available on a reserve basis, meaning that the borrowing period is limited so that more students can view the material within a short period of time. Course reserves are available on the main floor at the Circulation Desk.

Reserve Laptops

The library has special laptops in the reserve collection as well. This means that students, staff, and faculty who have a SEU ID who are in the library management system can check laptops out for use. They must remain in Mahoney Library or the Student Success Center (A or B Wing), and have a two (2) hour time limit due to battery restrictions.
