Fa-la-la your way through finals at Mullen Library! From workshops that keep your research in tune to exhibits that shine brighter than holiday lights, we’ve got everything you need to wrap up the semester on a high note. Cozy hours, quiet spaces, and plenty of cheer!
Let it Snow with Acta Sanctorum
Oh, the weather outside is frightful, but Acta Sanctorum makes research so delightful! This month’s featured database lets you explore centuries of saints’ lives and traditions. Ideal for history, theology, and humanities students. If your research needs a glow, let it snow, let it snow…let it saint! A flurry of holy history awaits in our Database List at libraries.catholic.edu.
Make the Yuletide Melodious
Have yourself a merry little listen with Naxos Music Library. Stream festive albums and performances to keep your spirits bright while you study and write. Build your own playlist at cua.naxosmusiclibrary.com or via our Database List. Let the music sleigh.
Make Our Circulation Team’s Wish Come True
We don’t want a lot for Christmas—there’s just one thing we need…your books back on time! Help us end the semester without any late-fees blues by returning or renewing your loans. For all your due dates, renewals, and fees, simply check out My Library Account located on the homepage. Return, renew, rejoice!
Research in a Text-Mining Wonderland
Workin’ through a winter wonderland project? Join our workshop to learn the legal and ethical basics of text data mining. Librarian Kevin Gunn will cover copyright, fair use, and best practices—everything you need to stay on the right (snow) path. Online on Friday, December 5th at 12 p.m. Register through the Events page on the libraries’ website and don’t flurry!
Do You Hear What I Hear?
This season, set the right tone in every study space:
– Group Study: 1st & 2nd Floors – conversation and collaboration encouraged.
– Silent Study: 3rd Floor – a peaceful space for serious concentration.
Wherever you land, thank you for helping keep the library merry and mindful.
It’s the Most Studious Time of the Year
As you make your end-of-semester list, check our hours twice! We keep extended hours through finals, then shift into cozier intersession hours before a long winter’s nap into the new year. See the full schedule under Library Hours and scroll to Holidays and Special Hours so you don’t get caught out in the cold.
Hark! New Exhibits Sing
This season brings two new student-curated exhibits— stop by and enjoy what’s on display! In the May Gallery, discover The Light They Carried – Celebrating Luminaries of Catholic University History. And next to Circulation explore ‘Tis the Season for Reading and check out a festive read for the holidays!
