Library Resources

The University Law, Valente, and Walsh Libraries and the Monsignor James C. Turro Seminary Library, the research library for Seton Hall University’s Immaculate Conception Seminary / School of Theology, in conjunction with the Monsignor William Noe’ Field Archives & Special Collections Center, provide notable resources to our Catholic Studies students and faculty. This includes extensive holdings of almost 750,000 book volumes, 1,127 current periodical subscriptions, back-files of more than 6,500 serial titles, electronic access to full text articles in more than 25,000 journals, a broad selection of indexing and abstracting services in both digital and print formats, various microform collections, music CDs, audiovisual aids and detailed primary source archival materials.

The Walsh Library was recently the recipient of the International Society for Science and Religion (ISSR) Library Project grant. The ISSR Library is a foundational collection of 225 books that delineate the main, thematic contours of inquiry in science and religion. They included the topics of world religions, environmental ethics, ecology, anthropology, medicine, biology, psychology and neuroscience. Faculty and students also have access to extensive book collections on the Orthodox and Byzantine-Catholic or Greek-Catholic Scriptural and Liturgical texts. The Valente Library, the second largest library collection of Italian books in New Jersey, constitutes more than 20,000 volumes devoted to Italian history and culture.
