Theological Libraries Month

In October, Western-Arcade Library will celebrate Theological Libraries Month.

It’s a common belief that, any day now, the Internet will replace the library. Well, it’s not happening here at Western Seminary, nor is it happening anywhere else. That’s why the American Theological Library Association (ATLA) launched this special month to highlight the vital role libraries play in your education.

Western-Arcade Library is becoming increasingly pivotal as a crucial information broker. Whether on-site in the library building or remotely, via email or instant messaging, we’re here to save you—faculty, students, staff, administrators and even alumni--frustration and time. We provide expert guidance you can’t find anywhere else on how to navigate the newly available sources which are multiplying exponentially every year.

Far from being obsolete, theological libraries are at your service, offering you more than you ever imagined.

As part of Theological Libraries Month, Western-Arcade Library will be hosting several useful workshops including APA style for beginners and digital research using the Western research databases. Check your campus mailbox for further details.

Welcome

Welcome back students and instructors! Fall is an exciting time for everyone. Your librarians and staff at Western-Arcade Library are ready to assist you with your research and information needs. During the fall semester, the library is open Monday through Friday, 9am-5pm. The library is also open nights and weekends as posted on the library doors, seminary classrooms, and online. For those of you who need to return books after hours, drop slots (173-177) are located near the student mailboxes. CLL and hybrid students, as well as all on campus Western Seminary Sacramento students, faculty, and staff will continue to have 24/7 access to the library’s expanding collection of electronic resources including thousands of peer reviewed academic journal articles and full-text electronic books.

For more information about Western-Arcade Library, the services we offer, and print and electronic resources available to you, please call or visit the library, or feel free to contact us anytime.
