Hours, Access, & Logins

ANNOUCEMENT: Starting July 1st, 2025, some library services will be unavailable as we migrate to a new library platform. 

The library catalog, database and newspaper access, and ebooks will be down during this time. Unaffected services are interlibrary loan, in-person checkouts, research help, and IT help. We look forward to welcoming you to our new system in mid-August.

Hours of Operation

24/7 Online Access

Library databases, e-journal subscriptions and our online catalog are accessible 24/7 from any computer or device with an Internet connection and web browser. Just use your SEU username and password when prompted to log in to Mahoney Online Subscriptions, and you're good to go!

Library Accounts

New Account

All students, faculty, and staff that want to check out books or use our online resources must register for a library account in person at the library circulation desk. All you need to bring is your SEU ID. Once library staff create your account, you will get an email with a link to set your password (this can be the same password you use to get into your email).

Managing your Account

Once your account is set up and you've set your password, you can log into your library account in our catalog by clicking "Sign In" in the top right corner. Here, you can see which books you have checked out, renew books, and view your saved searches.

Troubleshooting

If you are having problems connecting to one database, test your access to one or more other databases. If you can get into the other database, then the problem is most likely with the database site itself. Don't hesitate to contact us at mahoneylibrary@steu.edu so we can troubleshoot and fix it!

If you have successfully connected to a database, but experience difficulties while using that database, here are a few tips:

• Try a different browser
• If you are unable to access the full text within a particular database interface, click the 'Search for Full Text' link
• Go to the Online & Print Journals List to look up the journal that you need and check the dates Mahoney Library has access to
  • If Mahoney Library does not have access to the article you would like, please fill out an Interlibrary Loan request and we will do our best to get it for you

If you experience internet connectivity problems on campus, please contact our Help Desk at https://www.steu.edu/it/helpdesk/index.html.
