Holy Spirit Library provides state-of-the-art information resources, services, and technologies enhancing the academic experience of Cabrini's students.
The Library houses over 240,000 physical items, including books, periodicals, and multimedia that supports the College's academic programs. Cavalog, our online catalog named for the College's mascot the Cavalier, provides access to materials housed in the Library. Subscriptions to over fifty electronic resources accessible through the Library's webpage provide students with twenty-four hour access to online encyclopedias and dictionaries, electronic books, and full-text periodicals for their research needs.
Over forty desktop computers, dedicated e-mail and Cavalog computers, and thirty laptops are available in the Library and the Information Literacy Lab, located on the lower level of the building. All computers provide Internet access, word processing, and other software applications for student use.
Individual and group study space can be found throughout the Library, with a large student lounge located on the lower level. Also housed in the building are the Cabrini College Archives and the Cabriniana Collection, which contains writings and ephemera of Saint Frances Cabrini. The Grace and Joseph Gorevin Fine Arts Gallery, where students, faculty, and professional artists display their work throughout the year, is located on the second floor.
Holy Spirit Library's membership in the SouthEastern Pennsylvania Consortium for Higher Education (SEPCHE) and the Tri-State College Library Cooperative (TCLC) enable students to use resources from more than forty member libraries in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware. Students, faculty, and staff enjoy equal access including borrowing privileges at all SEPCHE institutions: Arcadia University, Chestnut Hill College, Gwynedd-Mercy College, Holy Family University, Immaculata University, Neumann College, and Rosemont College. Cabrini students are also free to use the libraries at neighboring Eastern University and Valley Forge Military Academy and College.
