The Felician University Library is a center for discovery, inspiration, instruction, reflection, and collaboration. Through an ethic of outstanding service, it ensures access to a set of global resources, with the overarching purpose of helping students, both on and off campus, conduct research, explore an increasingly complex architecture of information, achieve academic success, and acquire skills for life-long learning. In aspiring to this mission, the libraries seek to:
- Provide an inviting, user-oriented learning environment for on-site users and the technical infrastructure, resources, and services for online learning communities;
- Initiate, enhance, and improve new and traditional user services;
- Offer an instructional program to provide students with information-seeking skills to assist them in their pursuit of successful careers, productive citizenship, and life-long learning;
- Support the instructional, curricular, and research needs of the University through an effective and collaborative collection development and management program.
The Felician University Library is located on the Lodi campus and provides the information sources and services to Felician’s undergraduate students, graduate students, faculty and staff.
The Library offers group study spaces, quiet study spaces, computers and printers, as well as print collections for each of the Schools (Arts & Science, Business and Information Sciences, Education, and Nursing and Health Sciences). Designated librarians serve as subject-specific liaisons to each of the Schools.
The libraries' combined information sources include over 51,000 print and 243,000 electronic books and over 20,000 electronic periodicals. Electronic resources can be accessed through the Felician University Library's website (https://felician.libguides.com/libraries) on-campus and off-campus, by entering the Felician University network ID and password. Material not owned by the Felician University Library may be borrowed from another library at no charge through the Interlibrary Loan Service. Please note, interlibrary loans for print materials can take up to two weeks to receive, and the lending of electronic articles from journals may be prohibited by publisher embargoes. Speak with your liaison librarian for more information on embargoed materials.
Information services include information literacy instruction delivered through classes and workshops on the Lodi and Rutherford Campuses; reference and one-on-one research assistance is provided in-person, by phone, via email, through "Zoom" or "Teams" and via chat. Research appointments are encouraged and can be made through the Felician University Library's website (https://felician.libguides.com/libraries).
For hours of operation, check the Felician University Library's website, or call (201)559-6071.
Current Felician students may register their university ID cards with the libraries and borrow materials from the collection. Borrowers are responsible for all materials lent on their cards and will not receive grades or graduate if their accounts have unpaid charges for overdue or lost items.
Food and cell phone conversations are not allowed in library spaces; beverages are permitted in covered containers. Campus security will be notified of any suspected theft of library material. All bags are subject to search.
