Library Orientation for New SJU Students

Welcome!

Welcome to Saint Joseph's University, and welcome to the SJU Libraries.  We are located both online and in our three campus sites. On Hawk Hill, Drexel Library and Post Learning Commons are two buildings connected by an atrium and the combined entity is called the Post Academic Center.  The J. W. England Library is located on SJU's University City campus. Greenfield Library is located in the Cooper building on the Lancaster campus. The tips in this guide will help you make the most of the libraries during your first semester on campus.
