Writing Help in the Library on Thursday Evenings

Do you need help improving your writing? Not sure how to cite your sources? The Writing Center is a great campus resource for help with many kinds of writing issues.

The Center is located in Northwestern Hall, but on Thursday evenings you'll find it in the library.  Peter Susag, Associate Director of the Writing Center, will hold office hours in our group study room on Thursdays from 5-8 pm.  For more information on the services offered by the Writing Center, visit http://luthersem.libguides.com/writingcenter.  And to experience those services on a Thursday evening, visit the library!

ATLA Reciprocal Borrowing Program!

If you are a Luther student who is studying from a distance, we have some great news for you!  You are now eligible to use the libraries of quite a few other theological schools around the country, due to a new reciprocal borrowing agreement between members of the American Theological Library Association.  

Here's how it works: you present proof of your current enrollment to a participating library, and agree to abide by their borrowing policies.  They may contact us to make sure you are in good standing here before they issue you a card.

For a list of participating schools and libraries, check this page.

Luther Seminary Library also welcomes students from participating libraries to borrow here.  See our borrowing policies for details and contact Karen Alexander (651-641-3301, kalexander001@luthersem.edu) with questions.

Desk Back in Circulation

Our new circulation desk is back!  It's a blend of portions of our former desk with a completely new ADA accessible section where our reference function will now reside.  In addition, updated lighting and fresh paint currently round out our new look.  Yet to come are some artistic touches that we think you will like as well.  Stop in and check us out -- and a book or two while you're here.
