Information for Undergraduates

Welcome to McKillop Library!
You told your parents that you'd spend some time at the library --- we're here to help you make the most of that time.

Always remember to bring your Salve card for...

checking out books/videos/audio media or reserve materials,
printing, scanning or making copies.

The library is part of a consortium: HELIN (pronounced as "Helen").
The McKillop Library is a member of the Higher Education Library Information Network (HELIN). In addition to Salve Regina University, many other academic libraries in Rhode Island belong to this consortium: Providence College, Rhode Island College, Roger Williams University, Community College of Rhode Island, Johnson & Wales University and Wheaton College. HELIN libraries share an automated library system that includes an online catalog.

What does HELIN mean to you? Access to more resources! You may use any of these libraries onsite for your research and/or borrow their materials in person or online using your Salve card. You can request to have books delivered to McKillop Library with just a few clicks. In most cases you will receive requested items within 2-3 business days (excluding weekends). You will receive an email in your Salve account when items are ready for pickup.

All workshops are available by appointment for individuals or groups.
Please email salvelibrarian@salve.edu to schedule.
