Books and eBooks

CAValog is our online catalog of print and electronic books.  Remember that you will be prompted to log in when accessing the full content of ebooks. If you have forgotten your password, call ITR at 610-902-8366.

For print books, CDs, or DVDs:

Make sure that the location for the materials you want to pick up are one of the following:

  • STACKS
  • JUVENILE
  • NEWBERRY
  • CALDECOTT
  • MUSIC
  • MEDIA

Please call the library (610-902-8538) if you're unsure of the availability of material you need.

You can find e-books outside of CAValog in two ways:

  • Visit Holy Spirit Library's E-Books page for databases and websites that host e-books
  • Use HSL OneSearch to search ALL our databases for material on your topic, then use the search limiters on the left of the results page to limit the search to e-books.

Finding Journals

To locate a specific journal such as Research in Education use the library's Journals list. If you need to find journal articles about a particular topic, use the databases instead.

  • From the library's homepage select the Journals list. 
  • In the "Searching: Library Publications" box enter the title of the journal and select Search. 
  • The result list will provide information on locating the journal either in print* or electronic format. 
  • Select the link for the preferred format and follow the links to locate the journal, issue, and article.

*Please note print journals can be obtained by visiting the library during regular hours.

Using Other Libraries

As a Cabrini College student, you are able to borrow print materials from other libraries with which we are affiliated. Memberships in the South Eastern Pennsylvania Consortium for Higher Education (SEPCHE) and the Tri-State College Library Cooperative (TCLC) enable students to use resources from 40+ libraries in the tri-state area. 

Students enjoy borrowing privileges at all SEPCHE institutions simply by showing their Cabrini ID or proof of registration. Cabrini students are also free to use the libraries at neighboring Eastern University and Valley Forge Military Academy and College. 

Students may borrow materials from TCLC institutions with a Letter of Introduction. A Letter of Introduction can be obtained by emailing: library@cabrini.edu
