Upddate - Digital Collections Access

Since the hack of the University’s systems and subsequent shutdown of our local servers in November of 2018, library staff have been working to restore access to our digital collections (yearbooks, StFX publications, theses, etc.) as quickly as possible.  We would like to advise the campus community and patrons that the migration of these collections to a more secure and stable host continues.

Please be advised that Google Scholar is not working for off-campus users when accessed via the the Angus L.
