Library Services

Falvey Library is committed to providing the Villanova community with personal information services, both on site and online.

Among the services provided are:

• circulation of print and non-print materials, including but not limited to Dell and Mac laptops and power cords
• DVDs
• group study rooms
• calculators
• We also offer online circulation of electronic books, and online access to thousands of journals and databases.
• Patrons may check out some freely circulating materials at the self check unit on the first floor.


• For patrons who need materials not held in the Falvey collection, we offer E-ZBorrow and Interlibrary Loan services that facilitate the borrowing of books and journal articles from other libraries.


• In addition, we make it possible for professors to place print and electronic materials on Course Reserve for the use of students in their classes.
• Students who require thesis binding may contact the library for assistance with this service.


• Librarians and library specialists are available for personal research appointments, as well as to schedule classroom instruction in information literacy.

• The library provides delivery service for students currently registered only in Distance Learning courses, for faculty with remote appointments, and for graduate students (including doctoral, post-doctoral, and EMBA) who are completing coursework from remote locations. We will provide delivery of Main Stacks materials as requested by these patrons who reside over 25 miles from Villanova. For more information please see: Distance Learning Delivery Request Form.
