Events & Outreach
Falvey Memorial Library works in conjunction with other University groups works to provide programming and other initiatives in support of the Villanova University mission. The Library's events and outreach team is instrumental in several major areas:
Academic Integrity Gateway
A Web Site for students created by the Library with the Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs, the Academic Integrity Gateway provides a virtual resource center to heighten awareness of issues such as documenting sources and University expectations for honesty.
For questions or comment about the Academic Integrity Gateway, please contact Darren G. Poley, Ext. 9-6371.
Community BibliographyA multi-year project unveiled March 1, 2008, the Community Bibliography is a database on the World Wide Web that documents and records any residual artifact published by any member of the Villanova University community since its inception in 1842. The Library encourages alumni and staff as well as students and faculty to have their published intellectual work represented in a truly comprehensive institutional bibliography. To contact us about the Community Bibliography please send an e-mail to communitybibliography@villanova.edu.
For assistance with the Community Bibliography, or questions concerning submissions, please contact Stephen Spatz, Ext. 9-7508.
Displays
Educational and cultural displays are mounted in the dedicated window display space on the first floor of Falvey Memorial Library, and occasionally in other areas of the Library. Displays are often timed to correspond with events on campus or in the Library. Campus groups are invited to apply to mount a display in the Library.
Please apply using the online form to request the Library host your display. For assistance with displays, or questions about displays in the Library, please contact Joanne Quinn, Ext. 9-4274.
