As a member of our campus community, the MDL is available to all faculty and staff through our campus subscription. Magna Digital Library has also been integrated with Canvas and may be accessed through the Canvas Dashboard. 

The Magna Digital Library is available to the entire Seton Hill community. The Seton Hill subscription requires each user to create an account using their complete SHU email address and a password of their design--registration only has to be completed once. Thereafter, each subscriber has instant access to the subscription by logging into SHU's unique URL with their email address and password set up during registration; the link is available through MYSHU tools. Once their account is created, and they have registered, faculty and staff will have unlimited access from any computer, whether it is on- or off-campus. Magna Digital Library has also been integrated with Canvas as an External Tool for use within the LMS.
