Ann Youngblood Mulhearn's Social Justice From Outside the Walls: Catholic Women in Memphis, 1950-1970 is a recent addition to Plough Library's collection. Given the time frame, it should come as no surprise that space is devoted to activist Allegra Turner, her husband and sons, Brother Terence McLaughlin, and the integration of CBHs.
You can find it in the LaSallian Collection, call number 282.768 M85 2024.
Welcome to a new school year! We are excited to see everyone back on campus and to meet new members of the CBU community. Visit the library to check out our books!
Here are some books we've added to the collection so far in 2024, sorted by subject:
New Titles in Literature and Rhetoric 2024
New Titles in Technology, Art, History, Biography, and Geography 2024
New Titles in Social Sciences, Language, Natural Sciences, and Math 2024
New Titles in General Works, Philosophy, Psychology, and Religion 2024
You can also check out our New and Popular Books shelves on the main floor at Plough Library, right across from the Library Service Desk.
Each year we encourage you to check the links for any library resources included in your courseware. This year, however, we have an entirely new proxy prefix, so all your URLs need to be updated.
Our new prefix is:
https://christianbros.idm.oclc.org/login?url=
For databases, you can grab the correct links from the Library’s A-Z list. For links within databases, on the other hand, you will need to make new permalinks. Some databases, e.g., Films on Demand, Academic Video Online, and SciTech Premium, already include our prefix in their permalinks, so you can just copy and paste them. Others, like the EBSCO databases, do not. For these permalinks, all you need to do is add our prefix yourself! Here are some examples:
If you need help, come by the library and we’ll be glad to show you what to do. You can also send us your old URLs, and we’ll send replacements.

Did you know Plough Library has two group study rooms in the northwest corner of the main floor?
These rooms are designated to support CBU students in their academic work. If not reserved, students may use a group study room but must share it with others who also wish to study.
Each room comes equipped with:
CBU students may request a group study room reservation from library staff for groups of 4 or more people for 2 hours maximum per day.
The library hopes to have an interactive online reservation system up and running by fall 2024. For now, reservation requests may be made at the Library Service Desk, by chat (available through the library homepage), by phone at (901) 321-3432, or by email at library@cbu.edu.
Please Note: We ask that you not bring any food into the group study rooms. Thank you!
If you have references in RefWorks that you wish to save, you will need to transfer your sources out of RefWorks by June 30, 2024. It is easy to export collections into any other citation manager. Free citation managers include Zotero and Mendeley. Zotero is the citation manager that Plough Library will use going forward.
Using Zotero: This page from Plough Library's Citing Sources guide has more details on how Zotero works.
If you have questions about transferring sources out of RefWorks into another citation manager, please contact Kay Cunningham, Library Director, at kay.cunningham@cbu.edu.
