Library News

A De La Salle Christian Brother for 72 years, Brother Louis Althaus spent 45 of those years serving as a professor of electrical engineering and an administrator at Christian Brothers College and University. Among his titles were Assistant Director of the Computer Center (he was also one of the founders of the Computer Center), Chair of the Electrical Engineering department, Vice President of Academic Affairs, and Special Assistant to the President. 

He was also a good friend to the library, as shown by his willingness to be featured in a promotional READ poster for Plough Library in 2007.

Hi everyone!

I am Mark Duncan, your new Instruction and Outreach Librarian at CBU, and I am excited to help you with your library needs. I also serve as the library liaison for the Gadomski School of Engineering. I received my MS in Library and Information Science from Syracuse University in 2021 and my BA in Political Science and Religious Studies from Grinnell College in 2019. I can help with any library instruction needs, whether it be preparing a research guide for your class, referring you to your subject librarian, doing individual research consultations, or conducting library instruction sessions for your classes. I will also be coordinating some of the outreach at the library, so look forward to some exciting events! In my free time, I enjoy listening to music, playing the piano, and reading. I am excited to help the CBU community get the library resources everyone needs to succeed in their endeavors at CBU!
