The top banner reads “Introducing the New DCU Library Discovery Portal” above the DCU logo and navigation links for Research Assistant, New Search, Journal Finder, and A‑Z Databases. Below is a search bar with options for “Everything,” “Enter keywords,” “Natural Language Search,” and “Advanced Search.” The middle section displays six buttons labeled LETS Library E‑Tutorial, Subject Guides, Citing & Referencing, Libkey Discovery Suite, Borrowing Information, and Opening Hours. At the bottom is a field to enter a DOI or PMID with a yellow “Find Journal Article” button. The background shows shelves of books in warm lighting.

This engraving is of the figures of Peace and Justice enthroned and embracing and it comes from the 1686 title "Palæstra Aulico-Juridica, de Juribus Principium" by Anton Wilhelm Ertl-a guide to the powers & duties of royalty Thanks to our colleagues at SC&A for this queer coded celebration of pride!

Engraving image is of two women (symbolizing peace and justice) embracing on a shared throne, surrounded by two angels, six cheeky lions, and two cherubs. The cherubs hold a plaque with the words: palestra avesco juridica. Woodcut pring is of two women embracing. One holds a scales, while the other holds a branch, One foot of each woman is visible. Their heads are surrounded by haloic crownsThe book from which the engravings were taken. Vellum bound with visible shelf mark, it sits upon an archival pillow

To mark #Bloomsday, Alana Mahon O'Neill writes about the Ulysses Book Club in DCU. Over a year two local Joyce enthusiasts led a group of DCU staff and community members through the influential novel where they discovered its vulgarity, silliness and intricacies www.libfocus.com
