The Library is open to students with a valid UA or APU ID. If you don’t have a UAA ID, we can help you get one, for more information see the Library Services Update page. Also, check this guide for the most current building hours and online research assistance hours. Both are on the Library Services Update page.
We have laptops along with earbuds available for use within the building for attending classes, and we have laptops that can be checked out to take home. These are available at the Main Circulation Desk. The Library can provide Document Delivery services for some materials, and students can check-out books from the Library. Course Reserves are available at the Main Circulation Desk. These are textbooks or course materials placed in the Library by a professor for use by students in support of their coursework.
For research help from a Librarian, use the Library’s Ask Us service on the library website. The Consortium Library is providing online Information and Research Services. All the virtual ways to contact us still exist, but we do not have librarians at the first floor Research Help Desk. On the Library’s website is an Ask Us link which provides access to librarians via chat, email, phone, texting, and online appointments.
Please contact Archives and Special Collections directly if you have need of their collections or research services.
The Library has a page within University of Alaska’s Blackboard to make library access easier. There is also a Library link within your course in Blackboard and there are resources on this Guides page on our website. These pages are designed to provide more direct access to relevant Library resources. For many more resources use QuickSearch on our main page or the databases, including our ebook collections. The Library is available on the the APU website as well.
If you need any assistance finding information or research, please don’t hesitate to contact the Virtual Research Help Desk. Or you may contact the subject librarian for your program for research help. They can meet with you via online means such as Zoom, Google Hangouts, etc. Use this link to make an appointment .
