June 19, 1865 it is the day that enslaved African Americans learned of their freedom in West Texas, and it is the oldest African American celebration. One way to observe Juneteenth is to read about the Emancipation Proclamation that helped in the freedom of slaves in the United States.

There are a number of Juneteenth materials that can be found in the UAA Consortium Library QuickSearch.

What if I told you that your Consortium Library has online exhibits? You could check out so many places and never leave your seat! Some of those places include various locations in the state of Alaska. These online exhibits include topics on restaurants, historical locations, and different works of art.

Having a great place to study is essential! The Consortium Library has various locations where you can get some studying done. Some of those areas include private study rooms while others are great if you are studying in a group. There are also open areas in different levels of the library to take in the view that Alaska has to offer all while getting a higher education.

An InterLibrary Loan is yet another service that is offered at the Consortium Library. It is a free service that lets you borrow materials from libraries around the world. You are able to place a hold using your UAA/APU email and password. The material(s) is then sent from the other library to the Consortium library where it will be available for you to pickup.

Depending on the type of item requested will determine the length of time that it will take to get to the library.

SLED is another resource in the Consortium Library that is able to house various databases. It is the Statewide Library Electronic Doorway. You are able to have live homework help and learn how to speak a new language to name a few of the great things that SLED has to offer.
