Some databases may be accessed using the university computing account for students, faculty, and staff. Other databases may only be available on campus or in the library facilities. The APU Libraries maintains a comprehensive list of all databases available to APU faculty. If needed materials are not held by the University Libraries, the Library will try to borrow or photocopy the material from another library through Interlibrary Loan and Document Delivery. Requested items may be available in as few as three days or as many as 21.
Every effort is made to ensure the shortest possible receipt time.
Faculty and students may also request books at another library by using the Interlibrary Loan system that is part of OCLC's FirstSearch. FirstSearch is available through the library Online Page. Reference services are available at the main APU Libraries during most open hours. To request reference help outside regular hours, send an email query to Sharrell Harrell , librarian. For more pressing needs, please call the respective library, library liaison, or service desk within the library.
