A computer lab for student use is located within the Library. The Library is open 84.5 hours per week when classes are in session. The Library offers reference service most of the hours it is open. On-line searches of other specialized databases are available for a fee. The Library is a member of OCLC, the On-Line Computer Library Center.
Interlibrary loan is available to both faculty and students.
The cards are available to faculty, staff, and students with the presentation of a valid university ID or registration receipt. Books are checked out for 28-day periods and may be renewed if not in demand by others. The Circulation Department page contains detailed policies for all UAA and APU library patrons, information on our new Reciprocal Borrower and Paid Card Programs , and notification of the discontinuation of the Guest Card Program. The Library is built on what was formerly BLM land that was first offered to the University of Alaska. The land was ultimately transferred to UAA by APU for the Library.
