APU has a limited research library that contains books, video tapes and audio tapes relevant to our courses. APU s holdings are supplemented by access to a computer network through which we can locate library resources worldwide. Since APU is primarily an independent study program, students are required to have access to their local library. Students are encouraged to choose a local college or university library, if possible. The students will usually purchase these textbooks, although most are also available in public libraries.
Most courses have an optional reading list referencing other pertinent material.
To obtain the optional reading materials the student will generally have to go to their local library. Students who choose to study the optional course material report a significantly enhanced learning experience. All rights reserved. .
