Students! Faculty! Staff! Alumni!
Welcome to the Omar Seddiqui Research Library at Palo Alto University!
Our offices are located in the Student Services Hub at the Allen Calvin Campus on the first floor of Building 3.
HOURS: When campus is open, space is available in the lobby areas from 8 am - 9 pm on weekdays only. You can also reserve a space on campus using PAU's online room reservation system.
Your PAU Research Librarians are available in person on weekdays, by appointment, to help you with:
- finding the information you need
- accessing our physical collection of circulating materials
- using our online resources
We invite you to email librarian@paloaltou.edu to make an appointment for on-campus assistance or to consult with a librarian online via Zoom or email. Please note that library materials may be returned at any time using the book return bin located outside the main entrance to the first floor of Building 3 — no appointment needed!
ONLINE ACCESS: Online library resources and services are available — 24/7/365 — to current students, faculty, and staff. Use our library guides for help documentation.
