Library
Welcome to the Omar Seddiqui Research Library at Palo Alto University!
September 2024:
The PAU Library has reopened for Fall Quarter, 2024, as part of the new student services hub at the Allen Calvin Campus on the first floor of Building 3. When campus is open, space is available outside the staff offices from 8 am until 9 pm daily.
Your PAU Research Librarians are available to assist you in person with your information needs and provide you with access to our physical collection of books and DVDs on weekdays, by appointment.
Online library resources are available 24/7/365.
Use the search boxes at the top of this page to search our online databases and our online catalog, and scroll down to see more resources provided by the PAU Library.
As always, we invite you to email librarian@paloaltou.edu to consult with a librarian online via Zoom or email, or to make an appointment for on-campus assistance.
The PAU Library no longer distributes, purchases, collects, or handles physical test kits, as these have been turned over to the Psychology Department.
If you have test kits that you checked out from the library and need to return, you can return them to one of the librarians in the library and we will forward them to the Psychology Department. Please email librarian@paloaltou.edu to make an appointment, so we don't miss you!
Online tests and measures databases are available. See the Tests and Measures library webpage at https://www.paloaltou.edu/library/library-resources/tests-measures to research and locate assessment materials.
