Library Policies

The PAU Library is committed to serving it's community of students, faculty, staff, and alumni and engaging in reciprocal resource sharing with affiliated libraries and their users to the extent possible through interlibrary loan (ILL) operations and consortial agreements. The PAU Library does not offer services to the general public, who are advised to seek assistance with their information needs though their local public library systems and/or other libraries with which they are affiliated.

The PAU Library has developed a set of policies to govern its operations, resources, and services to facilitate successful user experiences in the information realm. These policies are designed to address diverse needs and accommodate the rull range of roles and responsibilities within our community while meeting the institutional, legal, and ethical obligations of an academic library.

The PAU Library's policies are incorporated in the descriptions of the library resources and library services that are included on this website. For more information and assistance, please email librarian@paloaltou.edu.
