Welcome to the Omar Seddiqui Research Library at Palo Alto University!
December 2024:
The PAU librarians will be unavailable beginning at 5:00 pm on Wednesday, December 19, and continuing until the end of Winter Break. We wish you a peaceful and restful holiday season, and we invite you to reach out by emailing us at librarian@paloaltou.edu or by visiting in person when Winter Quarter begins on Monday, January 6.
October 2024:
The PAU Library is now operating within 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 on weekdays only.
Your PAU Research Librarians are available in person on weekdays, by appointment, to address your information needs, provide you with access to our physical collection of books and DVDs, and assist you with 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 books and DVDs may be returned at any time using the book return bin located outside the main entrance to the first floor of Building 3. To return any other items, please email librarian@paloaltou.edu to make an appointment.
As always, online library resources are available — 24/7/365 — to current students, faculty, and staff.
Use the search boxes at the top of this page to search our online databases and our online catalog, and scroll down for shortcuts to key resources provided by the PAU Library. Use the side navigation to learn more about the library and what it has to offer by way of resources and services.
Please be aware that the PAU test kit collection is no longer housed in the library. If you have any test kits that you checked out from the library and need to return, or if you have any questions about accessing PAU test kits, please email librarian@paloaltou.edu.
Online tests and measures databases remain available for your use. See the library's Tests and Measures webpage to research and locate assessment materials.
