Finding Books in the APU Libraries
Locate books on your topic by searching the APU library catalog:
Undergrad and graduate students can borrow up to 100 books at a time, with an initial check-out period of 28 days and 4 renewals. Doctoral students, staff, and faculty members can borrow up to 500 books at a time, with an initial check-out period of 90 days and 2 renewals.
You can place items on hold by clicking the "Request" link and selecting a pickup location. We'll send you an email when your items are ready to be picked up (usually the next day). Regional Center students may request free mailing of books by choosing "By Mail" as the pickup location. Mailing is free; items will be sent to your home address with a pre-paid mailing envelope included.
You can check your library account and renew your library books online through the APU library catalog.
Search Tip!
When you find a book that you like, look at the subject headings that are given for it. You can click on those subject headings to find other books on the same subject:

Borrowing Books through LINK+
The LINK+ catalog allows you to locate and request books (free of charge!) from any of the 52 LINK+ Libraries:
Just click the "Request This Item" link whenever you find a book you want to borrow. The book will be available for pickup within a few business days (the APU Libraries will automatically mail LINK+ books to Regional Center students at their home addresses; this will add a few extra days of processing time).
You can borrow up to 15 LINK+ books at a time, with an initial check-out period of 3 weeks and one 2-week renewal. You can renew LINK+ books through your library account.
Can't Find it in LINK+? Try WorldCat
WorldCat allows you to search the collections of more than 10,000 libraries around the world. To request items, look up the publication information in WorldCat, then fill out the Interlibrary Loan Request form on the APU Libraries web site. Requested items will be mailed to Regional Campus students' home addresses; they will be held for pick-up by Azusa campus students.
Note: There is a $2 per item charge for Interlibrary Loan requests, so please check APU's holdings and LINK+ before using this option.
Another Option: Ebooks
The APU Libraries own a number of Ebooks, which are books that you can read online. Ebooks are available any time, and can save you time and money since you don't have to drive to the library to check out books. You can access Ebooks through two APU library databases, Ebrary and NetLibrary.
- Ebrary
Collection of full-text Ebooks and sheet music. Note: best viewed with Internet Explorer. - NetLibrary
