Message from the Dean of Libraries
Dear Web Site Visitor:
We welcome you to the Pepperdine University Libraries web site and hope that the information you seek is easy to find.
Our libraries together house more than 650,000 books, periodicals and journals that cover a broad array of subjects and academic disciplines. As a complement, we also offer access to more than 120 electronic databases many of which faculty and students may access directly. Our most valuable resource, however, is our librarians who are experts in navigating the information universe. They can help you locate relevant information on virtually any topic.
Pepperdine is a Christian University committed to the highest standards of academic excellence and Christian values where students are strengthened for lives of purpose service and leadership. It is our goal -- here in Malibu and at our campus libraries around Los Angeles and internationally, and through our web site -- to uphold this mission by providing our faculty, students, staff and community partners with the best possible access to knowledge. We are committed to achieving this by building strong collections and patron services that will promote teaching excellence, classroom and lifelong learning and outstanding scholarship.
We hope that you will enjoy your visit to our web site and that you will visit us again in the future.
Sincerely,
Mark S. Roosa
Dean of Libraries
