You Can Make a Difference

Pepperdine Libraries are at the heart of the student experience—providing access and guidance to the knowledge and resources they need as they conduct research, collaborate on projects, and creatively express themselves. Our librarians are expert knowledge navigators and connect students to the many streams of information available through the twenty-first century library.
