Graduate Research Library

During the physical closure of the Pacifica Graduate Institute campuses, the Library staff are doing everything necessary to make sure that Library resources and services remain available. We are now prepared and ready to support the increasing numbers of students and faculty working from remote locations. The Library is closed for “drop-in” visits, but students can still place needed items on hold from within the library catalog. Items placed on hold can be mailed out. Please be aware that there may be delays in shipping items at this time due to current issues with the postal service.

Reference librarians remain available for consultations and tutorials to assist with your research needs:

Reference services: reference@pacifica.edu, (805) 969-3626 x 144.
Mark and Richard can also offer Zoom information literacy sessions (by request).
Circulation services: circulation@pacifica.edu, (805) 969-3626 x115
Circulation staff are available to answer questions about needed library materials:
Scan requests: Individual chapters of printed books and print journal articles can be sent as pdfs.
Interlibrary loan services: ill@pacifica.edu, (805) 969-3626 x115
