Message from the Dean

Pepperdine Libraries provide a global gateway to knowledge, serving the diverse and changing needs of our learning community through personalized service at our campus locations and rich computer-based resources. At the academic heart of our educational environment, our libraries are sanctuaries for study, learning, and research, encouraging discovery, contemplation, social discourse, and creative expression.

As the information universe continues to evolve, our goal is to remain responsive to users’ needs by providing seamless access to both print and digital resources essential for learning, teaching, and research. In pursuit of this goal, we strive to make a positive impact on the lives of our students and faculty so they are equipped to change the world.

The end of the 2019–2020 academic year was one none of us could have ever imagined. Nevertheless, University students, faculty, and staff confronted these challenging times with tenacity and grace. Guided by the University’s Christian mission, the Pepperdine Libraries were honored to serve our learning community by facilitating exploration, discovery, and creativity. It is our pleasure to share with you some highlights from this past academic year.

Sincerely,

Mark S. Roosa, PhD Dean of Libraries Pepperdine University
