and Encino. In addition to the print collection, the library system also provides
access to an extensive number of government documents, electronic databases,
online materials, and specialized print and nonprint materials.
The West Los Angeles library collection, largest of the graduate campus
libraries, includes the ERIC Microfiche Collection and completed Pepperdine
Ed.D. and Psy.D. dissertations. Payson Library, located on the Malibu campus,
is the largest physical library facility. It houses the Government Information
Center, the Special Collections Department, and the Young Adult Collection.
Payson Library is a U.S. government depository library. Students, faculty, staff,
and alumni may use the library facilities at all Pepperdine locations.
Library services, available to current students and faculty, support both
academic and research pursuits. Services include the Pepperdine Campus Loan
Service, which allows library books, journals, and videos to be transferred
between any two Pepperdine libraries; and the Interlibrary Loan Service,
which allows books, dissertations, and journal articles to be obtained from
other libraries around the world. In addition, Pepperdine librarians provide
in-class instruction, workshops, and individual consultation in informationseeking
skills and the use of library resources. Instruction may cover strategy
and selection of library resources from both print and electronic resources. The
Ask-a-Librarian service provides e-mail reference assistance. These services are
described on the Pepperdine Libraries’ Web site: http://library.pepperdine.edu.
Library resources are described and may be accessed through the Pepperdine
Libraries’ Web site or PepXpress at http://xpress.pepperdine.edu. Access to the
electronic databases and interlibrary loan requires authentication as a current
faculty member or student.
New Student Orientation
Orientation sessions are held at the beginning of each term for new students
and are designed to familiarize them with campus facilities, policies and
procedures, financial aid, and other school-related issues.
On-site Assistance
Since students enrolled at the Irvine, Encino, Westlake Village, and Malibu-
Drescher graduate campuses may not have easy access to the headquarters in
West Los Angeles, Pepperdine staff are available at each location to assist them
with registration, financial aid, and other special needs.
