Ryan Library is a teaching library - our goal is to provide the PLNU community with the resources and skills needed for successful research. Our print and electronic collections support the curriculum taught in Point Loma’s classrooms and are expanded primarily through ongoing liaison efforts between the library faculty and faculty in other departments throughout the university.
We endeavor to provide the means and instruction for accessing the countless resources available locally and within the larger information universe. Taught by library faculty, research instruction sessions can introduce students to the library’s resources or provide in-depth instruction for research within a given discipline. Research databases, consortial borrowing, and Interlibrary Loan programs allow students and faculty to reach beyond the walls of the library as they pursue their studies.
From our faculty and staff to our student employees, Ryan Library is committed to meeting the research needs of the PLNU academic community.
