UAA/APU Consortium Library, Research library in Anchorage, United States
Description
The UAA/APU Consortium Library is a shared facility serving students from two universities with a large collection of books and research materials. The building includes study areas, research workstations, and specialized departments organized by subject.
History
The library opened in 1973 as a joint project between two institutions after legislation approved construction of a shared facility. It was built to meet growing academic research needs in the region.
Culture
The special collections focus on materials about Alaskan and Pacific Northwest history. Visitors can examine manuscripts and records about local movements and regional events when browsing these sections.
Practical
