Fuller is currently experiencing an issue with authenticating some users trying to access library electronic resources from a remote location using the new Fuller ID.
The IT team is working on resolving the issue as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, if you have changed your Fuller ID password but cannot log into the library system (library databases, eBooks), please e-mail us at [email protected]. We will respond within the hour and provide you with temporary credentials until access is restored.
Happy New Year! We hope that the winter quarter is off to a good start for you. The Information Access Services team is here to help with your library-related needs. For those who don’t know who the IAS Department is and what they do, we asked Information Access Service Manager, Nathan Yearian, to fill us in.
What is the Information Access Services department and where is it located?
IAS is the public-facing department responsible for interacting with patrons, maintaining the publicly accessible collections, and retrieving requested material from the closed stacks. We are located on the first floor of the David Allan Hubbard Library, just inside the main entrance. You may also find us in the stacks shelving books or walking around, straightening up. Feel free to ask us for help around the building if you are having trouble locating a book or need help navigating the library.

What services are offered by the IAS department?
At the IAS desk, we assist patrons with borrowing, renewing, and returning books. The IAS desk is also where you can check out Reserve books, request books from Storage or Special Collections, and get basic research help and (very) basic tech support. For in-depth research help, we refer users to our Reference Department.
The IAS team can teach you how to search the library catalog, help you book a group study room, and set up your library computer and printing account. We will do our best to answer any question you have, and if we can’t directly help, we can guide you to the right person or department.
Who is on the IAS staff?
The IAS staff consists of a combination of current Fuller students and alumni representing all three schools (SOT, SOP, and SIS), as well as degreed and career library professionals. Our diverse backgrounds and varied experiences make us a well-rounded team able to assist users with their myriad library needs.

How can users get help from an IAS staff member?
You may contact us in person at the IAS desk (our regular hours are Monday through Saturday, 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.), by e-mail ([email protected]), or by phone (626.584.5618).
What do you want people to know about the IAS Department that most people don’t know?
When asked why they work at the library, the single most common response from the IAS team members is, “I enjoy helping people.” We are here to assist you, so please feel free to stop by the desk, and good luck with your studies!
We are pleased to announce a month-long trial to PsycTESTS, a repository for thousands of American Psychological Association (APA) ready-to-use tests and measures. Access is available through February 28, 2015.
Your feedback is very important to us, as our collection development decisions are driven by feedback from faculty, students, and staff.
Updated monthly, PsycTESTS offers tools relevant to the fields of psychology, psychiatry, social work, education, business, medicine, and more. Most test instruments are available for immediate download for users to implement in their research and teaching. While the focus is on contemporary instances of test use, coverage spans more than a century. Users will gain access to detailed test records and multilingual test instruments. Types of tests include developmental measures, personality assessments, educational measures, resilience, anger response or substance abuse inventories, and much more.
Google and Wikipedia just won’t cut it when it comes to the research required for producing excellent written assignments. This Writing Center workshop, presented in collaboration with the David Allan Hubbard Library staff, will direct your path and send you in the way you should go on your search for all things theological. Learn to navigate the labyrinth of the library basements and to conquer online databases, and practice discerning the value of the materials you discover for your own projects.

EBSCO, one of our major eBook providers, is currently experiencing server issues causing the download functionality of all their eBook collections to fail.
While eBooks can still be accessible and read online, the process of downloading offline using Adobe Digital Editions breaks down.
EBSCO’s technical support team is working to resolve the situation asap, and we will provide regular updates. Thank you so much for your patience!

Numérique Premium eBooks are gathered in thematic collections and are readable on and off site.

Following our trial subscription to the Digital Loeb Classical Library in September, and the overwhelming response from faculty and students, Fuller Library has purchased the database.
The Digital Loeb Classical Library provides online access to the entire collection of the Loeb Classical Library. Digitized and maintained by Harvard University Press, the collection contains more than 520 volumes of Latin, Greek, and English texts in a modern and elegant interface, allowing readers to “browse, search, bookmark, annotate, and share content with ease” (loebclassics.com).
The library online catalog will be down on Saturday, January 3, 2015, from 3:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. for a scheduled upgrade. We apologize for the inconvenience.
This disruption in service will take place during the holiday break. For news on holiday closures, please see this post.
