Library

Welcome

 

The Sonoran University Library has a lot of essential resources and services that are important to the students, faculty and physicians on or off campus. These include very unique physical materials, and even unique online resources only accessible in the Library. As part of the Library’s effort to continue to provide access to these essential library resources and services, while also helping to keep the Sonoran University Community safe and healthy, it has implemented some guidelines and procedures for visiting the Library and obtaining resources.

For any Library questions or assistance, please contact the library by e-mail as the primary method of communication.

If extensive assistance by phone is necessary, scheduling an appointment during the above-mentioned Library hours will be required.
