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.

 

OPEN HOURS:

  

         MONDAY - FRIDAY                                                    SATURDAY

         STAFF ONSITE                                                          NO STAFF ONSITE

         8:00 am - 5:00 pm

               

                  Badge access required outside of the Staff Onsite hours

 

We are located on the 2nd Floor of the Lim Commons Building 

 

For any Library questions or assistance, please contact the library by e-mail as the primary method of communication. Due to the library’s limited hours and staffing, the library staff is more likely to be able to respond by e-mail at most any time in the order they are received; though delays may occur. Weekend responses to emails is highly unlikely. If more extensive assistance by phone or Teams video call is necessary, scheduling an appointment during the above-mentioned Library Staff hours will be required.

Booking a Library Study Room

The Sonoran University Library study rooms are available primarily for individual and group study, research, use of Library resources, and occasional tutoring.

To request a reservation, email library@sonoran.edu and include:

  • The specific date requested
  • Your start and end times
  • The names of all individuals who will be using the room

Study rooms are available on a limited, as-needed basis and cannot be reserved for recurring appointments throughout an entire academic term. When necessary, reservations may be arranged for up to two consecutive weeks.

Please Cancel If Your Plans Change

If you have reserved a study room and your plans change, please notify the Library as soon as possible to cancel the specific date and time reserved. Timely cancellations are important because they allow the room to become available for other students, faculty, and Library needs.

Testing Center Scheduling

Library study rooms are also used by the Sonoran University Testing Center for student testing. On occasion, an unexpected or priority testing need may require the Library to cancel or modify a previously scheduled study room reservation.

We understand the inconvenience this may cause and will make every effort to provide notice when such a situation occurs. We greatly appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we balance the study-room needs of our Library users with University testing requirements.

Please note: Library study rooms are intended for studying, research, use of Library resources, group work, and occasional tutoring. Please make other arrangements for attending regularly scheduled online classes.

To request, change, or cancel a study room reservation, please email library@sonoran.edu

 

📚 NEW! EASIER OFF-CAMPUS ACCESS TO LIBRARY RESOURCES

Accessing Sonoran University Library databases and online resources from off campus just got easier!

Beginning October 5, 2026, the Library moved to Sonoran University's Microsoft Single Sign-On (SSO) for off-campus access. This replaces the previous Library login method and lets you use the same Sonoran credentials you already use for Microsoft 365, Canvas, and MySonoran.

How Does It Work?

When accessing a Library resource from off campus:

  1. Start with the resource link on the Library's MySonoran pages.
  2. Enter your Sonoran University email address.
  3. Enter your Sonoran email account password.
  4. Complete your usual multi-factor authentication (MFA) request.
  5. You'll be connected to the Library resource.

Even better: If you're already signed into Microsoft 365, Canvas, or MySonoran in the same browser session, your authentication will carry over when you open a Library resource, meaning you may not need to sign in again.

On Campus? Nothing Changes!

The new login process is for off-campus access only. When you're on campus, continue accessing Library resources as usual.

The change provides a simpler, more familiar sign-in experience while also improving security for off-campus access to Sonoran's Library resources.
