Most of the Nursing and Health Sciences books are located in the Atherton Library. It is best to search for books using HPU Discovery first then go and find those books in the stacks. Once you find a book in the stacks look around that area, you might find additional books as they are arranged by subject.

Looking for a book but is not in our collection?  You can search the collections of other local libraries that are open to the public.

Our HPU Discovery tool allows you to find books, articles, videos and more in one single search. To only retrieve books, filter your search by using the format limiter on the left side of your search results.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are off-campus, you may be prompted to log in to your MyHPU.edu account before accessing our online resources.

Can't find the book you need in our system? You can request books from other mainland institutions using our Interlibrary Loan service. Below is the form for book requests.

HPU faculty, staff, and students may borrow circulating materials from the University Libraries upon presentation of a valid HPU ID card (UniCard). All patrons are subject to the Circulating Materials Policy of the HPU Libraries and are responsible for the materials borrowed.

Once you find  print books from our HPU Discovery tool, you should take note of the location, the call number, and the availability in order to find them in the HPU Libraries.  

Remember there are two libraries collections:  Atherton at Hawaii Loa Campus and Waterfront Library at our Downtown location.  With your call number in hand go to the appropriate library and location to find your books.

Read the call number from left to right by sections- find the letters first then the whole number next to it, follow by the letter and number combination, and the year at the end. 

Books are arranged by subject using the Library of Congress classification system. This means that when you find a book you may find other relevant books next to it. If you cannot find a book, Ask A Librarian!
