HPU Digital is Hawaii Pacific University’s institutional repository. It advances knowledge, showcases achievements, and preserves the intellectual and creative contributions of the HPU community. It provides long-term, open access to HPU records and publications while globally disseminating scholarly and creative works by faculty, students, and affiliates. By offering open access, it enhances scholarship, innovation, and global collaboration.
If the HPU Libraries do not have an article or book that you need, it may be possible to request it from another library. Simply fill out the appropriate form. The Journal Article Request form for articles or book chapters, and the Book Request form for print books. Book requests are only available for pick up at the HPU Libraries, so if you are not able to pick it up from Waterfront or Atherton Library, we recommend requesting a book chapter rather than the entire book.
The HPU Libraries follow all copyright laws and use the Commission on New Technological Uses of Copyrighted Works [CONTU] published guidelines to source all print and electronic materials, we will first attempt to secure these materials from resource sharing partners at no cost to the patron.
Hawai'i Pacific University now offers eligible graduate students free 24/7 access to urgent medical care and on-demand counseling through our partnership with AcademicLiveCare (ALC).
