UAA/APU Consortium Library
The UAA/APU Consortium Library is a joint library serving the University of Alaska Anchorage and Alaska Pacific University, established in 1973 and refurbished in 2004.[1] According to self-reported statistics from 2016, the library has approximately 728,000 volumes on site and averages 12,000 visitors per week during the academic year.[2] The library has the furthest north permanent Foucault pendulum in North America.[3]
The library houses special collections, such as the Alaska Resources Library and Information Services (commonly known as ARLIS[4]) and a large archive dedicated to preserving Alaskan history and the history of the Pacific Northwest.[5] The archives also retain materials related to celebrations of historical events in Alaska, such as the centennial celebration of the naming of Mt. McKinley (now known as Denali).[6]
