Access Policies

The Fuller Community

The David Allan Hubbard Library exists to serve the information and research needs of Fuller Theological Seminary and the broader graduate theological academic community. The Fuller Library is a private library only for the use of Fuller students, faculty, staff, other members of the immediate Fuller community, and authorized library-card holders (see below).

Members of Consortia Institutions

The library belongs to several library consortia. This is the preferred manner through which members of other graduate institutions can gain access to the library. Please inquire with your institution’s librarian about consortia membership and reciprocal borrowing participation. These consortia are the Southern California Theological Library Association (SCATLA), ATLA, and the Statewide California Electronic Library Consortium (SCELC).
