Online Users
The Fuller Libraries exist to serve patrons in real and virtual environments who are researching in locations all over the globe. Our resources and services support this research in such diverse settings.
In addition to serving students and faculty at Fuller’s Pasadena campus, the Hubbard library serves many online users, such as Fuller students enrolled in online or regional campus programs, Fuller faculty members teaching at regional campuses, and Fuller staff employed at regional campuses. Programs and services for online users include books-by-mail, scan on demand, interlibrary loan, and a significant number of electronic resources.
Software
EndNote
Since June of 2018, BibleWorks software is no longer for sale. Fuller now utilizes Accordance bible software for LG500 and LG510, the Greek and Hebrew “Tools” classes. Students who already own Bibleworks may continue to utilize the software in these classes and in their studies. New students who would like to purchase Accordance may do so at a special discounted price. More information about pricing and the transition to Accordance is available on the Quad here.
The Hubbard Library has licensed copies of both Bibleworks and Accordance software available for student use. Four computers in the computer lab on the 2nd floor in the Pasadena campus library are equipped with Bibleworks, and two computers are equipped with Accordance.
Holds & Recalls
If the item you need is checked out to another borrower, you may request the item by placing a hold on it. This reserves the item for you when it is returned. You may place a hold from your library account or by requesting assistance from the Circulation Desk. When your item arrives, you will be notified by email. If your item is not picked up within 7 days, the hold will expire and the item will be returned to the shelf.
Sometimes items may need to be recalled for use by the library or other patrons. In these cases, a recall can be placed on the item. If a recall is issued for an item you are currently borrowing, you will be notified by email of the new due date for the item. If the item is not returned by the new due date, the item will incur a fine of $5.00 per day.
Patrons may request a recall for items that have been out for longer than 3 weeks and are not due back for an extended period of time. If patrons would like to request a recall on an item, they should contact the Circulation Desk.
Please note that not all patrons may place holds on books or request recalls. See Access Policies for more detail.

Book Renewal
Fuller Seminary students, faculty, adjunct faculty, and staff, along with visiting scholars, may renew items on or before their due date. Items may be renewed in person at the Circulation Desk, by phone, or by email. Items may also be renewed online.
How to renew items online:
- Click “My Account” (upper right hand corner).
- Enter your Fuller username and password.
- Under the “Checkouts” tab, select the items you wish to renew.
- Click the “renew items” button.
Why can’t I renew my items?
- Further remote renewals will exceed your designated renewal privileges.
- The item may be required reading for a class and needed for the Reserves collection.
- Another patron may have placed a hold on the item.
- There may be a block on your account preventing renewals.
Alumni and consortial patrons do not have remote renewal privileges. Items must be brought to the Library in person for renewal, and there must be no blocks on the account.
For more details on how many times you can renew items remotely, see Access Policies.

Computer Lab
The computer lab offers users a number of research tools and a setting in which to use them. While the lab is open to all Fuller users, its primary purpose is to meet the research needs of current Fuller students, faculty, the broader Fuller community, and visiting scholars.
Location
– Area adjacent to the Library Administration wing
Additionally, laptops are available for checkout at the Circulation Desk.
Computer Use
Lab users are responsible for their own personal belongings and equipment and should not leave items unattended.
Personal belongings left unattended for more than four hours will be considered abandoned and will be moved to Fuller’s lost and found holding area. The lost and found is located at the seminary’s main switchboard.

Interlibrary Loan
Interlibrary Loan (ILL) Services assist current students, faculty, and staff, both remotely and in person, in obtaining materials not accessible in our collections. We are able to obtain most monographs that you may need in your research, regardless of language or country of publication. Print monographs received from other libraries must be retrieved from the David Allan Hubbard Library Circulation Desk. Most of the journal articles/book chapters that we receive through ILL arrive as PDFs and will be emailed or uploaded to the ILL page of your library account. ILL staff will also assist online users with accessing fuller owned material through its Books-by-Mail and Scan on Demand programs. For more information on these services, see the library services for online patrons libguide.
Please note: Some ILL requests will come back as “Cancelled” because the library has decided to purchase your request. Purchased items are located as eBooks first, then in print.
We encourage all of our current students, faculty, and staff to utilize our Interlibrary Loan services. Access to ILL services is integrated with your library account and can be reached through the “My ILL Requests” page here. Unfortunately at this time, Alumni and guests are unable to use our ILL services.
