Visitor Information
The Pacific University Libraries operate two full-service library locations on the Forest Grove and Hillsboro campuses, and support resource collections on the Eugene campus and for students in Woodburn-based cohorts. University and general community members are welcome to visit the Forest Grove and Hillsboro campus libraries; specific information about features and services are noted below.
The Tim and Cathy Tran Library on the Forest Grove campus opened in 2005, replacing the Harvey W. Scott Memorial Library, which had been dedicated in 1967. In 2017, the library was named for Khiem “Tim” ’74 and Thuy “Cathy” Tran ’74 in 2017 in honor of their accomplishments and commitment, and generosity to furthering the education of students at Pacific University. Students (and faculty and staff) can study here anytime with their BoxerID Card; enter through the main doors during open hours and use the 24-hour study center entrance after hours. Computers, printers, scanners/copiers, and restrooms are available in all library spaces. Individual and group study rooms are also available, and may be reserved in advance. Research librarians, instructional designers, peer tutoring, and Access Services staff are all available to help!

The Hillsboro Campus Library opened in 2006 and primarily supports the College of Health Professions with a collection of health sciences materials, as well as College of Business programs based on the Hillsboro Campus—but all Pacific students, staff, and faculty are welcome to visit! Two study rooms, individual study carrels, computers, a printer, and scanners/copiers are available in the library; these can all be accessed during non-staffed hours by using your BoxerID Card. Research librarians, instructional designers, peer tutors, and Access Services staff are also all here to help. Our library is also proudly a resource for the Pacific Northwest Region of the National Network of Libraries of Medicine.

The Libraries’ presence on the Eugene campus has evolved since the campus opened in 1992, with a physical resource collection at the center of its on-site presence. Library collections on the campus focus on supporting College of Education programs; resources can be checked out via a self-check station, or portions scanned using a high-speed book-cradle scanner for digital use. Direct delivery of other physical and digital resources are provided to those based on the Eugene campus, and both in-person and virtual support are offered by Forest Grove and Hillsboro-based research librarians, instructional designers, and Access Services staff. On-site library services, including Orbis Cascade Alliance courier services, are also available through the Lane Community College Library in partnership with LCC’s library faculty and staff.
