Research Support
HPU librarians are dedicated to supporting the academic success of all students, faculty, and staff. Whether you’re starting a project, deep into research, or preparing to publish, we’re here to help. We offer guidance on finding reliable sources, using library tools, and sharing your work through platforms like the HPU Digital Repository.
