How to Visit

The main entrance to the Foster Business Library is on the first floor of Paccar Hall (one level below the café); an accessible entrance via elevator is located on the basement level.

This library supports the Foster School of Business with more than 300 business and economics journals and newspapers, specialized online business databases, and expert business librarians who can help you find whatever information you need for your research.

While the main focus is on business, all students are welcome to use the Foster Business Library.

Visit the Information Desk near the entrance staircase to check out books and borrow course textbooks for many business and economics classes.

This bright and airy library is a great place to study alone or with a group. There are lots of large study tables with plenty of power outlets, all lit by an 800-square-foot skylight.

In addition, there are computers, printers (including a color printer), scanners, reservable group study rooms, and Zoom pods for private calls and online classes.
