Mission
Dennis Soto Library
Our mission is to meet the information needs of the university community, within the Christian education philosophy of Antillean University.
The Dennis Soto Library is the primary information resource for the entire university community. It provides access to print and digital collections of books and journals that facilitate the research process. We also offer individual guidance on using the available bibliographic resources and group guidance sessions for courses, in coordination with the faculty. Guidance can be offered virtually or in person. The library has a chat service available on its website for users to ask questions of the librarian on duty in real time. This service also allows for videoconferencing if the user needs it to clarify any doubts about using the library’s resources.

The Library has access to over 25 databases of journals and ebooks through our website. These databases provide access to over 300,000 digital books and more than 10,000 e-journal titles, accessible from any internet-connected device. Simply enter your desired keyword to find and print articles, including a wide variety of peer-reviewed professional journals, and read complete ebooks. To request access to the database, please contact the Reference Desk.

The Antillean Adventist University Library originated in 1961, when Antillean College was established in Mayagüez. The first library was located in a classroom on the first floor of the main building. Later, the library moved to the space above the cafeteria, which is now the Nursing Department and the Amphitheater. In 1979, the new three-story building was inaugurated, providing ample space for study and the development of the collections. In 1998, the building was remodeled to make it more hurricane-resistant and was named the Dennis Soto Library in recognition of his contribution to the project. Currently, the library occupies the first two floors of the building.
The Computer Center is located on the first floor of the Dennis Soto Library. It has 30 computers with internet access and word processing software so students can complete their assignments and print documents. We also have three Mac computers where graphic design students can work on their projects. All internet use must adhere to the Christian moral standards promoted by this University. To use the computers, you must present your University ID at the reception desk.
