The library's current collection, as of February 2008, includes about 3500 books, 120 videotapes, 170 audiotapes, 270 journal articles, 90 booklets, 12 journal subscriptions, about 650 cataloged masters' theses, early LIOS curriculum materials (including "Survival Manuals"), Jossey-Bass Training and Consulting Annuals, a special collection of back issues of the Journal of the Association for Creative Change, and a collection of major theorists' bibliographies. The library also has the Study Guide for the Marriage and Family Therapy National Licensing Examination and supplementary materials for those preparing to take their licensure exams.

Master's theses, action research projects, and master's case studies have been completed by LIOS students in a variety of applied behavioral science topic areas, including leadership, coaching, training, consulting, counseling, managing, team-building, relationship-building, organizational dynamics and development, interventions, process facilitation, strategic planning, and women's issues. Bound copies of the most recent theses (from 1995 to the present) are available in the library for browsing, and PDF files of nearly all master's thesis projects back to about 1970 can be e-mailed to you.

Library Lending Policy

The Pino-Emory Library offers reference and circulation services to LIOS/Bastyr students, faculty and staff. Materials from the library may be checked out for the following time periods:

The library maintains copies of journal articles and shorter chapters (30 pages or fewer) on the reading schedules/lists. Students may make copies under the guidelines of the Copyright Law of the United States (Title 17, Unites States Code).

Copies of the articles and chapters mentioned above are sent out to every Module in folders in plastic bins for students to photocopy during the module and return to their folders. Books and videotapes can be sent to students at modules if they contact the librarian within three days of the first day of the module and the books are available in the library at that time. All borrowed materials can be returned during modules via the plastic bin designated for that purpose. Borrowed materials can be returned by mail as well.
