2022: IU Libraries Year in Review
IU Libraries offers this page as a look back at key moments in 2022. We kicked off the year with new fellowships, welcomed a new Dean in March, expanded open access publishing partnerships, announced a renovation of the Education Library, and ended the year with two grant announcements. Throughout we hosted and attended dozens of campus events such as the August Herman B House Party, pictured below. Thank you to IU President Pamela Whitten for stopping by to welcome students to a new school year.
IU Libraries also offers a page of media stories about our people and projects. Catch up on the times we were In the News in 2022.
