Libraries

IU librarians have come together to offer an online guide to our most relevant resources and first-person documentation of underrepresented experiences in America. Hundreds of databases, primary sources, journals, and digital exhibits are available to the IU community and featured in the guide, which will continue to expand as more resources are suggested and discovered.

We are still, and always, here to help.  

The IU Libraries' buildings open this fall will allow reservation-only seating for studying. Some services are appointment only, and many operations have been modified to adjust to the global pandemic.

Learn about changes to access to our collections and spaces, as well as how to quickly connect to a librarian who can help with your research needs.

Students who need a place to study have choices. IU Libraries offers a reserved seating system, while other spaces on campus are available for non-reservation, drop-in study.  For Fall 2020 many classrooms have been set aside as open study spaces, while traditional computer labs remain open and ready for students. All spaces require students to wear a mask while using an indoor space.  

When your work is done, IU also has spaces for recreation and arts and culture activities.
