About Us
WHAT WE DO:
The Arts & Humanities Department develops and maintains the IU Bloomington Libraries’ world-class research collections in the arts and humanities and related subjects. We connect faculty and students with these collections through instruction, reference and research services, and engagement and outreach. We provide specialized research assistance and instructional support across a wide range of subjects, liaising to around twenty-five academic departments, centers, and programs on the IU Bloomington campus. Our group is currently made up of a core of specialized librarians, and includes the Neal Marshall Black Culture Center Library.
