Library Services

The following services are available from the the Sciences Library:

Interlibrary Loan (ILL)

The IUB Libraries will try to get materials from other libraries for you if we do not own what you are looking for. Any current faculty, staff, or student may use our free ILL service.

Class Reserves

Class reserves are print or media materials that instructors have requested to be set aside for short-term use by students throughout the duration of a course.

Data Services

The IU Libraries provide assistance to researchers working with data in all stages of the research life cycle, including: collecting, processing, analyzing, publishing, and preparing data for long-term access and storage.

Consult with a librarian

Teaching & Learning librarians are available to consult with departments or individual faculty, instructors, and librarians to discuss the integration of research knowledge and informed literacy into courses and assignments.

Research Assistance

The IU Libraries provide a wide range of services in support of the research interests of students, faculty and staff.

Scholars' Commons: Consulting, Digitization, Research Support

The Scholars' Commons provides specialized services in spaces designed to support scholarship and learning.

Off Campus Access to Resources (EZProxy)

EZProxy allows IU faculty, students, and staff to access library resources off campus. EZProxy creates permalinks that trigger IU authentication so you have full text access to resources IU pays for.
