Campus Resources

Libraries

Current holdings within the IUPUI library system include over 1,339,000 volumes, more than 36,000 current periodicals and journals, and more than 1,448,700 microforms and audiovisual materials. Its services are available to individual citizens, businesses, professional firms, and public agencies, as well as university students, faculty, and staff. The libraries’ holdings are accessed through a computer network linking Indiana University libraries statewide, and an interlibrary loan system makes available local, state, and national academic library resources. Hundreds of computer workstations are available throughout the various library facilities and a majority of the electronic resources also may be accessed remotely.

Serving as a centerpiece for the IUPUI library system, the University Library provides academic and community patrons with multiple study and learning spaces. The five-story facility, opened in 1993, houses hundreds of study carrels, group study rooms, multimedia classrooms and a 100-seat auditorium. With a capacity of one million volumes, the library is also one of the most technologically sophisticated library/high technology centers on the North American continent. Using one of more than 300 scholar’s workstations, the library patron may access academic reference and research tools, application software, course reserves, live news/educational television, and videotapes as well as the Internet.

The University Library’s collections, programs, and services support undergraduate and graduate programs, including the IUPUI University College, IU Schools of Business, Education, Informatics, Journalism, Liberal Arts, Library and Information Science, Music, Nursing, Public and Environmental Affairs, Social Work, and Physical Education. The libraries also serve the Purdue Schools of Science and Engineering and Technology. The library also contains a large collection of works focused on philanthropic studies.

In addition, smaller collections such as the Sussman Collection in Sociology and the Peirce collection in the School of Liberal Arts exist on campus.
