Introduction

The Indiana University Bloomington Libraries offer a wide range of services for both students and faculty conducting library research; see the IUB Libraries' list of All Services.

Students, faculty, and staff at all IU campuses have access to IUCAT (the IU Libraries' catalog) and many other databases in a wide variety of subject areas. People not affiliated with IU may not have access to all electronic resources in the instructional links listed below.

In addition to the following resources, you can ask for individual help from librarians in person at the library reference desks or remotely via Ask a Librarian.

Help for students

If you have never done library research before, see the Interactive Tutorials.

Course-specific resources

For course-specific (e.g., W131: Elementary Composition) research suggestions, see the Class web pages.

Workshops

Each fall semester, library staff hold drop-in workshops in the Information Commons with topics ranging from using Google to starting a research paper. View the schedule of workshops.

Help for faculty, instructors, and graduate students
