Where can I find information about library services for distance education or online learning?

The Indiana University Bloomington Libraries Distributed (Distance) Education Services are available to students enrolled in IUB courses living outside the Bloomington area, including PhD candidates enrolled for dissertation credit but not residing in Bloomington. For more about these services, see Libraries Distance Education.

Note: IUB Libraries Distributed Education Services are not available to students on the Bloomington campus or to individuals not affiliated with IUB.

If you are a distance education or online learning student, contact the IUB Libraries staff with your reference and research questions by email at  libdist@indiana.edu , via the online chat service Ask a Librarian, or by telephone at 888-258-6977. This phone number is toll-free from the US, Canada, or the Caribbean.
