The IUPUI University Library Information System includes a variety of materials obtained from many different sources and that have been created by many different members of the Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis community as well as the Indianapolis community. Although a work may be freely accessible on the World Wide Web and may not include any statement about copyright, the U. S. Copyright Act nevertheless provides that such works are protectable by copyright. Users must assume that works are protected by copyright until they learn otherwise.

You will be asked for your IUPUI Network ID (username and password) when accessing University Library's electronic resources from off-campus.

The Indiana University Central Authentication Service has determined that your IU Network ID and password are valid, but your network ID is not affiliated with the IUPUI campus.

Off-campus (remote) access to electronic databases and other online resources licensed by IUPUI University Library is legally restricted to those faculty, staff and students affiliated with the IUPUI campus.

Reference Materials

The Reference Collection is a non-circulating collection. This means that most items in the collection will never circulate. Under extraordinary circumstances, a faculty member may pre-arrange to check out an item for 24 hours. (One 24-hour renewal is also allowed.) No one may borrow more than five Reference items at a time.

All library materials are subject to recall after two weeks.

Public Computer Usage

All users are required to log-in in order to use the computers in University Library.

Students, staff and faculty should log-in using their campus network ID and password.

Guest Computer IDs are available to patrons over the age of 16 upon presentation of a valid IUPUI University Library Borrower's Card with the status of Indiana Resident.

In accordance with the University Library mission, the IUPUI University Library is open to the students, faculty, and staff of IUPUI and associated communities. The Library supports this same population throughout the Indiana University system, as well as residents of the Indianapolis area, and the State of Indiana. Privileges will vary according to the status of the user.

A proxy account will allow your assistant to act on your behalf while conducting business at University Library. We highly recommend that if your assistant is going to be checking out materials for you to have a proxy account setup for them. While University Library does not charge overdue fines for Faculty, this would not apply if your assistant checked out materials for you on their personal account. There are three ways to establish a proxy account for your assistant:

IUPUI students, faculty and staff may place online requests to obtain most books located at most other IU libraries without using traditional interlibrary loan methods or filling out a form. This service is called Request Delivery, and is much faster for you as a library user while saving the IU library system money. Most books arrive within 4-7 working days.
