Support the University Library

The University Library is a cutting edge, patron focused, research oriented, public academic library. All of the work we do is to help educate and support the research of IU Indianapolis faculty and students and to share knowledge with our community. Our collections, research, and innovative work could not be done without the support of donors like you. Thank you for considering a gift to the University Library!
