The Ivy Tech Indianapolis Library strives to uphold and promote Ivy Tech’s mission and values, helping foster and exhibit empathy, integrity, accountability, agility, and connectivity. While we accomplish Ivy Tech goals through facilitating space for community, we also provide various resources and our collection focuses on meeting the needs and desires of our students. The collection is curriculum focused and selected by both our faculty and librarians.

It important that all our patrons get the opportunity to borrow items from our collection. That is why fines may be charged for books that are not renewed or returned. However, once returned all accrued fines may be waived.*
*If an item is lost or damaged the fine will be equal to the replacement cost of the book.
DVDs may be checked out for two weeks.
If Ivy Tech Libraries across the state do not have the book you are looking for, the ILL service is used to compliment our collection. Through ILL we are able to borrow items from other libraries. It generally takes about one week to receive a journal article request from other libraries and two weeks to receive a book requested item from other libraries. All of our requests are filled by libraries (Academic and Public) located within the State of Indiana. Visit the library desk or complete an ILL form to place an ILL request. There is no charge for ILL items borrowed from another Ivy Tech Library or from another library within the State of Indiana.
