Questions?
Reserves - Textbooks
Does the library have the textbook for my class?
- Not all textbooks are on reserve for use in the library. Check with staff to see if the textbook you need is available.
Can textbooks on reserve be checked out?
- Materials kept on reserve may not leave the library. They are for short-term in-library use only.
Computers and the Internet
What is MyIvy, and how do I find out my username and password?
- MyIvy is Ivy Tech Community College's student portal for email, course registration, grades, transcripts, online payments, class communication, college events and other student services.
Can I use a library computer if I'm not an Ivy Tech student, faculty, or staff member?
- At the South Bend and Elkhart County Campus Libraries, non-student computer users are limited to one 60-minute computer session per day, and the campus libraries may have designated computers especially assigned for non-student use.
Do I need a special login to use the library's computers?
- Yes. To log onto the computers in the library, you need to use the same username and password that you use for MyIvy. Off-campus access to library resources also requires your MyIvy username and password.
Miscellaneous
Can I donate books or other materials to the library?
- Donations of recently published books or videos that meet the information needs of Ivy Tech students, faculty, and staff are always appreciated. Please see a librarian for more information on how to make a donation.
