  • 8:00 am - 5:00 pm, Friday - Saturday
  • We are closed on Sunday
Library amenities include:
  • A ready reference collection of books and resource materials tailored to the classes taught in Louisville.
  • Computers furnished with Microsoft Office and Internet/database access.
  • A librarian with a Masters degree in Library and Information Science to assist you with research and database training.
In addition to the onsite librarian, you have access to the entire OCLS team. Based in Jackson Library on the Main IWU Campus in Marion, Indiana, OCLS staff is only a mouse click away when you need research help. Or, if you prefer, you may call 1-800-521-1848 (8:00 - 8:00 Monday-Thursday; 8:00 - 5:00 Friday; 9:30 - 2:00 Saturday) for assistance.

The OCLS team provides:
  • Home access to over 30 online academic research subscription databases.
    (Note: You must be a currently enrolled student at IWU to access these databases.)
  • Timely photocopying, faxing and/or emailing of journal articles not found in full-text format online.
  • Assistance with research when the local librarian is not available.

Library Subscription Databases

IWU provides access to over thirty online databases. These databases provide access to scholarly, peer-reviewed journal articles and book texts. Your student ID card provides you with your student barcode number. Some resources are only available in hardcopy at the Jackson Library in Marion, Indiana. If you require materials from these sources, use the online request form or call 1-800-521-1848 for assistance.

Your local public library will also provide you with access to online databases. Databases at the public library can be accessed with a public library card. Visit the Louisville Free Public Library (LFPL) homepage, your local branch library, or call the LFPL at 574-1611 for more information.
