Within the Indiana University Northwest library, community patron is defined as a person who is not enrolled or working at Indiana University, but is an Indiana resident OR an Ivy Tech student.
As an academic institution, our library is primarily focused on assisting patron needs related to research and academic pursuits. As noted under our library policies, assistance by library staff is limited to technical issues involving computer and printer access. Librarians can assist beyond technical issues with the following stipulations.
The questions and needs we will not assist with include, but are not limited to:
This list is subject to change without notice, as we cannot expect to know every scenario in advance. Librarians have the discretion to deny assisting with a question if they believe it falls outside the scope of reasonable and expected library support for community patrons.
Need some expert help? Our librarians are available for research consultations in person and by Zoom! Schedule today if you need a little extra guidance on your research or for use of library resources.
