Indiana University South Bend Franklin D. Schurz Library

Housing a mix of pre-K-12 curriculum resources and juvenile literature, the Dorothy J. Wiekamp Educational Resource Commons (WERC) is an exciting place for students who are preparing to become teachers. It's also a collaborative space where students gather to work on homework and projects.
