Additional Info

Exterior of the Franklin D. Schurz Library.

The Franklin D. Schurz Library is home to wonderful collections, services, and spaces. It contains thousands of books, government documents, journals, and audio/visual recordings, as well as the University Archives and Special Collections. The library also subscribes to a huge number of databases, which provide access to full-text journal and newspaper articles, plus a wide-ranging selection of e-books and streaming media titles. 

Nearly all of these online resources are accessible off-campus via the library website. And because the Schurz Library is part of the larger IU Libraries system, patrons can quickly request materials from the other IU Libraries using IUCAT or—outside the IU system—interlibrary loan.

The Franklin D. Schurz Library Collection Endowment was originally established in 1999. It continues to help IU South Bend and Schurz Library serve many students on and off campus. Thank you for supporting this vital fund for our campus!
