The
University Library of Columbus (ULC) serves the students and faculty of IUPUC, Ivy Tech Community
College and the Purdue University College of Technology in Columbus. Located in the Columbus Learning
Center, the library offers a full range of services to its users, comparable to those available on the
Indianapolis, Bloomington, and West Lafayette campuses.
The
University Library of Columbus is first and foremost a teaching library. The library staff welcomes
requests for information, training, and research assistance from students, staff, and faculty of all
three institutions. The library's collection contains around 45,000 items and students, faculty, and
staff have access to more than six million items found in the statewide IU Library system. The library's
online catalog,
ULCat can be used to identify items owned by the libraries in the south-central region of
Indiana and to request many of the materials owned by the IU Library system. Materials which are not found
within IU, or photocopies of articles, may be requested via interlibrary loan.
The
University Library of Columbus offers its students, staff, and faculty access to an outstanding
collection of electronic resources including links to over 35,000 full-text, online journals, many of
which are peer reviewed as well as more than 30,000 full-text, online eBooks.
