Krannert Memorial Library is a vital information source for all members of the university community. With collections of over 150,000 books and almost 1,000 periodicals subscriptions, most research for classroom needs can be accomplished in this facility. Interlibrary loan capabilities, computer databases, and electronic texts extend information resources beyond the campus.
The beautiful library building was built in 1977 with significant financial assistance from Mrs. Herman Krannert, whose husband was an important Indianapolis businessman. There are three floors with ample furniture for research and study.
The public service operations of the Circulation Desk, the Reserves Desk, and the Reference Desk are located on the first floor, as are the non-public Technical Services areas and the office of the Library Director.
On the second floor is the University Archives, which houses a variety of documents, publications, and artifacts relating to the history of the university and its faculty, alumni, and friends. The Fouts Rare Books Room houses a fine collection of old and rare books with examples of early printed works, artistic bindings, limited editions, and facsimiles of famous publications. The university's Writing Lab, run by the English Department, is also located on the second floor.
