The IHU Library’s primary mission is to support the instructional, reference, research, and administrative needs of the university’s students, faculty, and staff. Library facilities, collections, and services are also accessible to others whose information needs require these resources.
The Library is intended for research and study, to support the mission of the university, and to preserve and protect the collections for future users. Members of the university community (faculty, students, staff) have first priority to use library property, resources, and services. Persons not affiliated with the university community (guests, visitors, members of the general public) may enter library facilities to use collections and services. Any other use of library facilities by non-affiliated users is not permitted and may be considered trespassing.
The policies outlined in this document have been established for the safety, security, and comfort of IHU Library patrons.
