Reserve materials such as class readings, study aids, and suggested texts are shelved in the Reserve section in the Learning Resource Center. Materials are placed in the reserve collection on the Library Catalog website for the semester for specific classes and are selected by faculty staff. 

Students will have immediate access to those materials for the duration of the term or semester. Reserve books cannot be checked-out as they are for in-house use only. Please indicate your name on the index card provided.  If you need to make a photocopy from a reserve book, ask the LRC staff.

IBC alumni have access to the wealth of resources available on RightNow Media. Please contact the LRC Director, Kelly Johnson (kjohnson@indianbible.org), to obtain access. In addition, alumni are welcome to use the Learning Resource Center library. Access is available to alumni during regular business hours. Kelly will be happy to get you started.

Building our library collection is a cooperative effort involving staff, faculty and students. To request that the LRC add an item to its library collection, complete a New Materials Request form. Your recommendation will be given careful consideration. Please note that collection development decisions are not subjective, but follow the provisions of the LRC Collection Development Policy.
