Need to return books and movies, but parking is a problem? Help is on the way...
You can now return your books, videos and DVDs without scavenging for a parking space at the Herman B Wells Library. Three book-return receptacles are now located south of the library: one at the end of the sidewalk leading to the main entrance, and two at the Seventh Street turnaround just north of the Neal-Marshall Black Culture Center.
Remember that books may also be returned at any branch library.
And to speed up your transactions at the front end of the process, a self-service check-out machine located near the circulation desk in the Wells Library east tower offers you the option of checking out your own materials. Simply scan your ID, scan the book, and you’re out the door. Elect to have your charge slip sent to your e-mail rather than printing it out.

New Look, New Features for IUCAT
IUCAT, the university's online catalog with more than 5.6 million titles, has a new look and new features.
Upgraded in December, the catalog now features a streamlined interface to help reduce search errors. You can now also search for DVDs/videos, sound recordings, and E-books, and sort any of your searches by relevance. GoogleBooks and WorldCat are now one click away.
You should log in to IUCAT at the beginning of your search. Logging in allows you to access the full text when available and ensures you won't lose your search results if you later decide to renew library materials or request delivery of articles.
Note that off-campus users of the catalog must log in twice.
