The library does not provide Readers. IU South Bend students should make requests for Readers through the Office of Disability Support Services. Guests should make their requests through their local Vocational Rehabilitation agency. For vocational rehabilition services locations, check out the IN.gov website.
Any IU faculty, staff, or student may use Request Delivery in IUCAT to put holds on items for them. Staff at IU Libraries pull corresponding copies every weekday morning and ship to the appropriate "home library." Faculty, staff, or students will be notified through their IU email account when items are ready to be picked up.
In addition, for anyone in the building who would like immediate assistance, staff are willing to retrieve books as time permits.
