Welcome!
This guide is designed to help language instructors make the most of Indiana University Libraries' resources in your language classes. Whether you're teaching introductory or advanced levels, online or in person, or in a huge class or small, the library offers a wide range of resources to support your work.
Inside this guide, you'll find general information about how to access library services, including borrowing materials, using study spaces, and connecting with subject librarians who specialize in language, literature, and international studies. It also includes links to curated research tools and databases that may be especially helpful for language instruction and cultural exploration.
Special collections across IU’s libraries, such as rare books, manuscripts, and audio recordings, offer unique opportunities to enrich your teaching. This guide highlights how you can incorporate these materials into your pedagogy and where to find them, and also features a quick search tool that allows you to easily locate dictionaries, textbooks, and other resources in your target language.
Finally, this guide is still under development; please do not hesitate to reach out to the guide owner, Gwendolyn Kirk, with suggestions or feedback on content.
