The Indiana University Library System includes the libraries on the
Bloomington campus, the Indianapolis campus, and the six other campuses. As the largest
library system in Indiana, it serves the faculty, students, and staff of Indiana
University, all citizens of Indiana, and scholars from around the nation and the world.
The chart below summarizes the number of books and bound journals held by each campus. As
of June 30, 1999, the 6,177,836 volumes held by the Bloomington campus libraries made up
71 percent of the total system's holdings. The Indianapolis campus housed 15 percent of
the entire collection, and the other campuses held 14 percent of the collection. Between
1993 and 1999, the holdings of the total system increased by 1,056,743 volumes, an
