Circulation Information & Policies
The collections of the Irwin Library and the Ruth Lilly Science
Library are available for use by all members of the Butler
community. Limited access to library materials is extended to
readers and researchers outside the Butler community.
Library materials may be used in the libraries, or they can be
borrowed using a Butler ID card or a Special Borrower's library
card. For more information please select from the list on the
right.
To monitor your due-dates or to renew your materials
online log into
My Library Card.
Alumni
Butler University Alumni have the same borrowing privileges for
print materials as currently enrolled students. The only
requirement to receive these privileges is to acquire a Special
Borrower's library card. To acquire a Special Borrower's card,
Alumni must show their Alumni ID Card at the Irwin Library
Circulation Desk and then fill out a Special Borrower's form. An Alumni
ID Card can be obtained at Robertson Hall. Here is more
information about computer privileges in the
library.
General Public
The general public may visit the Butler University Libraries and
read or browse the collections. Those who live in Marion,
Hendricks, Boone, Hamilton, Hancock, Shelby, and Johnson counties
may receive borrowing privileges for one year for a fee of $50.
See the Special Borrowers page for
