The Dental Library, established in 1881 as a faculty library, provides resources
and services to support the teaching, research, patient care and community
outreach services of the faculty, staff and students of the
Indiana University School of Dentistry and serves as a source of dental
health information for IU School of Dentistry alumni, Indiana citizens and other
dental health professionals.
The Library holds over 57,000 volumes on dentistry, as well as, the basic
sciences and selected medical specialties. It has subscriptions to nearly 600
current print journal titles. Its collection of over 26,000 books and 31,000
bound journal volumes date back to the mid-1800s and are international in scope.
As part of the Indiana
University Library System, the IU School of Dentistry Library's collections

In addition to IUCAT, the library provides access to a number of subject
