Accessing eBooks, eJournals, and Other Online Materials
McMillen Library subscribes to a variety of online resources, including academic databases, eJournals, eBook collections, and much more. Please visit our Research page to access these collections.
- Only students, faculty, and staff of Indiana Tech have access to subscription databases and electronic books. Our licenses and contractual agreements with vendors prohibit alumni or community member access.
- If you are off-campus, please log in to the LetMeIn portal first to properly authenticate your credentials for the library-subscribed databases. Use your Indiana Tech username (your email address) and password to log in.
Research Guides
The librarians provide a number of Research Guides on various topics, and these can be found on our LibGuides site. These guides provide users with a starting point when conducting research or highlight topic areas to show where one can learn more about specific subject matter.
Interlibrary Loan (ILL)
If the material you want or need cannot be obtained from the McMillen Library, Interlibrary Loan is a possible option for acquiring access to the resource. Articles often arrive within 4 business days and are emailed as PDF files. Books may take from two weeks up to a month. Please notice that we cannot guarantee a delivery timeframe because we depend on the lending libraries’ procedures. Books can be picked up at the Circulation Desk. You can request an Interlibrary Loan by completing the Interlibrary Loan Form.
What can be requested via ILL?
- Selected book chapters
- Books
- Dissertations & Theses
- Technical Reports
- Selected articles from journals
Accessing Materials from Other Libraries
Sometimes a user will seek full-text access to a book or article that McMillen Library does not have access to. Users may wish to visit their own local public or university library in an attempt to obtain these materials. Patrons may visit McMillen Library to request an Academic Libraries of Indiana (ALI) card, which can then be used to obtain materials from these libraries. Please inquire at the McMillen Library Welcome Desk about this possibility.
Study Room
The study pods and study room on the first floor can be used for individual study. The study pods on the second floor can be used for collaborative studying and can accommodate 4-6 people. All study pods or rooms in the library are occupied on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Available Technology in the Library
McMillen Library has computer stations available for student and faculty use. Second-floor computers are available 24/7 by swiping your Indiana Tech ID card at the door.
A black and white printer is located on the first floor of the library, and a color printer can be found on the second floor. All printers have copying and scanning capabilities. Students and faculty/staff must use their ID cards or log in to the printers to use them. The second-floor printer is accessible 24/7 by swiping your Indiana Tech ID card at the door.
