Main Collection

The main library collection is located on the second floor of the MLIC building. The collection generally reflects the academic program at IUJ, and it is strongest in the areas of economics, business administration, finance and accounting, political science, international relations, international development, and Asian studies.

The collection is primarily in English, but Japanese and other non-English language materials have been added when they were considered the only reliable source on a subject. Most books on the general stacks are available for circulation, but the materials designated for reference use have this label (see image below) on the spine and do not normally circulate outside of the library.

The reference collection mainly consists of directories and encyclopedias, bibliographies, yearbooks, dictionaries, and statistics and they are shelved separately in the Reference Stacks on the South Side of the library.
