Walter E. Helmke Library Tour 

Welcome to the Walter E. Helmke Library at Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne (IPFW). This self-guided tour will introduce you to Helmke Library's physical and virtual environment for finding and evaluating information and doing research. We highlight features of the library building, and introduce our staff, collections, and services.

The tour (virtual or walking versions) should take you about half an hour to complete. At the end, there is a short quiz testing your ability to navigate the library.

• Begin the virtual library tour
  Explore this online version at any computer, on or off campus.
• View or print a copy of the walking library tour
  Take a tour of the library in person with this walking version in hand. You must have free Adobe Acrobat Reader software installed on your computer to view or print the walking library tour in PDF format.
• Take the tour quiz
  Test your knowledge by taking a 15-question quiz, and earn your Library User Certificate. You may print out your certificate if required as a class assignment.

When you need the help of a skilled information specialist, stop by the Service Desk or visit Ask a Librarian on the Helmke Library homepage. We hope you will meet us in person, contact us by e-mail or IM chat, or phone us at your convenience.
