Library Borrower's Cards
- The Mastodon card serves as the official IPFW ID for IPFW students, faculty, and staff. It also serves as a library borrower's card, good at any Indiana University library. The card may be picked up at the Walb Union Information Desk. Call or visit Walb Union for more information.
- Indiana residents who are not part of the IPFW university community are eligible for a special library borrower's card. Applicants must present two valid IDs, one of which must show a current address. Applicants who are under age 18 will be asked to fill out a consent form and obtain a parent or guardian's signature.
Confidentiality of Library Circulation RecordsCirculation records are confidential. The library does not reveal the titles or nature of the materials checked out by any library patron. The library does not knowingly issue materials to anyone but the card owner. See the library's Privacy Policy for further information.

Renewing Library MaterialsIn most cases, library materials may be renewed if no other person has placed a hold request on the items. IPFW students, faculty, and staff may renew items using IUCAT Catalog’s My Account feature. Materials may also be renewed in person at the library’s Service Desk, by mail or by e-mailing circ@ipfw.edu.
My AccountThe My Account feature of IUCAT Catalog (Indiana University's online library catalog) allows IPFW students, faculty, and staff to view a list of the items they have checked out and renew selected items. Look for the My Account link on the toolbar at the top of the IUCAT Catalog search screen. The username and password are the same as those used to access IPFW computer network accounts.
