Library Item Search

IIG Library offers a wide range of resources, both physical and electronic. Discover books, articles, journals, and more via the library catalog. You can use the ‘search across the Call Number’ feature in the library catalog to locate books on the same subject on the same shelf.

Each library shelf has been numbered with a guide on the front of the shelf stating where you can find books on a particular subject.

Use the QR codes for easy access to the catalog via your mobile devices.
