The American Indian Studies Collection of the ISU Library is designed to support study, instruction, and research in the interdisciplinary field of American Indian Studies at the higher education level. American Indian Studies materials are defined as those materials dealing with the experiences of American Indian peoples indigenous to the United States and its border regions (Canada, Mexico, Latin America). Collection emphases are on the social sciences and the humanities, as well as scholarly and authoritative informational works appropriate for use at undergraduate, graduate, and research levels. Popular materials may also be selected to serve patron and community needs. Primary clientele of this collection are students and faculty in the American Indian Studies Program and additional campus courses with American Indian / Indigenous emphases, students enrolled in relevant courses within US Cultures & Communities, those majoring or minoring in relevant areas, faculty research needs, and those interested in American Indian / Indigenous perspectives and contributions. As patrons represent a wide variety of needs, resources not specifically related to the curricula may also be provided.
