A Unique Collection

The JIBC Library has a unique collection of justice and public safety resources that our students won’t be able to find anywhere else.  

The Library pairs its unique collection with great people. Our librarians provide research assistance to help students find information on subjects taught at JIBC and can assist with improving studying and writing skills and citing sources correctly.
