Established in 1974 as the replacement for the Library Advisory Committee, the Bloomington Library Faculty Council (BLFC) is the formal representative organization of the library faculty at Indiana University’s flagship campus in Bloomington. It functions as an advisory body to the library administration and as the governing body of the Bloomington library faculty. The BLFC works with both the Bloomington Faculty Council and the Indiana University Library Faculty Council in order to coordinate its efforts.

Throughout its history the BLFC has also maintained a number of standing committees. These committees are divided by general library function, such as collection development or the annual elections of new members to the BLFC and are intended to assist the BLFC in administering and advising the Bloomington campus library system and the Dean of Libraries. Among the most notable and longest-tenured committees are the Collection Development Committee, the Faculty Standards Committee, and the Budgetary Advisory Committee.
