Guide to Lilly's Stacks

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Library of Congress Project @ Lilly

  • Can't find it on the shelf?  Please ask at the Desk for assistance.*

The Lilly Library book collection is almost completely reclassified from the Dewey Decimal system to the Library of Congress (LC) system.  However, some Lilly books still remain in the Dewey system.  We ask that you request these items on-line.

*  Requesting Items?
During the LC conversion period, if you request a book or book search either through BARD (for grad students and faculty) or through Lilly Requests and do NOT receive a response or confirmation within 24 hours, please request the material through InterLibrary Loan.
