Libraries

"No one literally that I know of or that I could find had the kind of facilities that Indiana University has and already had in their extraordinary, state-of-the-art, archival buildings."  - Glenn Close

Close donated her meticulously preserved costume collection to the Eskenazi School of Art, Architecture + Design's Sage Collection in 2017. During one of her visits to the Bloomington campus, Close toured the Ruth Lilly Auxiliary Library Facility, operated by IU Libraries.

The 3rd Annual Art+ Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-Thon will be held virtually over a series of days - Monday, March 29 through Sunday, April 11 - instead of as a one-time time in-person event.  Because 99.99% of Wikipedia is written by volunteers, event organizers note this is a great opportunity for making progress in creating information equity. Women are less documented on the internet, specifically on Wikipedia. 

IU’s Art +Feminism drop-in zoom sessions will provide student editors with the tools and know-how. No prerequisite knowledge is required, but registration is requested.

The $12.4 million project to renovate the iconic Lilly Library is coming to a close. Librarians and outside contractors are planning the process that will take collections now housed in several secure campus locations back home to the Lilly Library. The months-long process of moving collections will also disrupt our services—even more than the global pandemic already has.

Regretfully, Lilly Library reference and digitization services must be suspended from March 1 through at least August 15, 2021 to accommodate the moving back process.
