Lilly Library Request System

The Lilly Library Request System allows you to:

  • request books and manuscripts to use in the Reading Room
  • schedule a date to visit the Reading Room
  • have access to all of your current, past, and saved requests
  • and if you are teaching a class at the Lilly Library, you can collaborate with a librarian to create an online list of materials to use in class!

To create your user account, access the Lilly Library Request System. We have a handy link at the top of all of our web pages, too!

To request items with this system:

  • search IUCAT and look for the “Lilly Library: Request This” button on Lilly Library records
  • find manuscript materials in IU’s Archives Online and look for the “Request” button at the top of the page
