The IUB Libraries: Library services and operations in historical context

This document explores the rich history of the IUB Libraries, tracing key developments from the establishment of the Seminary Square Collection in 1891, which housed 9,000 volumes, to the impressive growth of resources over the decades, culminating in over 7 million volumes by 2005. It highlights significant milestones such as the construction of Library Hall, the transition to Franklin Hall, and the establishment of specialized spaces for undergraduates. The role of technology, expanding collections, and the impact of significant donations—like the Lilly Library—are all emphasized in this historical context.
