Ruth Lilly Law Library

Really nice, new-​ish law library in a really nice, new-​ish law school on the Indiana University/​Purdue University-​Indianapolis (IUPUI) downtown campus.
Years ago, the law library at the IUPUI law school was a complete frump of a building. It was poorly lit, badly carpeted, and not well ventilated. I really dreaded going there for my undergrad General Law and Legal Research and Writing courses. Also, the staff never cracked a smile.
Walking in through the present incarnation of the school’s front entrance gives the viewer the impression of soaring heights, open space, and access to lovely materials like marble and polished wood. The pleasantness is carried through the law library’s front doors into a comfortable lounge area. Next, the reference desk lobby which is more functional than pretty offers friendly, competent (and even eager) personnel to assist. Located numerous books on my study topic, most recently published. Yea!
Only drawback this visitor finds is that this is a very Indiana-​centric facility. Physical resources for other states, like, say, California, aren’t quite so abundant. Ah, well. (Shrug.)
