Herman B Wells Library

06/20/2005

Did you find what you're looking for?

The Main Library name has been changed on the IUB Libraries Web site to the Herman B Wells Library. The name change is reflected in the A to Z list and the other lists of libraries, as well in IUCAT. 

In April, the Trustees of Indiana University approved naming the Main Library after Herman B Wells, and the university celebrated the naming with a ceremony on June 17.

"We are indebted to Herman Wells for his vision and tireless efforts that transformed Indiana University into a world-class research university," said IU President Adam W. Herbert. "In recognition of President Wells' distinguished institutional leadership, it is particularly fitting that the university's central repository of knowledge -- our main library -- be named after him."
