Here at the Library of Congress,
we have hundreds of miles of
Stacks books, maps, newspapers,
photographs, comic books,
films. We have it all.
But did you know that in
addition to these physical
Stacks, the Library of Congress
also has digital Stacks?
These digital Stacks, which we
simply call Stacks, consist of
restricted content, meaning
that you'll need to be on site
at one of the libraries Capitol
Hill buildings to access it.
Stacks enables on site library
visitors to access digital
content with certain rights
restrictions, but you can still
access the rest of the
library's publicly available
digital collections anywhere in
the world.
If you're on site at the
Library of Congress,
the types of rights restricted
digital content you can access
includes ebooks, journal
articles, newspapers, audio
recordings, music scores, and
more.
Using Stacks is easy,
just remember these three
steps; search, save, Stacks.
To discover
materials available in Stacks,
start by searching the
library's online catalog.
Content that's only available
in the Stacks system will say
available on site via Stacks on
the "Items" page.
Once you've found what you're
looking for, save a copy of the
items record and make your way
to a Stacks terminal in one of
the library's many reading
rooms and research centers.

Stacks terminals can be found
across the library's three
buildings on Capitol Hill, and
are available to anyone with a
library reader identification
card.
Here are just a few things to
keep in mind when using the
library's digital Stacks.
Materials are only available on
site at the Library of Congress.
Some Stacks items may be
available through your local
library's interlibrary loan
program.
You can print portions of
materials from the Stacks
platform for a small fee.
However, you cannot download or
email any Stacks materials. If
you have a question about
accessing materials in the
Stacks platform, Library of
Congress staff are here to help.
You can visit us in person in
our reading rooms and research
centers, or online through the
"Ask a Librarian" website.
Thank you.
