The Lippincott Library of the Wharton School is the business library at the University of Pennsylvania. It was founded in 1927 with a gift from Joanna Wharton Lippincott, the daughter of Joseph Wharton. Lippincott was originally housed in a Wharton building (Logan Hall, now Claudia Cohen Hall), but moved into the Van Pelt-Dietrich Library Center when the Dietrich wing was constructed in the late 1960s.

The Pragmatic Imagination: a History of the Wharton School 1881-1981, covers the first 100 years of Wharton School history.
