This guide is designed to provide you with links to information sources from the ISU Library that may be useful as you are working on your class assignments. For example, to complete the Audience Profile assignment (Due Jan 26), you need to select a company in your field in which you have an interest. The "Identifying Companies" tab has information about how to 1) identify a company of interest to you, and 2) gather information about the company that will help you fil out the required worksheet.
