Each fall and spring semester, we offer workshops to help you learn various research skills as well as bibliography management software tools, including EndNote Basic, Mendeley, and Zotero. Click the link above to take you to the University Library Calendar page for dates and pre-registration.
Getting Started with Research
This resource provides a few helpful links to help get you started. If you have research questions, be sure to ask me or another subject librarian for help, or ask at the Circulation Desk. You can also use the library's chat tool.
Find a wide range of books, articles, and other resources the library owns through the main search tool, Quick Search, found at the top of the ISU Library website.
Subject-specialist librarians have pulled together resources for specific classes. Use these to learn tips and gain easy access to relevant research tools and materials in your subject areas.
The library has a wide range of technology tools to help make your life easier. Click the link for details about public computers, software, printing (5 cents per page), free scanning, and equipment available in the Library for you to use.
Do you have a computer problem? Having issues with your ISU NetID (login) or password? The Solution Center can help; they are located in the Library in the lobby near the café.
Hungry? Thirsty? Need a break? No need to stop studying - just drop by the Library's Bookends Café! You'll find the best coffee and treats on campus here!
Here you will find just about everything you ever wanted to know about borrowing materials or using library spaces. This includes checkout policies, renewals, recalls, searches, and more.
