Databases & Indexes at ISU
Databases listed here are basic tools useful for finding journal, magazine, and newspaper articles. The second page of this guide provides more in-depth databases for advance research in HDFS.
This is a good starting place for term papers - to get a basic overview of almost any topic. It also includes short videos and high-resolution art images across all subject areas. Results link out to content in other databases provided by the ISU Library.
Web of Science Core is a database of “core publications” across all disciplines. This database has a cited reference search tool that can be used for searching for a specific item from a citation.
The library's collections and services are available to all ISU students, faculty, and staff and Parks Library is open to the public.
