Alumni Research Resources

Library resources uniquely available to ISU alumni.

Do some preliminary searching before your visit

Go ahead and try out Quick Search and zip around in the e-Library website to locate information on your topic in advance of your visit. This will save you time once you get to campus. If you require materials located in the Storage Building, you may want to request they be delivered to the Parks Library ahead of time.
