Research Mindset Tip
When you think of libraries, you think of books, but what do books make you think of? How about the sharing of ideas across time and space? That's a powerful thing! People who have the opportunity and ability to produce books have a distinct advantage in spreading their ideas. As a reader, it's important to remember the old adage, the person who does not read has no advantage over the person who cannot read.
Lesson - Finding Books (and more) in InfoHawk+
What can InfoHawk+ help me find?
InfoHawk+ searches our physical materials (books, DVDs, etc.). It's the tool you need to use to find a book on the shelf, or an e-book online. Books are only part of what it can find.
It will also search a wide range of electronic resources, including Iowa Research Online, selected major databases in a diverse set of academic disciplines, and items unique to the UI Libraries like those in our Iowa Digital Collections.
