Articles and databases will be incredibly useful to your research at the University of Iowa. Many of our articles and databases are cataloged through InfoHawk+, but not all of them. To search databases, select your database title or subject area. Each database has a slightly different interface - don't feel like you need to be an expert at them all. Use the help/search tips and you can always ask a librarian! 

Once you have a more specific idea about what you want to research and your potential research questions, you can also go directly to the relevant databases using this link: Databases A-Z.
