Databases for Finding Scholarly Sources:

This video is a brief introduction to the scholarly and popular sources you will come across while researching. What are they and how do you know what to use for your assignment?

You can search the library website for books and other materials and request them for pick up at the library.

UIS Library is also a member of I-Share, which means our students can request materials available at other Illinois colleges and universities. Watch this short video to learn more about how to search and request materials.
