Research Help

RedLightGreen   (A nationwide book search engine that accesses summaries as well as titles and authors.  It is useful for finding books that may be worth borrowing from other research libraries; results are prioritized in terms of importance in their field.  If you register, it will also always let you check your local library. )

(Note: You will want to save your work on the worksheets for your end-of-semester portfolio. If you are properly logged-on to through an IUP computer, you should be able to work in MSWord and save your answers; alternately you can choose the web version, then cut and paste this work into your research blog. Ask for help if you need it!)
