Hardin Library Open House
\n<\/span><\/b>Come celebrate National Medical Librarians Month with us on October 17, 2013 from 11:30am \u2013 1:30pm at the 3rd<\/sup> floor service desk.\u00a0 We\u2019ll have free refreshments, novelty clocks, and the opportunity for tours of our fascinating building.\u00a0 You might just find out if Hardin Library is haunted. I can’t tell you, but there may be an answer on our trivia display.<\/p>\n

This display can be found on the third floor of Hardin Library between the service desk and 24 hour study area. This display will be up through the end of October.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

10 Ways that Hardin Library Can Save You Time<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Hardin Open Workshops<\/a> \u2013 Learn some new skills in our free 1 hour classes.\u00a0 If the time doesn\u2019t work for you or you\u2019d like to schedule a special session for a group, feel free to contact us<\/a>. We\u2019re very flexible.<\/li>\n
  2. Interlibrary Loan<\/a> \u2013 Don\u2019t settle for an article or book that isn\u2019t exactly what you need for your research. If the University of Iowa doesn\u2019t have the material you need, we can order it from another library. This service is free to our affiliates.<\/li>\n
  3. Document Delivery<\/a> \u2013 Do we have something you need, but you can\u2019t leave your office? Maybe it\u2019s too cold to trek across the river to another library. Don\u2019t worry. We can send library materials straight to your office. If you need an article, we will scan the material and email you the PDF.<\/li>\n
  4. Subject Guides<\/a> \u2013 Did you know that Hardin librarians have created subject specific guides to put many of the resources you need (databases, books, journals, etc.) all in one convenient location? We don\u2019t want the research process to be as easy as possible.\u00a0 We\u2019re also happy to take suggestions if you know of something that\u2019s missing from a guide.<\/li>\n
  5. Electronic Books<\/a> \u2013 Many of our textbooks are available online, 24\/7 both on-campus and off-campus (as long as you have a Hawk ID and password).<\/li>\n
  6. Electronic Journals<\/a> \u2013 Most of our journals are available online, 24\/7 both on-campus and off-campus (as long as you have a Hawk ID and password).<\/li>\n
  7. High Powered Databases<\/a> \u2013 Don\u2019t waste your time sifting through hundreds of thousands of links from a search engine. Many of our databases offer point of care information or specialized filters to get you the information you need quickly.\u00a0 And, Hardin Librarians can teach you the most efficient ways to search these databases.<\/li>\n
  8. Mobile Resources<\/a> \u2013 Hardin Library supports a wide variety of apps with health sciences information.\u00a0 We can also help you download apps to your mobile device.<\/li>\n
  9. One on One Consultations<\/a> \u2013 Are you struggling to find the information you need? Do you need help using EndNote or RefWorks? Hardin Librarians can meet with you by phone, email, chat, or in person. We can even come to your office!<\/li>\n
  10. Personalized Library Liaisons<\/a> \u2013 Hardin Library has different liaisons assigned to different departments so that we can better serve your needs.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    National Medical Librarians Month Contest <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n
