Service Alert
The first step in picking a topic is to brainstorm by asking yourself a few questions. What do you already know about this topic from your course readings? Are there similar ideas that you might want to explore? What are the key concepts that you're interested in pursuing? Once you've spent a bit of time answering these questions, you can take the concepts you've identified and use the keywords and phrases to start searching for information.
Jacobs Library is part of a statewide interlibrary loan system called I-Share. As an IVCC student, you have the opportunity to create an online catalog account and request items from other libraries in this system. If you need assistance with this process, please contact the library service desk or watch the brief tutorial below. All requested items that arrive through the I-Share system will be delivered to the library service desk where they can be checked out with your student ID card.
Check out the video below to learn how to request an item through I-Share.
Note: The login process used in this video is outdated; you will use your IVCC Email account to login to request.
