Library Resources Require passwords when accessing from off campus. The log in information is the same as your Iowa Lakes Username and Password.
Researchers write articles about their research and then publish them in Academic Journals. Then these Journals are available through Databases that the library purchases for your use.
Anyone can publish on the internet. They may or may not know their topic. In order to publish in a Journal, you must be an expert and meet specific standards in your area of expertise.
This means that you can trust what you read in a Journal Article.
