About the Rod Library BizBlog
Welcome! The purpose of the Rod Library BizBlog is to communicate with UNI College of Business Administration students, faculty, and others about library research tools, tips, and research news related to their major fields of study and research.
I will periodically post entries about new resources or new features of resources that have been around a while. If I notice the same questions being asked regularly, I may post entries that make suggestions or give tips on how to address the questions. Such postings are intended to point students in the right direction, not do the assignment for them. Students are responsible for making sure they understand their own assignments. Students and faculty are invited to contact me if they would like an entry on some particular topic or search technique.
How to use the Rod Library BizBlog? Entries are arranged from new to old. They also are arranged by categories on the right side of the screen. To see whether there is an entry on some particular topic, use the “Search this blog” box on the right side of the screen.
Want to IM me a question about a blog entry or about finding information on some topic? Use the Ask Me Now box on the right side of the screen OR the IM client you customarily use. I will answer if I happen to be working in my office. You may wish to leave a message for me or instead use the Rod Library chat or email service for research assistance. The chat service is available more hours of the day than I am in my office. You also can call the reference desk (319-273-2838), stop by, or make an appointment with me or other librarians for an individual or team research consultation.
