In January 2002, the University of Iowa Libraries introduced its link server—linking related content from one information provider to another—using Ex Libris SFX software. Three basic services appeared on day 1 of the link server’s implementation: (1) citation reference linking to full-text electronic journal articles; (2) linking to holdings in the local catalog; and (3) persistent linking to an electronic reference service.

The University of Iowa Libraries’ Information Arcade has embarked on a new electronic publishing project.

Theses and dissertations are the required evidence of scholarship or creative activity for graduate students.

Electronic Theses and Dissertations—or ETDs—hold great promise in providing students with options on how their work might be presented, archived and preserved, and made accessible to a much larger community of readers. The University of Iowa Libraries and Graduate College have …
