Automated Searches & Alerts

Automated table of contents and topical searches can be set up in most online databases so that you receive citations via e-mail on a weekly basis. For assistance setting up automated searches, contact Beth Wohlgemuth.

Computing at INHS Library

The following wireless networks are now available in the INHS Library.

The INHS Library has 3 public terminals with internet access, and access to UIUC licensed resources. Software includes Internet Explorer, Firefox, Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and accessibility programs including ZoomText and Narrator. All are welcome to use the public terminals, no logon is required.
