Welcome!

Library instructional services are available to anyone in the University of Iowa and local area K-12 schools. Librarians are happy to work directly with your class either in your classroom, online, or at the library. We provide instruction on information literacy, using library resources, and a range of specialized topics according to academic discipline.

Students visiting Special Collections & Archives examine a facsimile of "The Scroll of Frolicking Animals," also known as the Chōjū-giga.  A librarian visits a class over Zoom to discuss information literacy.
