SOURCES of INFORMATION LIBRARIES Libraries are marvelous masses of information, frustrating at first, but exciting as you begin to learn how to use them. I ant to mention a few of the services I've used. Both the Iowa City Library and the University of Iowa Library will be glad to take your recommendations for books and periodicals they should buy. If the university library asks if you're a professor tell them yes. But they will take the recommendation even if you aren't. The public library will borrow a book for you from their associate libraries. The university library specializes in government documents. If you send for something from the government printing office and they don't have it, you can try the government document section which will probably have it. You won't be able to buy it, but at least you'll be able to read it. Dan Cheeseman UNIVERSITY OF IOWA LIBRARY 307 E.
