Welcome
This is a tab with specialized resources for you and your project. Several ICC projects require research into the technology discipline (different from information technology, keep in mind; that's a couple tabs over). Here you'll find tips on searching for construction, recycling, and sustainability data.
Feel free to email the technology librarian, Chris Worland (cjworla@ilstu.edu) or contact the library reference desk for help or more questions.
