IRIS identifies items in the library and will point you to their location. IRIS includes books, journals, magazines, newspapers, videos, music, government documents, images, and more. It also links to online journals and article indexes that the Rutgers University Libraries buy.

You won't, however, find periodical articles by topic in IRIS. You'll need to use an article index to identify articles by topic.

• to find out what books, etc., the library owns on your topic
• to find where a specific item is located in the library
