a. iConn is a huge database. You will need your library barcode number to get into this database.

You can search at one time:

• 25 million full-text popular & scholarly articles
• newspapers
• business information on 450,000 companies
• health information
• over 400 Connecticut library catalogs ("reQuest")
• and more

b. 10 reasons to go to www.iconn.org.
iConn is access to magazines, journals, and newspapers for extensive information on health questions, genealogy, resources for schoolwork, business information, and science. Libraries and citizens in Connecticut have access to magazines online from home or in the library. It would be prohibitive costwise if libraries subscribed individually to this database.

c. Want to know what to read next? Go to www.iconn.org or click on iConn on our webpage menu. Enter your library barcode number. Scroll down to "What Do I Read Next?" This is on the bottom of the list. Click on it and follow directions. Enjoy!
