University of Idaho Extension: Home

This guide has been designed for University of Idaho Extension personnel. Here you will find ...

Journal articles available through the library databases

Extension publications from Idaho and many other states

Books in the UI Library plus 37 other academic libraries in the Pacific Northwest

Research reports, statistical data, and other information available provided by the U.S. government

Many other resources available through the UI Library including citation management, data management, geospatial information, and more.

Welcome to our guide for University of Idaho Extension Educators and Researchers. The tabs above will help you navigate the resources included.

We want to make it easy for you to search the vast resources of the UI Library for your own research -- and to create learning opportunities for your community. If you don't find the information you need within this Guide, please contact your liaison librarian, Hanwen Dong hanwendong@uidaho.edu, or the UI Library Reference Desk libref@uidaho.edu.

To use the UI Library's article databases and e-journals from your Extension site, enter your Net ID at the prompt (Vandal email and password).  If you don't know your Net ID, contact ITS (https://help.uidaho.edu/, helpdesk@uidaho.edu, or 208-885-HELP).

If you have problems connecting into the UI Library article databases, it could be as simple as asking your own systems administrator to allow access through a firewall. The system administrator at your site can configure the firewall to allow your computer to communicate with our servers.
