AI for Research Papers
 
A recommendation from our Reference Librarians:
 
Are you working on a research paper?
Use the power of AI to find sources! 
 
Iris.ai is a free service you can log into for finding research papers. You can begin by feeding in a title, existing link, or even a YouTube URL. Iris.ai will then comb through all the available resources and present you with a nifty interface you can quickly go through to find a specific document.
