TECH TIPS

The Libraries' Information Gateway is the place to begin library research. Resources such as article databases, online reference works, electronic journals and librarian-recommended Web sites help identify good sources of information. There are hundreds of freely available databases available through the Information Gateway, ranging from general article indexes to specialized research collections. An image gateway provides access to millions of images, including KU image collections, licensed image databases and others through the LUNA Insight network. KU ScholarWorks highlights some of the university's important research; faculty can log in to KU ScholarWorks using their KU Online ID to contribute their own work.

NOTABLE ALUMS

James Naismith, the inventor of basketball, is KU's only basketball coach with a losing career record, but two alumni more than made up for it. Dean Smith, a member of the 1952 national championship team, holds the record for most NCAA coaching wins, and Adolph Rupp comes in a close second. Rupp was coached by Naismith.
