        FIND A BOOK   

UNISTAR - The UNI Rod Library Catalog - is used to locate the books, journals (but not articles), and sound and video recordings found in this library. UNISTAR - can be used to access or identify materials placed on reserve by an instructor.
UNISTAR - offers Interlibrary Loan - a service that allows students and faculty to order both books and articles not owned by the Rod Library. OhioLink and Mobius - the shared catalogs of many libraries in Ohio and Missouri respectively, can be used to find books on soils not owned by the Rod Library.  These systems will often search the titles of book chapters.  Use Interlibrary Loan via UNISTAR.

Water for Tonoumassee
"During the long, dry season in the south of Togo, West Africa, a woman's day began at 1:00 am with an eight-hour trek for water. Unknown to her, the water so arduously collected was contaminated. Water for Tonoumasse shows the efforts of a group of villagers to get clean water by drilling a well nearby. It chronicles the success of this project in which the women played a key role. To the surprise of the village men, the women were capable of making decisions, handling money, and learning the mechanics of keeping a pump in working order."
