Empower is a good general tutorial on conducting research--it is especially helpful for students new to research, or students new to the university.

 Starting Your Research

As an inspiration to creative design development,  the library maintains a number of electronic sources which access images of current fabrics and trends. Also available are a number of magazine subcriptions, both foreign and domestic, which have been selected for their illustrative content. Of course, the circulating book collection with its emphasis on unique source material should also be reviewed for appropriate images.
