Does the library offer translation services?

Answer

The ISU Library does not provide translation services.

Google Translate can translate both webpages and uploaded documents. While not completely accurate it is quick and free. Newer smart phones can live translate on the fly using the Google Translate app and your phone's camera.

Alternatively, researchers wanting translations can check with the relevant academic department offices to see if there is anyone who can translate a particular language for them. For example, if you have a chemical journal article in Russian the Chemistry Department may have faculty or graduate students who read Russian and are willing to translate it for you. The Foreign Languages Department may also know of individuals who are willing to provide translations.
