Why ICO?
ICO’s smaller, stand alone, optometric college atmosphere is very attractive with a sterling reputation and a long, successful history. The ICO Library produces "VisionCite," a vision science journal article citation database that indexes vision science journals, some of which are not indexed by PubMed. "VisionCite" is available via subscription to any vision science professional and institution. ICO Library staff members are awesome and include experienced, dedicated, professional librarians who are eager to help students succeed at ICO.
