If you have found (or been given) a book or article that is very relevant for your topic, review the list of references (the sources used by the authors). Some of these cited works may be helpful to you also. To find cited books or articles, where you look depends on what it is:

Is it a book (or book chapter or government document or videorecording)?

• Search Research@UWW's "Books, Media & more (UW Whitewater)" for the title or author. To find a chapter in a book, look for the BOOK's title. Put titles in quotes, as for a phrase, e.g., "war and peace"
• Search other UW libraries using Research@UWW's "Books, Media & more (UW System)" for the title or author. If it's at another UW library you may be able to request that it be sent to your UW-Whitewater campus library for your use.

Is it an article (in a journal, magazine, or newspaper)?

• Search Research@UWW "Everything" and put all or part of the article title in " " as a phrase. If there are too many results, add limiters on the left, such as date or select Resource Type Articles. You can also add the author's last name to the search.
• Use the Journal Search for a particular journal, magazine or newspaper's title. UW-Whitewater's libraries have access to thousands of titles, some online and some not. Check the dates for which full text access is provided, if this is displayed.

The "How to Borrow from Other Libraries" guide explains how to get materials unavailable online or in Andersen/Lenox (Rock campus) libraries.
