Where should you look for articles?
If you're unsure where to start, ask your professor for help choosing databases appropriate for your topic, or try these options:
Choose databases based on your program. If it has to do with schools, add education databases. If it has to do with businesses, add business databases. Some databases cover a variety of subject areas, while others are more specialized. The Databases by Subject list may help, and/or ask a reference librarian or your instructor. For a complete list of databases, see the Alphabetical List of Databases.
See all of the databases tagged for Political Science.
Full-text access to articles from over 7,000 journals (including nearly 6,000 peer-reviewed journals), magazines, and reference sources.

See databases tagged for Law.
Citations and select full-text for all major law reviews, law journals, and legal newspapers. Coverage of federal and state cases, laws and regulations, legal practice, and taxation.
Federal and state court cases, statutes, & regulations; law reviews & journals; legal research encyclopedias; and some international legal resources, company information, and news.
Most databases have some full text articles and/or chapters in addition to citations. To access the full text there will be a button or text to click on that says something like: PDF, HTML, or Full Text.
When an article is not available in that database, use the 
button/link to determine whether and where the UWW libraries have it. One of several things will happen.
If you are in a database that doesn't provide the button/link, search Research@UWW for the article title and author last names to see if we have it elsewhere. The article record should come up. It will either provide a link to the full text or you will need to sign in to Get a Digital Copy via email.
Alternatively, search for the periodical (journal, magazine, newspaper, etc.) title using the Journals Search (linked from the libraries' homepage) to determine whether and where the Library has a particular periodical. If we have it for the date you need, use a provided link to the online periodical, then search or browse for the article.
