Research@UWW contains information about physical holdings at libraries in the UW System, such as books, videos, and government documents. For each item at either UW-Whitewater campus library it also provides the call number and location (collection) which are needed to find the item.
The catalog also has information about some--but not all--of the journal, magazine, and newspaper articles the libraries subscribe to. To find more of such periodical articles, see the Find Articles section of this guide.
To access the catalog, search in the Research@UWW box, the large box in the center of the libraries' homepage.

Sample keyword searches:
"set design"
"set design" AND theater*
