The UWW libraries subscribe to many databases that can be used to locate periodical (journal, magazine, and newspaper) articles, as well as book chapters, dissertations, and the like. Other library databases contain legal cases, business information, and more. Online databases and Research@UWW are two ways to find recent articles. If cannot find useful articles on your topic using Research@UWW or online databases, Ask a Librarian.
The libraries' databases and Research@UWW can be used on and off campus 24 hours a day. You will be prompted to enter your Net-ID and password to gain access.
Databases and Research@UWW list articles that may or may not be owned by the UWW libraries. In library databases you will usually see a Find It button that will lead you either to the full text article or to an option for using ILLiad to interlibrary loan the article.
Below are a few databases you may wish to search individually. Find more by selecting the Articles/Databases button on the big box on the Library homepage, then choosing a subject on the left side or Databases A-Z on the right side to get lists of databases.
Sample search in library databases:
"turn of the screw" AND henry AND james
"turn of the screw" AND james AND (wom* OR female* or gender*)

The first time you click on a database name, you'll be prompted to log into the proxy server with your UW-W Net-ID and password (just like you do to access your UW-W email, WINS account, and Canvas courses). After a while of non-use you will be timed out. Just sign in again.
If you have issues logging in or accessing online full text articles and books, please check the Troubleshooting section of our Get Help page for known issues. The three most common solutions are:
Note: Research@UWW does not require that you sign in at first. However, you should sign in anyway after your first search for seamless access to more full text and to Request/UW Request borrowing.
