Andersen Library subscribes to many databases that can be used to find journal, magazine, and newspaper articles, which you can use as long as you are on the UW-Whitewater campus. These are some good ones to start with:
Once you have left campus there are databases you can use through BadgerLink.
Access more online Andersen Library databases by selecting Articles & Databases from the Find menu on any Library webpage. Then do one of the following:
When formulating your search, be thorough by using synonyms and truncation when there are multiple ways to refer to an idea. Be focused by using "and" to combine different ideas together.
Sample search in ScienceDirect College Edition:
"carbon nanotubes" and memory and computer*
sponge* and (oil or grease)
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 button/link to determine whether and where the UWW libraries have it. One of several things will happen when you click on it.
If you have a citation for something UWW does not have access to AND are not in a database or Research@UWW, use the Journals Search (also on the libraries' homepage) to determine whether and where the Library has a particular periodical (journal, magazine, newspaper, etc.). If:
UW-Whitewater has it, click on the link provided to the periodical and then search the periodical for it. UW-Whitewater does NOT have it, go to the library homepage, select My Accounts, and Logon to ILLiad, then fill out the request form.
In the Get It section you will see other ways to access the full text of the article. Either:
UW-Whitewater has the item physically in one of the UWW libraries. If at your campus, you will go to the listed collection to get it. If at the other campus, use the "Request" option to have it sent to your campus. Some people who fit this set of criteria can use ILLiad to have articles or book chapters scanned as a PDFs for you to access online. UW-Whitewater does NOT have the needed item in one of the UWW libraries. Select Please sign in for more request options --> Sign in. Select UW-W Students / Staff Login >, and then Log in. Complete the multifactor authentication through Duo. Click on the We Can Get it for You (Document Delivery/ILLiad) for articles and chapters or UW-Request for books, media, government and other items.
