Full Research@UWW Search Box

Research@UWW

Purpose

In addition to searching Research@UWW, you are encouraged to search some individual databases (collections) in order to find additional articles and other sources on your research topic. This is because only some of the content (articles, ebooks, data, etc.) from our databases can be found in Research@UWW. You will likely find more information by searching in multiple places.

Search for Articles @ UWW

Research at U W W Articles search button

Use this box to quickly search Research@UWW for articles at UW-Whitewater.

Databases by Subject

Andersen Library subscribes 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 databases the library has contain legal cases, business information, and more. Online databases and Research@UWW are two ways to find recent articles. If you need older articles, or cannot find any articles on your topic using Research@UWW or online databases, Ask a Librarian in person, over the phone, by email, or through chat for assistance. Databases and Research@UWW list articles that may or may not be owned by the Library. Databases, Research@UWW, and the full text content they contain can be accessed both on and off-campus.

Library Databases

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 you cannot find useful articles on your topic using Research@UWW or online databases, Ask a Librarian in person, over email, or via online chat and text.

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, then use Duo Mobile.

Databases and Research@UWW list articles that may or may not be owned by the UWW libraries. If you see a Find It button, select it to either immediately access the full text article or order a copy of the article via interlibrary loan.

Below are a few databases you may wish to search individually. Find more by selecting the Articles/Databases button on the box on the Library homepage and choosing a subject or database name.

We encourage you to use the Advanced Search for its ease of searching for multiple concepts at once. Sample basic search: 

hooligan* AND (ireland OR irish*) AND (football OR soccer)

ireland AND ("celtic tiger" OR "the boom" OR "economic miracle") AND theatre

Off-Campus Access

Databases and the full text content they contain can be accessed both on and off-campus.

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: 

  1. Use the most recent version of Chrome, Firefox, or Safari browser (Edge and Internet Explorer can cause access problems)
  2. Use Citrix (step by step instructions) from this webpage: https://gateway.uww.edu
  3. Use the VPN (Virtual Private Network). Want to watch a video on VPN? See http://youtu.be/hE-f8-Zp7jU

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.
