Research@UWW is a good starting point for finding books, reports, peer-reviewed articles and more; however, you may find more focused results with specific subject databases in education.
Below are some suggested tools to begin your search. Visit A-Z Databases: Education for a complete list of databases available through Andersen Library.
Offering full text of journals, books, videos, and education-related conference papers, as well as millions of citations. Coverage spans all levels of education from early childhood to higher education and includes specialties such as multilingual education, health education and testing.
The world's largest source of education information. More than 950,000 abstracts of documents and journal articles on education research and practice, some linking out to full text.
Academic journals, reports, and reference sources in the field of education, including administration, bilingual education, child development and psychology, funding, health education, technology, and testing.
A discovery tool for most of the Library's articles, books, multimedia, and digital repositories.
A bigger search tool than any of the library's databases, containing scholarly articles, books, and theses in all subject areas. Some citations and some full-text.

While Google Scholar does not provide the wide variety of search limiters available in other databases, you may find that you are able to locate that elusive article through a Scholar search.
If you are working off campus and searching Google Scholar, you may find that Google asks you to pay for many articles. Don't pay! Follow these steps to activate FIND IT at UW Whitewater in Google Scholar. If you are working on campus using UW-W Wi-Fi services, or using UW-W VPN services from off campus, your computer should automatically detect these settings.

Even if we don't have a subscription to that particular article, request it for FREE via Interlibrary Loan. It takes a few days, but usually the article PDF can be sent to you from another library that subscribes.
NO! Google Scholar does not interlink with all UW-W ebooks and articles. We strongly encourage that you search for books, media and more using the library catalog (Research@UWW), or search for specific journal subscriptions using the Journals search. We also recommend that you search individual, subject-specific databases as well as Google Scholar to find the best available sources of information on your topic.
