High School: Science: Home

This list of resources has been compiled for high school students visiting the UW-Whitewater to do library research on science topics. These are not the only resources which can be used for completing college level research projects, but are rather suggested as starting points.

If you are ready to jump right in, here are the main places to start:

• Research@UWW - Find "Everything" (articles, books, & more)
  This discovery tool searches multiple resources simultaneously (articles from many disciplines, books, ebooks, videos, digital resources, government documents, etc.), or you can change from searching "Everything" to only "Articles" or just our local resources (not articles), i.e., UWW's books, media, government documents, and more.
• A-Z Databases List
  Online research databases available through the Library. Search these resources to find articles and other information on your topic, primarily in journals, magazines, and newspapers. Databases are available via the alphabetical listing, or sorted by broad subject area using the drop-down menus at the top.
• Google Scholar
  Google Scholar can help you find both books and articles, but if you use Google Scholar from off campus, configure the settings to use Andersen Library's full text subscription access.
• Journals
  Use this search to find out whether the Library owns a particular journal, magazine, or newspaper, as well as the dates and formats available. Search by periodical title, as opposed to article title.
