Google Scholar

Use to search across many scholarly sources all at once! (Scholar.google.com)

The benefit? It's BIG -- bigger than any of the library databases listed to the left!

The downside? It's sometimes TOO big and overwhelming, and often it will ask you to pay for articles.

DON'T pay for articles!

Watch the video below to see how to connect Google Scholar to UW-Whitewater's subscriptions.

If that still doesn't give you access, you can request items for free via Interlibrary Loan, as also shown in the video below.
