Google Scholar finds scholarly sources (e.g., journal articles). Configure it to link to subscription database content.
Google Books finds and describes books; previews may allow searching the text and reading all or portions of it online.

Journal Search searches journal, magazine or newspaper titles to see if there is access online or in other formats.
Note: Licensed resources require a UW-W login (the e-mail/Canvas Net-ID ). The Troubleshooting page may help with difficulties.
