EDPOL 113: Milwaukee Community: How do I find articles?

Finding Articles in the Library

There are several possibilities for obtaining articles you have identified through searching:

  • Some databases will provide the “full text” of the article online.
  • If the full text is not available, click on the Get It link.

The menu may link to other library databases that provide the full text (click on the red "GO" button).

If not, click on the “Check for Call Numbers” link to see if the library has a print copy of the journal.

If the UWM Libraries does not have an article you need in either print or online format, request it through Interlibrary Loan.
