Subject Databases
The UWM libraries have access to an incredible amount of information through databases. Some databases cover a wide range of topics; others are more narrowly focused on a specific subject area. The videos to the right offer information for using library databases effectively and considering how references in one source can lead to additional sources. In addition, there are links to some commonly used databases as well as a link to our Databases by Subject page. From there, researchers can choose specific databases to search.
