Searching the Library Catalog : Finding Books and Journals at the UW Libraries
The Libraries Catalog contains all of the books, journals, and other materials that the University of Washington Libraries own. You may search by title, author, keyword, or subject. Be careful - subjects of journals are not included in the Catalog. Also, you cannot search for the author or title of an article (for this we use library databases); rather, you must search for the source/journal in which the article appears.

Searching Library Databases : Finding Journal and Newspaper Articles

The library subscribes to databases that let you search for articles in journals and newspapers. These databases are UW Restricted
