Subject listings in the UW Libraries collections are useful for finding information organized around a specific topic. Performing a subject search can often find more specific results than a generalized "keyword" search.
On the UW Libraries homepage, enter a subject in the QuickSearch box and press enter. On the search results page, click on Advanced Search to the right of the search box. in the Advanced Search window, select "KEYWORD" and "CONTAINS EXACT PHRASE" and then click on Search.
One way to locate an journal or periodical article is to do a search for the title in the QuickSearch box on the UW libraries' home page. Place the article title in double quotation marks to search as an exact phrase (to reduce the number of false hits in the results list). You may only need to search on the first few words if the title appears to be fairly unique. Omit any subtitles (i.e., words following a colon) as those words do not always get indexed as part of the title in the article record (i.e., in the metadata).
Example:
If you are unable to locate the article using this approach, try searching for the journal title and/or article using the eJournal search method. If it appears that the UW Libraries' collection does not include the desired article/journal, an InterLibrary Loan request can be submitted.
A primary source is an item like a diary, map, data, first-person event account, or anything else that provides a perspective from the time it was created.
A secondary source is an item like a peer-reviewed journal or anything that analyzes primary sources. A secondary source usually pulls together information from other secondary sources as well as primary sources.
