Introduction to LIS Research
How to Begin Your Search
Begin your search for information by familiarizing yourself with the available resources. The best place to begin is the UW Libraries website, which provides access to the Libraries Catalog, article databases and full-text resources, electronic journals, and web resources. The website is designed to be the entrée to information held by the UW Libraries and beyond.
Online vs. Print Resources
Although it is increasingly possible to obtain a great deal of information through online systems, some scholarly research is still available only in printed format. And while you can identify articles important to your research through online databases, you may still need to trek to the Libraries to find the actual item.
