About Database Trials
UW students, staff and faculty have temporary access to databases that are on trial. Because funding for these databases is limited we need your feedback to decide which databases are the most important for us to add to our collection. Please send your comments to the email addresses given with each database.
Access: All database trials are available within the libraries. Those databases that include the lock icon are also accessible off campus to current UW students, staff and faculty. Be sure to use the off-campus access button in the upper right of the page before connecting to these databases from off campus.
