Use Search@UW when you want to:
If you want to do a focused search in a particular discipline, choose a database instead. If you want a book that is not owned by UWGB or another UW System Library, use ILLiad to request it.
Search@UW is a great place to start looking for research. It will search across multiple databases at once and our physical collection so your results will contain information from a variety of disciplines. However, it does not contain everything we have access back to.
Try also searching in subject specific databases by navigating to the "Using Databases" page of this guide.
