| Creating a Search Strategy |
1. State your topic idea as a question
2. Identify the main concepts or keywords in your question
3. Try to think of synonyms or alternate forms of a term or related terms for each concept.
4. Use Boolean Operator AND, OR or NOT to connect the search terms.

| Finding books |
Books in UWP library
Use the Library Catalog to find books owned by the UWP library. Use one of the catalog's keyword search options. Then look at the subject headings used in the records you retrieve. Is there one that describes what you're looking for? If so, click on it to find other books on your topic.
E-book:
netLibrary
Knovel Scientific and Engineering Databases (Science/Engineering E-books)
UW System Search:
UW System Search/Universal Borrowing (UB) allows you make arrangements yourself to borrow materials from other UW libraries. All of the 13 UW libraries participate in this program. UB is built on the idea that the UW System libraries together are now one virtual library.
Using the UWP library catalog, you can simultaneously search other UW libraries to determine if the item you want is available. Simply select the "Multi Library Search" link at the top of our library's catalog and conduct your search. If the item is available from another UW library, you can complete an online request form, which will be transmitted directly to the owning library. The owning library will retrieve the material and send it to the UWP library. A courier service runs between the UW libraries five days a week and delivers the requested materials. You can use the UB service to request books and A/V materials, however, requests for periodical articles should still go through the regular interlibrary loan process.

Books in other libraries
1. To find out about books available in libraries worldwide, use WorldCat.
2. To find out about books available in Wisconsin public and academic libraries including but not limited to the UW System, use BadgerCat.
If you find an item you'd like to have, look to see who owns it by clicking on the Wisconsin Libraries link. If another UW library owns it, request it through UW System Search (see above for instructions). If a public library or academic library outside of the UW system owns it, simply request a copy through Interlibrary Loan (remember, it will take longer to receive items through ILL than through UW System Search!).
Both WorldCat and BadgerCat have special features including the ability to limit to specific format types (books, visual materials, etc.) by marking the checkboxes in the limit type to: area of the search screen.
- Interlibrary loan
Before placing an interlibrary loan request, you should:
1. Check the UW-Parkside library catalog to be sure the materials are not owned by the university
2. Check that the books, DVDs, CDs and videos are NOT available through UW System Search
3. Check UWP Periodicals List to make sure that we do not have access to the journal or newspaper, either in print or full-text online

| Locating articles |
-
- ACS Journals contains the full text of 35 American Chemical Society journals. List of Periodicals Indexed .Though not technically an index, it does provide subject access to the contents of these journals. Users may browse individual issues by the tables of contents or search by the name of the author or words in the titles of articles within a single journal or all journals.
- UWP Periodicals List
- SciFinder Scholar
Use SciFinder Scholar to find scholarly articles dealing with all aspects of chemistry, and information on chemical substances and reactions. SciFinder also indexes patents, book chapters, and meeting abstracts in the field of chemistry. SciFinder Scholar is the most comprehensive bibliographic database for chemistry. It contains over 21 million citations, and indexes over 8,000 journals. It is the electronic version of Chemical Abstracts. Coverage: 1907 - present.
SciFinder Scholar is not available through the Library's proxy server. In library, on campus access only.
- SciFinder Scholar How To Guides
Guides provide step-by-step search examples. Topics include: Exploring by Research Topic, Author Name, Chemical Structure, Substructure, Structure Similarity, Molecular Formula, and Reaction.
