“Help!  I need to find information on my topic but I don’t know where to go!”

That is where the Library Staff comes in.  We are information science professionals and can help you find what you are looking for (even when you are not exactly sure what that is).

Give us a call, chat with us online, shoot us an email, or stop by and ask us in person. 

We will help you get the sources you need and will show you how to find the good ones that your instructor wants you to use (since they frown about citing wikipedia as your primary source of information).

Good luck with the writing!  We will be waiting to hear from you if you need us.

And remember, if you need a quiet place to write those papers, just stop by!

google_scholar

Like to search Google?  Who doesn’t!

However, when you are searching for scholarly articles it can be difficult to find them within the Google results (and often you don’t get the full-text of the article).

That’s why the NWTC Library has partnered with Google Scholar to make it easier for you to find “the good stuff” and link to the actual articles.

The next time you are looking for high-quality articles, you have several options.  You can . . .

If you are  off-campus, you need to first click on the Scholar Preferences link next to the search box and search for Northeast Wisconsin Technical College in the Library Links section.  Check the box next to our College’s name and save your preferences to return to the search box.  [You don't need to do this step from on-campus].

Then you simply type in your keywords and Search.  You will get a results list containing scholarly articles on your subject.  Google will also give you a link to the article through NWTC’s Library if we have it available through one of our 15,000 e-journals!
