Virgo, the UVA Library’s primary search tool, contains catalog records for books, print journals, DVDs, CDs, and digitized materials, as well as links to online articles from some of our subscription journals. You can search catalog materials and articles together, or view those results separately, using the facets provided to limit your results by author, format, publication period, and more.
Google Scholar is a good place to find articles, conference proceedings, and book citations. Make sure to link your account to the University of Virginia Library so that you can access materials that are usually behind a paywall. To narrow down your search results, try using the advanced search option.
