Wisconsin National Guard

Library Search Strategies

The Library Catalog (formerly MadCat) provides the most comprehensive method of accessing information about Library holdings related to the Wisconsin National Guard. Generally, the most productive search strategy is to conduct a "guided search" with Wisconsin as the first term combined with any of the following terms or phrases: national guard, militia, adjutant general, or military affairs. 

The Library's holdings are so extensive that some searches may produce a pool of results too large to review. When this happens, add a second or third term or phrase to your initial search as a way to produce more limited results. For similar reasons, no one search will be comprehensive. Try variations on your initial search to see additional results
