Here’s what Wisconsin’s community members say about BadgerLink resources:
When I was teaching, I used BadgerLink regularly to gain access to professional journals like Educational Leadership and The Reader Teacher to read articles about the latest research in educational practice.

In retirement I do a tremendous amount of research which I love. I use BadgerLink to assist me in knowing where to go and what is available. Without it, my attempts to find information would be severely limited.

I have used BadgerLink for our Historical Society in Fox Lake Wisconsin to help with researching individuals from the 1850's-1900's in our community. It has helped us with several presentations on historic citizens from the time period above and I’m currently engaged in finding out more information on our G.A.R. Post in Fox Lake through using BadgerLink. It has been a fantastic resource to help with research for our Historical Society. Erin at the Fox Lake Public Library has encouraged me to use Newspapers.com Library Edition World Collection to help get a broad range of research. Since I travel a lot for work, having access outside of normal library hours has been instrumental in our research. This source is key in our Historical Society finding out more about those that lived in our community many years ago.

Our family has introduced BadgerLink resources to our children to help them complete school assignments. It was wonderful to be able to start the kids off right in the library and then have them continue to work online in the databases when we went home. This was incredibly useful too during the COVID 19 pandemic when school was shut down and we were supplementing resources at home. There are BadgerLink databases custom to different age levels including youngsters but also youth working at the high school level. We value BadgerLink.
We have worked with our City of Milwaukee public library to get information about how to locate BadgerLink and other library databases while present, on-site. However, staff have helped us navigate what to do when we leave the library and how to continue getting access. We thank them!
