Looking for articles online?

Google is great for looking for web sites, but you WON'T find many articles through Google. Why? Because the publishers of journals, magazines and newspapers aren't going to give too much away for free. Instead, they sell their articles to the sorts of "article databases" libraries subscribe to (for big bucks!), like Academic Search Premier.
