What is your favorite source for academic articles? (Recommend me new ones)

[JimmyCracksCorn]

Mine is jstor.org hands down. Although what blows about it is the PDFs are not searchable. So far I haven't been able to find anything to convert them... but still, their selection is unbeatable. They must have many hundreds of journals in their database.

I use a couple of other ones like Wilsonweb, but they pale in comparison with JSTOR. So which ones do you use for finding academic journal articles, if any? I'd love to hear of a great one I hadn't tried before... maybe my University offers a subscription.

Feel free to partake in what could quite possibly turn into the most boring thread ever

(*waits for thread to die...*)

I admit ignorance in the matter, but are you aware of http://scholar.google.com/ ? I understand it can be quite effective.

What topics are you interested in?

[Asher]

Depends what I'm looking for.

The ACM has a massive library that's quite useful, IBM has a huge intranet library, and I also use Google Scholar.

Well the only ones useful for me and my studies are ones which have ANTH/PSYCH/SOC/HIST/REL articles. But really I'm just interested in what other people use, and if anyone uses JSTOR as well.

I've heard that too... I haven't really been able to put it to good use yet though.

Stopped reading em. Too much bull****. Stopped going to meetings too. Now I'm a hermit when in my lab and I keep my findings to myself.

JSTOR has saved my ass countless times as well.
