Google Scholar is another good source to locate scholarly articles on your topic.

You can link your PC to AU Libraries to retrieve full-text from Adelphi Libraries Electronic journals and databases. If there is no link to retrieve the full-text of the article or it is not freely available on the internet, check ALICAT to find out whether AU Libraries have the journals in print.
