Ways to Identify Articles
Business Source Premier - Article Linker
Academic Search Premier - Article Linker
PAIS - Article Linker
IngentaConnect - some full-text
ProQuest Newspapers - full-text
Databases that are linked with Article Linker, allow you to automatically check URSUS for electronic and/or print subscriptions. If you are using an index that does not have full text, and does not use Article Linker, do a JOURNAL search in URSUS, using the name of the journal (not the title of the article) to see if we have access to it in either paper or electronic format.

Should You Use Google?
Sure, but remember it's important to treat Internet resources as you would any other information resource. Critical evaluation of the site is absolutely necessary, i.e. who has made changes to that Wikipedia article, and can you trust that they know what they are talking about. Thinking Critically about World Wide Web Resources, by Esther Grassian, UCLA College Library, can help you evaluate web pages.
