Google Scholar: Also an option!

While I wouldn't recommend Google Scholar for finding primary sources, it can be a great place to look for secondary sources (journal articles, book chapters, presentations, and more) if you aren't certain where to start.

Google Scholar
Enables you to search Google specifically for scholarly literature. Fast and easy resource, but remember that it is not comprehensive and may not be the best choice for some disciplines.
