While not perfect by any means, Google Scholar is a very useful tool for locating articles. It's particularly useful for ferreting out articles on odd and obscure topics, since it indexes the full text for many of the articles listed. Google won't let us use the GET IT button on their screens, so look for the text "Get It @ K-State." If you are off-campus and want to see the GET IT links (who wouldn't?), go to Scholar Preferences to set K-State as your home institution.
