Articles/Databases
There are many databases and print indexes to choose from for your research. Depending on your topic and time period you may have to use an array of resources. Given the inter-disciplinary nature of this area, there is no one source that will give you everything in one. So you will need to be creative. While article databases have grown to include older materials, some important historical period materials may only be accessible in a print index and not available online. An often overlooked resource is the bibliography found at the end of related journal articles or in books on your topic. Google Scholar has helped in making research faster but not always better. Remember to give yourself the needed time to do research.
