every now and then i look around for a website that is a well maintained search engine for journals, essays, articles and other general information publications and it seems that almost all are accessible exclusively through colleges/universities. I'm looking for info on international politics, economics, psychology and sociology, anyone have some suggestions for sites that are either free or have a small subscription fee?
