Holy hell, horrendously horrible site to look for articles. It's search engine completely sucks in my opinion.

Like wow, how can you utterly fail so hard at developing a search engine to look for articles. I hate the fact one of my college professors is so goddamn adamant about using it to print articles for free that we need to read on a weekly basis for class to write essays over.

Ugh, If ANYONE has a better, more thorough, website for college articles then it is greatly appreciated because there is just no way around it: Proquest.com completely sucks. It is fact, I don't care if you have a different opinion on the matter, I'm too upset to care right now. It is FACT as far as I'm concerned.

Horrible website. Ugh...

So yeah, any help in finding a superior one is appreciated. xD

I tried google but it mostly results in books of the articles we have to read... which you have to pay for and wait for shipping. With Proquest you can print them out for free to read for college and is apparently sponsered by several different colleges around the U.S. to my understanding.

I'm asking if there's a better one with a superior search engine because I can no longer stand this site. It's making me too upset and trying my very thin patience since it takes almost two hours for me to find the articles I need. It's annoying, it's slow, it's not very well-organized, and I hate it.

So yeah, ALL help is very much appreciated. Even something like different search techniques on google. Anyway, thanks for your time, hope this results in my favor and I'm gonna go eat a delicious sandwich because I haven't eaten all day. Please respond if you think you can offer any help. :D

http://www.jstor.org is my best friend, i must say. Better than Academic Search Premier by a good space, in that i tend to find a lot more articles that are actually there (full text) through jstor, and you can sift by discipline if you know what you're doing (so that you could temper a search for Falkland Islands, and come up with stuff about its disputed status between Britain and Argentina, and not articles relating to their flora and fauna and such)

Ultimately, it's best to find custom sources for the specific discipline (or better yet, the specific subject) you're looking through. My college has a good list of them, and perhaps yours might as well. My Russian Politics professor has directed me to miraculous stuff regarding sources for articles on post-Soviet developments.

jstor is awesome but you have to be able to acces it through your schools subscription. Most large educational centres have acces though.

I personally prefer scholar.google.com. I dunno if that is what you meant by google but I personally find it working rather well, better then our schools database much to the chagrin of my professors.

Thanks. xD

My schools database is great. I have yet to actually need to look anywhere else for my papers. Of course I have used other places for info before, but those where just loose random things from official websites.
