Yeah, got any passes for their archives? Yeah, it's called becoming a member

The annual fee is reasonable, and there are all sorts of discuounts you can apply, e.g. economic hardship, student, etc.

The problem I find is that people who write research papers are generally far from good writers. They are so dry and difficult that I found the contents of them impossible to stick to my mind... That's because they are all writen to supply the bare bones information for specialists in the field. That's why there are scientists and writers who popularise science. Of course, the two groups can overlap

Depends what I'm looking for.

The ACM has a massive library that's quite useful, IBM has a huge intranet library, and I also use Google Scholar.

[Ijkavylo]

I use sciencedirect, I have access through my uni

http://www.sciencedirect.com/science
and
http://www.scirus.com/

I sometimes have a look at Citeseer too, as well as http://www.mathtools.net/

I admit ignorance in the matter, but are you aware of http://scholar.google.com/ ? I understand it can be quite effective.

I use jstor too

...in fact, it's 6.50 AM here and i havent been to bed yet because Ive spent pretty much the whole night looking through jstor papers for my dissertation

I have access to Proquest through my school, as well as a number of (less useful) other databases.

But their articles are really deep. You need some heavy basics to understand them

PUBMED is good.
