If you don’t have the money to pay for a fee-based access online library then you can also use one of the many free online libraries that are available for public access.
FindArticles.com
One of my favorite free online libraries is FindArticles.com. This site offers you a search engine that scans over one million articles. You can select to narrow your search by only free articles or you can expand you search to include those articles that require a third party membership at an online data base service.
In addition to a general search engine search you can also browse by subject or by publication. For example you can browse through magazines by topics such as: Arts and Entertainment, Automotive, Business and Finance, Computers and Technology, Health and Fitness, Home and Garden, News and Society, Reference and Education, and Sports.
Finally this site also provides users with helpful tools. First you can save articles that you are viewing to your own personal findarticles.com web page for quick retrieval in the future. You can also click on the print icon and print out an entire article. This is particularly helpful if your professor requires you to bring in a copy of the articles that you have used in your paper.
Jewish Virtual Library
In addition to general research online libraries there are also many cultural online libraries that can provide you with unique materials and references that are not available on other sites or at other physical libraries. One such online library is the Jewish Virtual Library. This specialized online library hosts 10,000 articles and 5,000 photographs and maps. The library is divided into 13 "wings": history, women, the Holocaust, travel, Israel and the States, Maps, politics, biography, Israel, religion, Judaic treasures of the Library of Congress, vital statistics, and reference.
One special feature of this online library is that it offers an educational tool called the Virtual Israel Experience. This tool allows users to virtually visit Jewish communities in Israel and other parts of the world, and learn about the history of Judaism, and explore current issues and events that impact the Jewish faith.
Small Business Administration Library
Government websites also are a good place to look for online databases and libraries. The Small Business Administration offers a library of reference materials, forms, and business development tools free of charge to the public. This site provides:
E-books and publications;
Business magazines and resource links;
Current business news;
Access to the SCORE Learning Center;
Online Reading Room containing materials relating to business laws and regulations;
