Welcome to c/effort, the home of effort posts! This is a space where you can write on an topic, as long as it reflects real time and effort to put together.
Rules
Posts are text-only. No images or videos.
2.While the topic can be on anything, posts still require “effort”. While there isn’t a minimum word limit or anything, generally this means it’s longer than most other posts and there’s also that the expectation that your posts required real effort to write up.
“Master” posts that have a lot of links are welcomed.

Yeah I usually end up resorting to Google scholar if I'm looking for a particular paper.
Basically every university has access to EBSCO, JSTOR, Westlaw, Worldcat, or ProQuest or some other database search tool. Usually multiple.
Like I know I have a library science degree but I feel like it's insane that people aren't taught how to use search tools and their importance. I guess Google got pretty good for a couple years there and maybe somehow everyone forgot about everything else? Sad.
I know how to use the other stuff but it used to be so easy to just use the internet instead.
Might be able to use worldcat open access as a tool as well.
