I think I am an idiot. I have been doing database searches for articles for a class project and I have thus been unable to find articles that are a) relevant to my variable and b) available without paying for it. There have to be more than what I am finding, so I think I are doing it badly wrong.

It's too bad you don't know any librarians, Aims.

Yeah, standing right here!

What's the question, where are you searching, and what search terms are you using, and what are you not finding that you need?

I know. It totally sucks the vacuum of non-librarians that are known to me.

YAY!! My sad plea for help was heard!

I need to find articles from the past 5 years that show how religion can affect the classroom experiences and academic acheivements of k-12 students in the US, specifically Muslim students. I have found 3 articles that I really want, but can't get them without paying for them. I've been using headscarves, muslim, classrooms, public schools as search terms.

What databases do you have non-pay access to? ERIC? Academic Search Complete?

Also, I'ma get on gmail as casperflea if you want to take this to chat.

ERIC is where I found the ones I want, but they don't have full access to them. It's like a big database tease.

I'm aimee(dot)daisyscouts.

I have ERIC with full-text. Send me cites, and I would never do anything like email you pdfs that would violate the terms of my institution's licensing agreement.
