“No centralized edited free index exists for law review articles and other scholarly materials. The subscription/commercial alternatives include LegalTrac from Gale and the Index to Legal Periodicals and Books database from the H.W. Wilson Company, both of which may be accessible for use when visiting a law library. Use a free database such as Google Scholar to generate search results from relevant journals and books for materials that exist on the web.
Google Scholar will link to online items that are free and many that exist behind a pay wall. One of the advantages of Google Scholar is that it automatically limits search results to academic or scholarly materials. There are no results for general web material, commercial sites, and no ads. Free items should be available through the provided link. Content that requires payment for view will at least include a snippet from the results, a list of authors, a citation to the document, and a link to its source if purchasing the document is an option.”
