Lastly, If I'm looking for research papers, case studies, etc, I've yet to find a better search engine than Google Scholar. But unfortunately, much of that information is behind paywalls. Which is a whole nother problem that desperately needs addressing.
Hi Mike! While libraries are still not allowing interlibrary loans because of the continuing pandemic, the Multnomah County library used to reach out to other libraries (many at universities) for scanned copies of scientific journal articles not directly available from MultCoLib. I've not had need for this service since the pandemic started I don't know if it's still a viable source for reseasrch, but it might well be. At a minimum, access to periodicals to which the library subscribes should still work. Another alternative is Research Gate <http://www.researchgate.net/>. Often an article is available for download from the site, otherwise you can send the contact author a request for a copy from the site's web site. I've had requests for copies of my pubished research via reserch net and have sent them to the requestors. Stay well, Rich
