If your topic involves non-legal issues, such as economics (for business or tax topics), sociological or psychological (for family law topics) or medical (tort, liability, health law topics), start in multi-disciplinary database, such as Academic Search Complete or JSTOR. You may want to start with a keyword search and then look at promising articles for subject headings or descriptors and use those in your later searches.
These databases will provide access to full-text for some of the articles. See Locating Articles tab for how to find articles without full-text links.

Search Google Scholar for articles on any subject. You will find some links to full-text through Hofstra databases.
