what is a good website/search engine for academic research?

[Phokus]

I'm trying to do research for a paper that includes such topics as 'investor risk in developing countries' and 'business applications for optical character recognition and bar coding'. When i use google, i get too many results from commercial pages. I need stuff from more academic pages and business journals, but only a few of those pages are showing up. Anyone got any good links i could use?

try using your library resources online. most universities (if this applies) subscribe to online services that compile journal articles either in full text or in abstract and those are typically good places to start.

Yeah i was going to do that but i like to do research at home and i know they restrict access to only on campus computers. *sigh*

Your local LARGE library that has a web site should have similar online database as that on campus.
