Electric Library (http://www.elibrary.com).   This is a good site but this one will cost a little bit..  $60.00 a year.   This one has access to a lot of newspapers and magazines that sometimes will require a normal user to pay a subscription to.  This site has excellent search options and will save lots of time as far as that is concerned.
