Have you looked at electronic archives?

(From T.H.E. Journal, Feb. 2003). JSTOR, a nonprofit organization that maintains an electronic archive of 322 peer-reviewed academic journals in 26 disciplines is now offering its resources to secondary schools nationwide. Containing only peer-reviewed academic literature, JSTOR addresses the growing concerns about the quality of information students are finding on the Internet and using as the basis of research for their schoolwork. High schools can license access to all of JSTOR's six collections: Arts & Sciences I and II, Business, Ecology and Botany, General Science, and Language and Literature.
