Articles and More takes you to an A-Z list of databases, an e-Journals link that lets you search only for ejournal titles, a Citation Linker that helps locate articles when you have only a partial citation, and access
to MetaSearch, which lets you search across SOME databases simultaneously.

Shelf of mostly online reference sources.
