  • SMEAL Search: Academic Business Literature Digital Library
    http://smealsearch2.psu.edu/index.html/
    This is a specialized Web search engine that searches and indexes academic business documents that are in either PDF or PostScript (PS) formats.  A     citation analysis is performed on academic articles accessed and  the most cited articles are listed first. Although articles available through the SMEALSearch engine can be downloaded (for fair use) without any charges, some articles may have only the abstracts listed; therefore, check the UW Libraries Catalog to determine holdings.  See a Reference Librarian for assistance.
