My favorite way to search for scholarly sources is to start out at http://scholar.google.com.
In addition to searching on the Internet, you also need to make best friends with the reference librarian(s) in your local or college library. Libraries these days subscribe to enormous research databases, and they are often usually more useful than Internet searches. Ask your librarian if you have access to EBSCOHost -- it has several databases within it, including a huge one for academic research, at least three for health sciences, one for military and government, and others.

At this webpage, you can go immediately to the search sites (first three columns across the top) -- or even better you can scroll down until you see the section called HOW TO SEARCH THE INTERNET. Those are the links to start with. You'll not only learn how to come up with good search terms, but also how to evaluate the webpages you get as results. Some will be good and others will be garbage. You need to know how to tell the difference.
Hi beautiful people. I am struggling to find a primary source to back up the oft cited claim that Germany was not allowed into the League of Nations. Given that the covenant itself contains no such proscriptions and I am not finding it in the Treaty of Versailles (or maybe I'm just missing it) do any of you have an idea where I can find this? None of the sources I have so far have referenced a primary source so I have no idea where else to look. I have done a google search to no avail. Thanks in advance.
