Use a library periodicals database and the library One Search to find the scholarly conversation and articles for your annotated bibliography and literature review. Tips:
Here's a screenshot from the ProQuest database that illustrates what I mean:
Use Subject Terms instead of keywords to find the most relevant articles on a topic.
If you can't figure out what keyword will find you articles on your topic, select Subject Terms (in Academic Search Complete) or the Thesaurus (in ProQuest and browse for the Subject Term used by the database.

The Subject Terms list can also help you identify key subtopics, as in the example below.

ProQuest, Academic Search Complete, and other research databases include article abstracts and citation information without full text. This is useful to you as a researcher!
You may check the filter for Full Text only results (usually at the top or to the side of the results), but if you leave it unchecked, you will learn about highly relevant articles that you can track down elsewhere, whether in another GRC database or in WorldCat.
You can borrow articles we do not have in full text for free through Interlibrary Loan.
Again, the second option shown in the image above allows you to "check for full-text at GRC" and will either connect you to the full-text PDF of the article in another database, or it will take you to a page that looks like the image below, a record in Primo OneSearch.

Effective researchers "mine" or look through the references of a relevant book or article to find additional sources for their own research. This can be a productive technique!
