You can sift through the MANY articles I've saved over the past several years by entering this Google Drive folder (Links to an external site.). It's not particularly well-organized, and not everything in it is scholarly, but you might find some inspiration here.
If you use Google, you'd be better served by using their search engine specifically for scholarly work: Google Scholar (Links to an external site.).
Chaminade's new library website. (Still in draft; some features may not work properly.)
1. Databases available to you via Chaminade's library
  1. Academic Search Elite is the most useful of these (and it's first in the list).
Use your St. Louis County Public Library card to log on to use their databases (Links to an external site.) (Academic Search Elite, Explora, ERIC, etc.).
Use your St. Louis City Public Library card to log on to use their databases (Links to an external site.) (same as above, though there are additional options as well. See, for example, Gale Literary Resources here (Links to an external site.)).
If you do not have a library card for either St. Louis City or St. Louis County, you can apply for an eCard through the St. Louis City Library, which will work for anyone who lives in St. Louis City or County OR anyone who works or goes to school there (this would be all of you). Apply here (Links to an external site.). You will be given an account immediately.
If you live in a city that is part of the Municipal Library Consortium (Links to an external site.) and have a library card, you can access your local library's databases as well.
If you live in St. Charles County and have a library card, check here (Links to an external site.).
The Internet Archive has created what they're calling the National Emergency Library (Links to an external site.), which they describe as "a collection of books that supports emergency remote teaching, research activities, independent scholarship, and intellectual stimulation while universities, schools, training centers, and libraries are closed."
If you are enrolled in any UMSL dual enrollment course this semester, you have access to all of their libraries' electronic content. Go here (Links to an external site.) to get started. You will need your UMSL student ID. Your parents may have this if they were the ones who completed your registration.
If you are enrolled in any SLU 1818 dual enrollment course this semester, you have access to all of their libraries' electronic content. Go here (Links to an external site.) to get started. You will need your SLU Net ID (aka SLU ID) and password. Your parents may have these if they were the ones who completed your registration.
If you are not enrolled in either program, you can still search their electronically available material. If you send me the details of a source (author, title, publishing information), I can get that for you. N.B. If you drop a request for this assistance at the last minute, I can't promise I can get what you need quickly enough.
Apps like OverDrive, Libby, and Hoopla provide ways to "check out" ebooks or audio books (and more) from the public libraries listed above. You'll find directions for doing this on the libraries' pages.
If you are looking for primary sources that are in the public domain (i.e. more than seventy years old), look at Project Gutenberg (Links to an external site.) or similar online open source platforms.
You might try your luck finding scholarly secondary sources via the Directory of Open Access Journals (Links to an external site.).
