Just such a resource does exist. It's called the Electric Library. They
have full text versions of hundreds of publications online- from the
purely popular to some of the most respected academic journals. They have
a very adequate search engine on the site that allows you to query by
subject, keyword and author. Your query produces a number of "hits" which
are links to the articles. Click on the links you want to pursue and it
takes you to a full text version of the article. You can either print out
a copy of the article or just download it to your computer for future
reference/use.

They offer a 30-day free introduction to the site. Their address is:
http://www.elibrary.com

Hope this helps.
