UNBISNet (United Nations Bibliographic Information System) - search engine to UN Documents with links to full text of many reports.
A few tips...
to find the full text of an article in a database, click on the title for the full record, then look for the Find It! @ Wellesley button to link to the full text (online if available, or in print, or by Interlibrary loan request if we don't own the journal)
to find the full text of an article from a print citation, use Article Locator (fill in the journal title, year, volume, issue, and pages if you have them)
do your searching early and place interlibrary loan requests NOW for books and articles we don't have -- then, when you're ready to start reading and writing, you'll have a great selection of materials. If you wait, your choices will be very limited.
use synonyms to find all the ways your topic is expressed: status or class or social position
use truncation to save time: consum* for consumer, consumerism, etc.
combine multiple concepts using AND for best results
example: car or vehicle or automobile AND status symbol or luxury or wealth
