Examples include:

CAB

-
Academic Search Full-Text Elite
- Academic Search Elite provides full text for over 1,530 academic, social
sciences, humanities, general science, education and multi-cultural journals.
In addition to the full text, this database offers indexing and abstracts for
nearly 2,720 journals. Over 1,700 journals are peer reviewed. Full text
backfiles go as far back as January of 1990, while indexing and abstract
backfiles go as far back as January of 1984
-
INGENTA
-
Ingenta has broad coverage, but it has another forte. It's a table of contents database, and the provider indexes its content quickly. Look here for current event topics.
