scholar.google.com is okay (depending on your field)- you can sometimes get full-text articles through Google Scholar, but you will not be able to access many of the best journal databases and full-text articles without some kind of university access.
Your best bet is to go to your local state university's library (make sure it is a school that focuses on research, rather than a teaching school, or a liberal-arts college, as they may have fewer subscriptions to article databases). The libraries of private universities often restrict access to those with a university ID card, but public universities, being supported with public funds, usually let anyone in, although you may need to pay an additional fee to get a card to check out books, etc. You should be able to use the computers in the library to search. If you cannot (like you need an ID and password), talk to a research librarian because you may be able to get access, even if you have to pay a small fee to get it.

I'm a university student and didn't know they let anyone without a student ID search on their system. Better advise - go to your local city library. They have access to a lot of journals and can show you how to access on-line sources.

You don't mention which subject you are searching. I'd suggest you check with your public library to see if they provide access to databases such as EbscoHost or ProQuest. You can search for most subjects on these databases, and you can limit the results to scholarly journals--sometimes referred to as "peer reviewed" journals. Good luck.

Your local library, you go with with a university student and go to the university library. You yahoo the profession's journals online.
You kids are so darn lazy it's amazing. You going to get someone to go to work for you so you don't have to and then collect your pay?

Try this:
http://scholar.google.com/
It's googles search of scholarly articles. I don't know if this will help, but it won't hurt to look. Good luck. (-:
