Finding Secondary Articles on Mill and Rawls

A good resource for locating secondary articles in philosophy is "The Philosopher's Index" which UCSC library has a subscription to. You can access it from here:

http://library.ucsc.edu:8080/Zope//eresources/bytool/ArticleDatabases/#P

The "Sage Full-Text Political Science" collection is also useful and you can find it in the same place.

Go into the databases and search for terms like "Rawls, Basic Structure" or "Mill, Harm Principle" etc.. You may need to do more refined searches for very specific topics to get articles that are of value to you.

If anyone has questions about articles or book chapters they have found do not hesitate to email me.

Also I should mention that if you want to share 1 or 2 of your articles with each other that is fine, just so long as it is clear that you have each individually read the articles and provided your own summary abstract of the article. Hopefully you and a friend will not each turn in abstracts for the same three articles but sharing 1 or 2 amongst each other is just fine.
