Need help researching articles for work? Where do I look?

Question

I am trying to obtain the following articles for a project at work:

1.  Dalziel, C. F., “Electric Shock Hazard”, IEEE Spectrum, Vol. 9, No.2, 1972.

2.  Hackman, D. J. and J. S. Glasgow, “Underwater Electric Shock Hazards”, Journal of Ocean Technology, Vol. 2. No. 3, 1968.

3.  Bove, A. A., “Underwater Electrical Hazards and the Physiology of Electric Shock.”

I have searched on Google, Yahoo, and Dogpile; all I come up with is references to these articles. I need the actually articles. 

Any help is appreciated! 10 points to best answer!!! Thank you!!!

I have had good luck with interlibrary loans.

Take the article list to the reference desk at your local library. If it's a big library, it may already have things like the IEEE journal, but most likely they won't have any of them. For about a buck apiece (at least that's what my library charges), they will contact other libraries to obtain a copy of the articles.

Good luck!

PS  - If that doesn't work, then there are a number of online sites that sell the articles. My experience is that they run in the $15-40 range most of the time.

Type the exact name of the article in double quotes, followed by the last name of the author into google. If it exists on line, this will find it.

eg, enter  “Electric Shock Hazard” Dalziel

there is a good chance they are not available on line, or available only for a fee.
