I just signed up for a trial with Highbeam Research, and I'm finding the kind of articles there that I've been looking for. But I'm a little scared by the warnings on several blogs concerning Highbeam's billing practices and TOS. Would you have any recommendations regarding a service that would work for a serious student, not affiliated with a University? I'd like to keep the cost in the $150-250/year range. Thanks for any help that anyone can provide.
