I searched "Canadian oil sands". There were 572 full text matches and 31 of those were peer reviewed. The matches are pretty current with one being from Feb. 7. (I started this post a few weeks ago) I selected some the articles and emailed them to myself. With a list this long, you can make a shorter list of the articles you want to look at in more depth by checking them and they'll be added the "selected items" list. You can also create an account and save articles to "My Research". If you click on "Cite", you can open a box with the citation to use for the bibliography. At the top of the list is a list suggested subjects that could better target the search.
I read few posts and was surprised to see that some thought this was difficult to use. I guess, if you're not used to using a database like this, it would take a bit of investigating to become familiar with it but it's well worth pursuing.
I searched for "Library Journal". I able to list the contents a specific issue and then look at one of the articles from that issue. If you wanted specific recurring section, this would be one way to do it; or if you know that a particular article is in a particular issue it would be easy to find this way.
