JStor: We have access to scholarly journals and some chapters of books (make sure it says "Access provided by Inglemoor High School" at the top). You'll see a lot of book reviews, which isn't the same as using the book for research, but a great resource for a summary of the book's contents. Cite these as a book review from JStor. This database has a higher reading level, aimed at college students and beyond. Access at home by following these directions.  An example article that includes primary source material cited within it (search separately) is The Revolution and Mexican Foreign Policy and another The Mexican Constitution of 1917 Compared with The Constitution of 1857, where in 1917 this journal published a side-by-side comparison of the two constitutions, translated into English (also Primary source). Also, the journal article "Foreign Investment in Mexico, 1876-1910: A Case Study of the Role of Regional Elites" and Some Considerations on the Rurales of Porfirian Mexico have been very helpful to some students.
