Some research topics need a bit of vocabulary logic to find sufficient books and articles.

Canned pieces of searches for specific components are often called "search hedges" or "search filters".

These recommendations can be used in combination with whatever other concepts your topic requires.

All are provided in the syntax appropriate for EBSCOhost and OneSearch searches unless otherwise noted.

Semantic Scholar is a free database of millions of scholarly publications in the fields of computer science and neuroscience. Most of the indexed content is open access, although some content may require use of Interlibrary Loan to get the full text.

As a joint project of Microsoft, Google, and Baidu, it offers a significantly more sophisticated search engine than Google Scholar for these fields including advanced filters designed specifically for those knowledge domains.

SSRN is an open access research platform used to share early-stage research, evolve ideas, measure results, and connect scholars around the world. Provides early access to scholarship by publishing article abstracts and full-text access to preprints/working papers for over 1.4 million articles from most academic fields, not just the social sciences. 

Some full text content requires paid subscription but most is free, but may require free account registration.
