Learning Resources have recently acquired a database called SCOPUS which will be of potential use to level three business students and above. SCOPUS is a form of citation index. It is not the best way to get to full text material ( you should persevere with DISCOVER for that ).
However if you are at the stage of a literature search this is how you might choose to use SCOPUS.
Try a search for "business ethics". There are over 3000 results, retrieved chronologically.
Each of the results includes the reference list used. A recent article with lots of references can therefore give you a good clue about which journal titles are going to be useful and maybe key authors in your area too.
This is known as citation analysis.
Don't be despondent if you can't get to all these initally in Full Text. SCOPUS is literally "scoping" the literature available and there are often other routes to getting hold of it.
Journal of Business Ethics - a key resource for the above search is available both in print and online.
