Finding Articles in Databases - EDUC 170 - Foundations of Education

Databases with Education Content

Academic Search Elite
- Why search here? Great starting point, with something for every subject!
- What's included? Lots of full-text, mostly peer-reviewed and recent, with some older and popular sources.
JSTOR
- Why search here? It’s an excellent tool for scholarly articles and books/chapters from university presses, covering most disciplines.
- What's included? The collection's strength lies in its complete back issues of journal titles covering 75 disciplines, while a weakness is a "moving wall" limiting access to the most recent journal issues - the coverage skews older, so it’s not always a great starting point for researching topics that need to have the most current sources.
ERIC
- Why search here? You’re researching topics related to education, from preschool to college.
- What's included? Lists 1.5 million sources dating from 1966 to the present, including scholarly articles, but also many reports and conference proceedings.
Professional Development Collection
- Why search here? You need professional development materials for educators.
- What's included? Professional Development Collection contains professional development resources for educators with 500 scholarly journals and 230 professional reports.
Google Scholar
- Why search here? You need a variety of scholarly and professional sources like journal articles, books, reports, and proceedings.
