Key Databases

This list of databases is the library's "best bets" for research within this subject area.

Education Source is a full-text database covering all levels of education research and specialties such as multilingual education, health education and testing. This database has access to 1,217 active full-text education journals.

The largest education database in the world, ERIC includes citations for journal articles, books, research papers, conference papers, technical reports, policy papers, dissertations, theses, and other materials in the field of education. A majority of the journals are peer-reviewed.

The resources indexed in this database include academic journals, reports, and reference sources in the field of education.

This extensive database includes materials on most academic disciplines, including information technology, and thousands of the publications are peer-reviewed journals.

Academic OneFile provides peer-reviewed journals related to information technology plus trade/professional publications, magazines, and other information sources that support a broad range of subjects and programs of study.

This collection provides access to scientific and scholarly peer-reviewed articles written by esteemed researchers from across psychology and the behavioral and social sciences. It is also useful for finding information on psychological topics related to education, such as learning and motivation.
