List of Databases for Education Topics

EBSCO's Databases

A good place to start your research, as this collection of databases cover (almost) all topics. Very powerful search interface, but works just fine with simple searches.  Need help searching EBSCO's Databases?

ERIC logo

ERIC.ed.gov

This database is maintained by the US government, and it contains the most recent articles, conference papers, and studies done in the area of education.  It can also be searched within EBSCO, but the full-text of many of the articles is in this freely accessible website.  We recommend you search it separately here.  However, if you prefer, search it within EBSCO.  Need help searching ERIC?

Wiley Online Library

This is also a broad database that covers many subjects like EBSCO. Need help searching Wiley Online Library?

Disability in the Modern World: History of a Social Movement

One person in seven experiences disability, yet the story of this community and its contributions is largely absent from the scholarly record. Access to the primary and secondary source materials within this collection enables you to include this important piece of the puzzle in your research. (Alexander Street)
