Library Databases

The following are two of the best library databases for locating articles within the field of education. See image below for how to search the contents of a specific publication.

Education Source
Subject: Education
Content/Description: Includes full-text scholarly journal articles, periodicals, and reviews. Covers all levels of education - from early childhood to higher education - as well as educational specialties, such as multilingual education, health education and testing.
ERIC

Subject: Education
Content/Description: Contains journal articles and unpublished research reports in education. ERIC can also be accessed via the U.S. Department of Education interface or via ProQuest.
Please Note:: Per EO14222, the Department of Education is working to reduce spending and promote efficiency. As a result, the number of records added to the ERIC collection will be significantly reduced from approximately 1,200 to 700 (roughly 45%) by April 25, 2025. All records currently in ERIC will remain. Indexed journals confirmed to be removed are being added to this list. We will continue to track developments; please consider using the Education Source database as an alternative.
