These are the best subject databases (meaning they collect articles by subject area) to start looking for articles on education related topics. You can do advanced and basic searches in these databases. You can also see our full list of Electronic Resources.
ERIC Update
The Education Resources Information Center (ERIC) is funded and operated by the Department of Education. As one of the world’s largest databases for educational research, ERIC provides access to a large collection of journal and non-journal literature in the field of education-related research. Editors of certain journals indexed in ERIC have received emails stating that the U.S. Department of Education will no longer include their journal in the ERIC database.
It is expected that the ERIC database will be reducing the collection by approx. 45% starting in April 24, 20
If you have any upcoming/ongoing searches that will use ERIC. I suggest you run and export all results before April 24.
You can use Zotero to store & manage those citations
