How to you even FIND the databases? Start with the Libraries' Homepage.
Another method is to identify your databases by topic.
The blue button in database search results will connect you to our electronic holdings of the JOURNAL where your article appears. If we don't electronically own the material you need, go to the GIL-FIND catalog to see if we have the item in print. Search for the journal title and not the article!
In addition to looking at the major Education & Psychology databases, ERIC, Education Research Complete & APA PsycInfo (aka PsycInfo), consider your other options. Remember that you can search multiple databases simultaneously within database "families", i.e., EBSCOHost or ProQuest.
Children's Literature Comprehensive Database. Search by title, limit by age/grade/Lexile Level for thousands of books. Libraries' holdings are linked. (Not a "family" member)
EBSCO e-Book Collection Search and browse for full-text children's titles and articles related to children's lit.
EBSCO Espanol EBSCO databases translated into Spanish.
Explora for Elementary, Middle & High School. Full-text materials related to hundreds of topics, geared to particular grade levels. Includes Lexile Information.
Films On Demand--Thousands of educational films for classroom use.
JSTOR Access to back issues (from the date of first publication) of selected, core journals.
Literature Resource Center A complete literature reference database featuring biographical, bibliographical, and critical content.
MLA International Bibliography Scholarly materials on a huge variety of topics related to literature.
Project Muse Full text archive of articles on literature and criticism, history, art, and social sciences
Web of Science only indexes scholarly materials, so you won't have to limit your results to get them. It's heavily tilted toward the "hard" sciences, but is getting increasing coverage for the social sciences as well. One of the cool features of this database is that you can sort your results by "number of times cited". This is great way to discover articles that are heavily used in your field.
