In addition to looking at the major Education & Psychology databases,
consider your other options. Remember that you can search multiple databases simultaneously within database "families", i.e., EBSCOHost or ProQuest.
We have the 2008 edition of SAGE Encyclopedia of Qualitative Research Methods available in GALILEO.
Some general databases to consider for a variety of topics include Academic Research Complete, ProQuest Dissertation Abstracts (aka ProQuest Dissertions & Theses). Web of Science is another good one for multiple subjects.
Web of Science. Find articles by author, topic or journal title in Web of Science. One of the best features of Web of Science is the display of the number of times a particular article has been cited, by whom and in what journal. This is an excellent way to discover seminal papers in your field. Search for authors by lastname first initial asterisk (ex. : Bergmann C*) without any additional punctuation. Use the asterisk in place of the middle name. Web of Science is all scholarly materials but is not particularly strong in education, although that is getting better over time.
For topics relating to student athletes, consider the following: Medline, ProQuest Nursing and Allied Health, CINAHL (Cumulative Index to Nursing & Allied Health), SPORTDiscus, Physical Education Index, and OregonPDF. Also, please consider the Kinesiology options from the drop-down menu in the Articles & Databases>>by subject tab.
For research on transgender students, the medically-oriented databases listed above will also apply as well as Family & Society Studies Worldwide, Family Studies Abstracts, LGBT Life, Sociological Abstracts and/or Sociological Collection, Violence & Abuse Abstracts, & Women's Studies International.
You'll find quality sources for student veterans in the Education & Psychology databases mentioned above as well as in PILOTS. This database focuses largely on the mental & physical health issues some veterans may have and is produced by the U.S. Department of Veterans' Affairs.
Looking for policy discussions? Consider Policy File, which has links to full-text policy reports from a variety of think-tanks and non-governmental agencies. Keep the agendas of the agencies in mind when looking here! Also consider Political Science Complete Public Administration Abstracts, & Public Affairs Index. SREB is the Southern Regional Education Board database and may also have some policy recommendations.
Resources relating to adult learners can be found in the GALILEO listing for Education--Adult
STEM topics can be found in both the general Education K-16 GALILEO listing as well as in specific science (Biology, Chemistry, Physics & Astronomy) Math & Engineering listings. Scroll through the drop-down menu of Subjects in the Articles & Databases tab from the Libraries Homepage for more ideas and options.
