Best General Databases for Education

Chronicle of Higher Education (1989+)
Full text of the premier newspaper for college and university faculty and administrators.
Education Source (EBSCOhost)
“This database provides scholarly research and information to meet the needs of education students, professionals, and policy makers. It covers all levels of education — from early childhood to higher education — as well as all educational specialties such as multilingual education, health education, and testing.”
See also Education Index Retrospective (1929-1983)

formerly Education Full Text (H.W.Wilson) (1983+)
ERIC (EBSCOhost) (1966+)
ERIC is the most complete index to articles and reports on educational topics.

ERIC is available from several database vendors, including ProQuest. UCF students are advised to use ERIC in EBSCOhost, which provides many links to full text and allows users to search multiple education databases simultaneously. Users who are not UCF students are advised to use ERIC from DOE because no login is required.
ERIC Thesaurus
a carefully selected list of education-related words and phrases assigned to ERIC records to organize them by subject and make them easier to retrieve through a search.
ERIC (DOE)
ERIC is available from several database vendors, including EBSCOhost and ProQuest. Users who are not UCF students are advised to use ERIC from DOE because no login is required.
Education in Video (Alexander Street)
"includes hundreds of in-classroom videos on key teaching topics and themes from the most respected education publishers worldwide."
