For scholarly articles, see the following databases.
NOTICE (April 24, 2025): ERIC will see a significant reduction in its content effective April 24, 2025. You will see less research and fewer results going forward. Visit www.library.drexel.edu for more information and other sources of education-related journals and databases.
===================
Search directly on the government database ERIC (Education Resources Information Center) sponsored by the Institute of Education Sciences of the U.S. Department of Education, which is an authoritative database of indexed and full text education literature and resources. Content types include journal articles, books, conference papers, curriculum guides, dissertations, policy papers, and reports.
Key tip: while the ERIC.ed.gov website is best for browsing, just recall that to get full text of articles you will need to copy the first six or seven words of the article title. Then return to the Drexel Libraries website (library.drexel.edu) to paste the article title in the main box on the front page. Most often, Drexel will have full text of your desired article. In the case where you get no results, look for the checkbox at the top that says "Add results beyond your library's collection." This option will retrieve a citation, from which you can follow the "Request" links to complete the inter-library loan (ILLiad) form. You will receive an email notifying you about full text typically within 48 hours.
