Education Source This link opens in a new window
ALERT (February 2024) - EBSCOhost has recently implemented some updates that are causing limited search results. For advanced searching, Boolean operators must be capitalized (AND, OR). Contact librarians@drexel.libanswers.com for assistance. Education Source is the world's largest full-text research database designed for education students, professionals and policymakers. It provides full text, indexing and abstracts for thousands of education journals, books and education-related conference papers. Coverage spans all levels of education and includes educational specialties such as multilingual education, health education and testing. Education Source includes all resources and indexing previously provided by Education Research Complete, as well as to additional resources.

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.
